The other night I finally watched Man-Thing – the Marvel movie from 2005 that no one seems to have seen or know anything about. I really dig Man-Thing as a concept so I just had to know. These were my thoughts at the time, now with commentary! Right now @DanialCarroll is in my house, in [...]

Man, I was all set to drop Hickman’s Fantastic Four and then he does this. The death last month was good, much better than I was expecting, but this follow up is just sublime. Easily the best comic of the week, perhaps the best of the year so far. Nick Dragotta on art is a [...]

I like me a good Conan comic. Sometimes they aren’t so good and while the narrative of this one won’t blow you away the art will. This is some of the best Conan art I’ve ever seen and you could buy it, tear it up for little posters, and get more than your money’s worth. [...]

I like this series and my main problem is that sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s great. I want it to be great all the time. This issue sees some great moments as the Bard is finally revealed, and one scene underwater is one of the most disturbing images I’ve seen in a comic in [...]

I am a big fan of crime comics and I’m happy to list this as one of the better ones hitting shelves right now. But it’s not just a straight up crime comic, it’s a pulpy mystery with one seriously spy-fi conceit at its centre. And I dig that. It also helps the art in [...]

Eclecticism – It’s starting to get cold in the mornings when I wake at 5am to write. Yikes, that’s scary. Though also kind of comforting. Eclectic Link – The Weekly Crisis for solid comic reviews, news, commentary, and what have you. Eclectic Purchase – American Vampire #12 – A new arc, new quality, golden. I [...]

I’ve raved plenty about Proof on here, haven’t I? if not, it’s a great comic, there’s 5 trades to catch up on. Go one at a time. I am in the middle of the latest mini and still loving it. It’s about Bigfoot in a suit tracking and trashing other cryptids. Golden. Hit the link [...]

IDW is relaunching a Godzilla title and to stir up some interest they’ve offered a variant that runs them 80 different choices. On the cover, Godzilla crushes some comic book stores. I guess stores were notified and had the option of being part of the fun so you get a pretty good representation of the [...]
