I bought comics! And now you get to read about them! Flashpoint No. 2 (and about a million miniseries) (DC) Why it’s Here: I’m honestly not sure. Is it because I feel like I should at least make a pass at reviewing DC’s Summer crossover? Because I want to see what kind of tomfoolery [...]

DC Comics’ theme cover month has had a somewhat jarring effect on me this week, in that it starkly outlines just how many of their books I’m buying. I guess I’m enjoying them all, but it’s still weird. Especially as the only two books I feel like talking about this week are from other publishers. [...]

This is going to be intensely abbreviated, as I can imagine that reading my thoughts on comics is beginning to pall. After this, you get a week off. New: Hellboy: the Sleeping and the Dead, which is a two-parter set in 1966 and features Hellboy vs. vampires, one of my favourite situations. This is supposed [...]

I will be brief. Here are the new series that wowed me in the dearly departed 2010. Age of Reptiles – Is it wrong that I weigh the amazing panoramic vistas and incredibly rendered herds of multiple dinosaur species and the wordless drama of predator v. prey as highly as the puerile giggles I get [...]

Well hell. This has been sitting here as a draft for two days. Pretend that didn’t happen. Yes, everything is shiny and new in 2011 and my hose is abuzz with the sounds of my girlfriend tossing things out to make room for all the junk sweet loot that we were presented with over the [...]

As I said, I had an enormous list of potential "Best of" candidates that were ruthlessly whittled down to the top ten that has by now been enshrined in the hearts of nerdlingers everywhere. But why should all of my hard work go to waste, huh? Thus: the runners-up post. First up, a list of [...]

That’s right, it’s December, that magical month in which I don’t seem to actually be doing a whole lot more with my time but somehow there still never actually seems to be enough time to do things. So much was bought but little was read, so sad, so sad. No matter! Here are some bullet [...]

This may be it, folks. We may have hit my point of karmic balance for those two astonishingly good weeks of new comics: a week of decent comics that are components of pretty good series. And that’s okay, I guess. Kind of leaves me high and dry for reviews though. Let’s see what I can [...]

Lots of indie books fulla monster-fighting this week, which is just how I like it. First up, Mystery Society hit the magic number and so it’s time for the long-absent THIRD ISSUE RECAP to make its triumphant return. Here’s the poop: young wealthies Nick Hammond and his wife Anastasia Collins have started the Mystery Society [...]

I’ve had a terrible tendency lately to let the slightest bit of business on a Thursday evening derail me from writing those reviews that I do, but I will battle against those procrastination impulses with the only weapon that I have: brevity! Yes, by telling myself that it will take less time than usual, I [...]
