Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers #1: No Case Too Big, No Case Too Small
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 30, 2010
If you were born in the mid-8os like me, you have fond memories of watching the Disney Afternoon line-up of cartoons. Nothing beat coming home from first grade, plunking down in front of the TV, and binging on Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, TaleSpin, and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers all in a row. BOOM! Studios has already [...]
Soldier Zero #1: Stan Lee! BOOM! C’mon!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 20, 2010
It always kind of bums me out when two great things come out at once and only one of them gets a lick of attention. After twenty minutes in my local shop, it seemed like everybody was singing the praises of Kick-Ass 2 and nobody was talking about (or picking up, for that matter) BOOM! [...]
Dracula: The Company of Monsters #1 Preview!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 24, 2010
Vampires are everywhere right now (really, X-Men? Really?) and when I saw that a book with a title like Dracula: The Company of Monsters was coming out on BOOM!, my first thought was, “Oh, shit, not you guys, too!” But then I saw a glimmer of hope shining through my funk of apathy for the [...]
7 Psychopaths #1: My Favorite Non-Alcoholic French Import
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 24, 2010
I’ve always been a bit curious about foreign comics. Aside from a few old Astérix comics I’ve flipped through, I’m pretty much in the dark about any comics from the non-English speaking world. Meanwhile, over in France, Delcourt Productions has been reprinting translated versions of a bunch of American and Japanese comics including Invincible, The [...]
The Duck Knight Returns: Darkwing Duck Preview!
Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 28, 2010
Christmas came early this year! This morning, I woke up to a five page preview of BOOM! Studios‘ upcoming Darkwing Duck title. I’ve been a little nervous ever since the miniseries was announced because this thing has the potential to completely ruin my childhood. I needn’t have worried. Darkwing is safe under the stewardship of [...]
Kill Shakespeare #1: Kids Who Enjoyed Junior Year English, Rejoice!
Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 13, 2010
The soaring popularity of Alan Moore‘s League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Vertigo’s Fables has inspired a slew of seeming copycats, enough that at this point the meta-literary comic could be given its own sub-genre. This month, IDW offers up Anthony Del Col & Conor McCreery’s Kill Shakespeare, a story that “pits Shakespeare’s greatest heroes against [...]
Wall-E #1: “And Now Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!”
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: December 20, 2009
When I was a small child, my favorite book was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I loved this book for the pictures. I didn’t especially relate to a wild-child having a tantrum and being sent to his room. I did not own a wolf suit. I had certainly never been across a [...]
Incorruptible #1 – Mark Waid Should Be a Meta-Human Therapist
Posted by: Maggie_C on: December 14, 2009
Even as a good guy, Max Damage is a dick – and that’s what makes Incorruptible awesome. The long-awaited (at least by us ) follow up to Mark Waid’s Irredeemable – which features the Plutonian, a Superman-esque hero, going very, very bad - Incorruptible is the story of a villain going straight. Mild spoilers ahead, folks. [...]
Dingo #1: Return of the MacGuffin
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 30, 2009
We all have that one family member who manages to do the one thing that totally annoys you. The cousin who got evicted and needs to live on your couch “for a while.” The teenager who takes the car out for a joyride and gets in “a small accident, no big deal.” The brother who [...]
