The comic book movies I really love (the first Superman, the first Spider-Man, the first Iron Man, The Dark Knight) always send me back to the comics, and Captain America: The First Avenger was no exception. A faithful translation of a four-colour hero’s adventure leaves me jazzed about that character, and reminds me why I [...]

It’s soon to be the first day of the rest of Captain America’s some more life, apparently, so we’re having a special edition of Justify Your Existence in which we take a look at some of the many, many ways that comic book folks have cheated death over the years. This is a very small [...]

Marvel went to the press this week with the most obvious shocking comic-related announcement of the year: Captain America is returning…from the grave! We would like to offer some ideas about how Ed Brubaker, Marvel and Co. could go about bringing Steve Rogers back from the dead. Dave has included some helpful illustrations so as [...]

A bit of a light week for me. Here’s some of what I bought this week: Captain America #50 There is a Marcos Martin back-up in this comic that I would have gladly paid $3.99 for on its own. It’s a stunning summarization of Captain America’s complete story from origin to present. The design is [...]

Several of this week’s Marvel offerings had a teaser image in them that showed a white star on a black page with the word JULY underneath. This is probably just an ad for THE MARVELS PROJECT, Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting’s upcoming mini about the early days of the Super-Soldier Project and the creation of [...]

The Flash: Rebirth #1 I have made it pretty clear that I will buy anything that Geoff Johns writes, so I was pretty excited about this. Plus, I really enjoyed Green Lantern: Rebirth, so I was hoping that this would promise to be as good. The first issue of the story of Barry Allen’s return starts [...]

Hiya everyone! Here are some of the comics I read this week! The Muppet Show #1 I am actually astonished at how well this was executed. It’s really, really great. The way the characters are only drawn from the waist up, the jokes, the structure of the comic mirroring the Muppet Show episodes. It’s just [...]

Would you believe I am still sick? This is the worst cold ever. BUT I am done my classes and I only have a few things to finish up before I am done school forever! I am going to celebrate by playing video games all day and partying all night. Here are some comics I [...]

And the award for most homoerotic panel in Ultimatum #1 goes to… Man, what a terrible comic. Seriously. I know Jeph Loeb sucks at writing comics, but man…it’s like, I have read menus with more compelling stories. And they had better-constructed characters. I did enjoy Dr. Doom’s musical number, though: I loved this promise at [...]

I’m in the mood for super hunks, and it’s long past due that I rate the sexiest one-armed octogenarian around: James "Bucky" Barnes aka Winter Soldier aka Captain America Costume/Appearance: Oh, Bucky. Where Do I begin? Even as Captain America’s teenage sidekick in WWII, you were a snappy dresser. And having your arm blown off, [...]
