By Sam Christopher I’ve had the flu all week. I’m not kidding, ALL week. I’m fine and then I’m dizzy and achy; I’m fine and then weak and nauseous. I remember when I never got sick and now I feel like I should be packed away in a plastic bubble. Unbelievable! But I know that’s [...]

Comic Book Reviews: More DC White-Outs and Thor Mighty Avenger Ends
By Sam Christopher First, a nod to our ever-faithful Comic Book Guy. Not the waddling, child-hating cartoon character on The Simpsons, but the waddling, child-hating cartoon character that runs Futurevisions, my local comics shop. Richard Woodard, one of my best friends and the owner of said comics shop, has spent the last few days in [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Roundup of the Latest Titles
By Sam Christopher Part One- Snowbound: Every DC comic I got this week had a white cover, probably bringing our attention to the new $2.99 cover price for virtually all their titles and a not-so-subtle message that they’re the good guys in the comics industry (hence the white… covers… it’s all very psychological). Well, all [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Batman the Dark Knight and More Bat Titles
By Sam Christopher We kick off this examination of Bat-books for the last couple weeks with, appropriately enough, Batman: The Dark Knight #1. This is a new title—and I just never look closely enough at Previews so I’m never sure if this is a mini or an ongoing series; what’s life without some element of [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Who’s Really Going to Die (for a While at Least) in the Fantastic Four
By Sam Christopher I think I’ll start this rant with Fantastic Four #586. I will not waste time whining about Marvel killing off a beloved character. Instead, I’ll try and figure out the rationale we’ll get when whichever of these characters is brought back to life later. The funniest thing about this ish was in [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Sword and Sorcery in Comics of Late
By Sam Christopher Dark Horse has started up their latest miniseries based on the works of Robert E. Howard with Kull: The Hate Witch #1. Kull is, of course, becoming bored with the hum-drum everyday of ruling the kingdom of Valusia. Yes, there are intrigues and treacheries to keep him on his toes but most [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Back from the Dead in Comics
By Sam Christopher Our friendly neighborhood zombie Gwen chows on the wrong brain (maybe) in I Zombie #9. Well, actually it happened last ish but she starts to deal with the ramifications here. She and Ellie the Friendly Ghost (a lot of friendliness here the way I tell it, huh?) talk things over while: Amon [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Action Comics Annual (Unlucky) #13
By Sam Christopher Welcome to the Darkseid, or How Overuse Ruins Another Great Comics Character: There was a time, back in the late ‘80s, when I could name every single Punisher/Spiderman appearance together. The Punisher had just started his own monthly series after years of being a guest villain, and then just being a guest, [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Epic Battles in Comics This Past Week
By Sam Christopher “Master” scribe Chris Eliopoulos (get it? He writes about the Pet Avengers? PETS… master? Get it? What? I didn’t say it was funny, just asked if you got it.) and artist Ig Guara have another hit on their hands with Avengers vs. Pet Avengers #2. It seems the dragons of old have [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Batman Titles of Late
By Sam Christopher With all the hoopla surrounding the return to DC continuity of Darkseid’s Doomsday Mach—er, Bruce Wayne—I thought I’d catch those of you not reading up on what Bruce means to the Batman Family in particular and to the DCU in general. Bruce has indeed returned and this time he has a plan. [...]
