Sam found the penultimate issue of John Flood to be somewhat of a letdown, but continued to enjoy The Woods, both from BOOM! Studios. Kylee tried out Mystery Girl, a new series offering from Dark Horse, that impressed her with the boring, everyday bits more than the story itself. Jackson continues to enjoy East […]
The new Batman vs. Superman trailer has Doomsday, Diana and so much Luthor
My biggest worry about Batman vs. Superman has been the relentless grimness of so much of the promotional material so far. I guess that’s what makes the nuttiness of the new one at least, I don’t know, a little exciting? Surprising? There are jokes but also Doomsday? Wonder Woman shows […]
The Dark Knight III isn’t the Comic You Want to Love or the One You Want to Hate
For better or much, much worse, Frank Miller’s reputation has proceeded him in comics for something like 30 years. At its best, Miller’s name is a reference to a genre-blending master of form and function, who re-branded Daredevil as a character before permanently redefining Batman as a character and concept. […]

The #NerdsRead Pull List – November 25, 2015
Fight Club 2 continues to be the bane of Kylee’s existence and she continues to read it out of sheer spite. At least Jackson enjoyed DC Comics’ The Omega Men and Grayson. He also is still on board the Saga train with the rest of us comics readers. All of his comics fro this week’ […]

Sam took a look at BOOM! Studios’ offerings this week – with Giant Days reeling her back in and Lumberjanes continuing to impress. Kylee looks forward to every new issue of The Paybacks, if only to see what z-team hero the creators can come up with next. Jackson looks at a rather niche Batman Europa from […]

This week from BOOM! Studios, Sam reviewed Lantern City and Kylee is enjoying the latest offering of Zodiac Starforce.
