By Sam Christopher Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars (Highest Rating) I made a decision a few months ago that I normally make when a movie I’m really looking forward to is being made. It’s a decision and a plan I almost suspended completely seeing as how this was Thor. Not just some superhero flick… [...]

Comic Book Reviews: The Planet of the Apes goes BOOM! (and other tidbits)
By Sam Christopher The latest chapter in the history of A World Gone Ape began this week with BOOM! Studios’ Planet of the Apes #1.

Comic Book Reviews: Into the Kingdom…
By Sam Christopher Okay, a month or so ago (more or less), IDW launched a new series filled with giant lizards and all manner of destruction with Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #1. Since the second ish came out this week I thought it a good time to comment on both. I love Godzilla! Have since [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Judgment on Gotham Storyline
By Sam Christopher Azrael’s comic may have ended but his story hasn’t. Michael Lane turned up in Batman #708, ostensibly to stop The Crusader—a villain who thought he was God’s messenger and that it was his Holy Mission to kill the pretender, Lane, before learning the error of his ways—from visiting holy retribution on Gotham [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Gods of Marvel Comics
By Sam Christopher I make it no secret that Thor is my favorite comics character. Has been since the moment I realized he was a comics character. When I was a kid Marvel had a very good way of handling him, making him a superhero more than a god. They hinted at it from time [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Annihilators, Astonishing Thor, Formic Wars and More
By Sam Christopher Hanging around the comics shop you have the most interesting conversations. I went by the local store here, Futurevisions, and chatted with Rich, the owner, and my friend Donnie, both of whom I’ve mentioned to you before. Rich’s store is the awesomest place on Earth (outside Las Vegas) and Donnie was the [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Kull, Red Sonja, Star Trek Infestation, Incorruptible, and More
By Sam Christopher The ending comes a little rushed in Kull: The Hate Witch #4. For those who weren’t sure, our scar-faced barbarian-king defeats the evil spirit at her own game and redeems his friend at the same time. The one piece of coolness that was unforeseen is the end, which hints that this may [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Star Trek Infestation and More
By Sam Christopher We’ll start off this week with a comic about the walking dead. There are three of those in this edition (not counting the DC and Marvel books, which are technically ALL about characters who have died and returned to life) by three different companies. Beginning with the most oddball of the three, [...]

Comic Book Reviews: Gothom City Sirens, Irredeemable, Batman Beyond, and More
By Sam Christopher DC has pretty much finished with the Whiteout covers. There’s only one this week, and it belongs to Gotham City Sirens #19. This month’s GCS is all about confronting the past and either defeating it or being beaten into a sword by it. Zatanna offers Selina something she can’t pass up but [...]
