All right, so, I actually liked the Victories. When I picked up the ARC for the first volume compilation I figured I would read through it. I like comic books and I like super hero stories. Particularly new stories that don’t stick to just the classic characters we see all the time. […]
Pathfinder Wades Through Dark Waters Rising
Pathfinder: Dark Waters Rising Vol. 1 Jim Zub and Andrew Huerta Dynamite Entertainment May 28, 2013 Get It Now To any Dungeons and Dragons players out there: I apologize. I am not the biggest D&D fan in the world. I’m also probably the worst player ever. Don’t get me wrong, […]
The Secret History of D.B. Cooper
D.B. Cooper is a modern American legend. If you’ve never heard of him, you’ve at least heard of what he did. It’s been replicated in television shows and movies since 1971. That is when he hijacked an aircraft, demanded two things – $200,000 and a military grade parachute – and […]
Mars Attacks! … Popeye?
Okay, so, they don’t attack just Popeye. The crazy aliens from Mars Attacks! go after a couple of IDW’s very different properties and Popeye just happens to be one of them. Zombies vs Robots, Kiss, The Real Ghostbusters, and The Transformers round out the rest and it’s a crazy little mix […]
Happy! is the Most Demented Christmas Comic Ever
This is one messed up book. I mean, you kind of get that when you look at the cover. It’s called ‘Happy!’ but the guy is anything but happy. He’s a hulking figure of forlorn debauchery. Plus its’ written by Grant Morrison and he had some pretty grotesque stories in […]

Mind MGMT is a Chaotic, Cerebral Thriller
At first, I was a little put off by Mind MGMT. It was the style, I think. It’s a very raw artwork that reminds min a lot of ways a ohigh school art student’s colored pencil drawings and the sort of sketches you see in art museums by famous artists […]
Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong…
Most of the comic books I read are published by Marvel so I always appreciate the chance to check out something new and original. Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong is an fun, quirky graphic novel for YA readers set in your average Southern high school. And I thought it was […]
An Open Letter to the DC 101 Guys
At WonderCon 2013 this past weekend, the Senior Vice President of Marketing for DC John Cunningham and writer Scott Lobdell got together for a panel called ‘DC 101.’ It was described as a different kind of comic book panel. It would cater to people who weren’t habitual comic readers and […]
Dial H for…
Any schmuck can be a superhero? That sounds nice and all but does anyone really believe it? Heck no. There’s no way that my fat ass is going to be running around saving the world from super villains. If I could I totally would. But unless we’re talking Butterball from the […]
