METAL MEN!!! Ever since I first learned of these guys during the New 52 Justice League run I’ve been looking to enjoy some more of them, so it seems lucky that there’s a maxi-series unfolding right now! #spoilers Will Magnus, genius doctor and creator of the Metal Men, brings us up to speed on hisContinue reading “Metal Men #1 (of 12)”

I’ve managed to let Amazing Spider-Man pile up a bit in my read pile the past few months, so I’m currently playing catch-up. I just finished the 2099 Is In Trouble… arc, and it was pretty good, but the artwork is what really stole the show for me. #spoilers The plot revolves around a lot of foreign espionageContinue reading “2099 Is In Trouble… (ASM #32-36)”

The Abrams Spidey story continues to unfold, revealing some gruesome and mind-boggling imagery! #spoilers The issue opens with Ben and Peter having an argument in the wake of the former’s early outings in bus father’s old Spidey duds. It all comes to a pique when the room explodes and Cadaverous shows up, impaling and abductingContinue reading “Spider-Man #3 (2020)”

Happy New Year’s, everybody! DC put out a nice tie-in for the holiday season this past month, what’s more it actually focused more on New Year’s than Christmas which is a nice change of pace (we can all use a breather from Xmas, right?). #spoilers In eighty pages there’s a fair amount of variety here.Continue reading “New Year’s Evil #1”

#spoilers Just when you thought Tom King couldn’t get anymore Tom King about it… I know the cover boasts an EPIC FINALE, but given the fact that there isn’t a ceremonious blurb written by Tom at the end of this book I have to believe that this isn’t the actual end… I haven’t looked itContinue reading “Batman #85”

I don’t know if this is a common thing. I have a couple friends that run into this scenario all the time, so I gotta imagine it’s relatively common, but who knows. One of my favorite things about comic books is the power of the impulse buy, more specifically the COVER impulse buy. It’s prettyContinue reading “Comic Cover Impulse Buys!”

#spoilers This was a very tight book. It’s a perfect show for how Tom King can pack a literal punch behind a simple message. The book begins with Thomas Wayne taking a swing at Batman – a nice solid POW to the jaw. From there the book turns back time as we go back throughContinue reading “Batman #84”

#spoilers Well… it’s gone and happened again… serious Civil War vibes in this issue. The cover doesn’t lie: Superman reveals his identity to the world, and he does it via press conference (I’m not kidding, the echoes to when Spider-Man revealed his identity are real). The entirety of the issue showcases Superman sharing his close friendsContinue reading “Superman #18 – Revealed to the World!”

I finished up the first volume of The Ultimates finally, and I find it nothing short of awesome. #spoilers Following a slow start to their tenure as a team, having defeated the Hulk, the Ultimates are faced with the threat of the Chitauri, Nazi-allied aliens that have come back to haunt Captain America. What unfoldsContinue reading “The Ultimates Wrap-up”

At long last….. Spawn. That heavy metal symbol of bad-assery courtesy of the great Todd McFarlane finally made his way into my readings, and I loved every panel. #spoilers Spawn, for you few who aren’t aware, tells the story of a man returned from the dead by a demon, cursing him to wage war onContinue reading “Spawn: Origins Collection Vol. 1”
