Scott Snyder is still a great writer. Just in case you were still wondering and/or unsure. I was pumped for his Detective Comics run and while it’s been good this issue is the moment we finally see greatness. It’s a Jim Gordon-centric issue and it’s also an origin tale for James Gordon Jr. And it’s [...]

Alright, here’s a long one. Scorsese is a king of cinema, probably my favourite of the movie brats, and he’s been chugging along for a while now. Let’s see how I think his stuff stacks up. As always, the list is mine, and probably only mine, feel free to tell me yours with comments or [...]

Eclecticism – I could shop in old book stores and fair for the rest of my days. Golden. Eclectic Purchase – Detective Comics #875 – The last issue wasn’t the best, might have been the worst. But this one sounds good. Eclectic Link – The Weekly Crisis for solid comic reviews, news, commentary, and what [...]

Green Wake is a comic that launches next week and it is my favourite thing in the world right now. It’s about a town, Green Wake, where the inhabitants don’t know how they got there and they can’t leave. It’s a spooky enough premise but then murders start occurring and Morley Mack gets on the [...]

This series has been fun, but Pokerface can only get me so far, I have to admit. It’s certainly not a bad comic, but it’s lacking anything that would make it stand out in a few months time. Seriously, Pokerface, it wants to be Morrison but it just isn’t. It’s silly, bordering on stupid. A [...]

Man, Batroc is just one of those guys. You probably wouldn’t buy an ongoing of his, or even a mini, and no one will admit they love him, but I love him. Maybe it’s because he was in some early Iron Fist…I don’t know what it is but the guy works for me. He works [...]

I like my horror movies, even the video nasties, and I love Clive Barker’s work. Obviously, having him come back to co-write the Hellraiser relaunch was a big draw for me. I don’t mind Hellraiser, Barker has many other better properties, but Hellraiser is fun. Less and less fun the more sequels we get but [...]

I picked this comic up for a few reasons. It’s a one-shot, so no commitment. It’s Brian Clevinger, so it’ll be funny. It’s Juan Doe, so it will look pretty. As soon as you see Goom you know it’s all coming together. This book is fun. The Namor panel also is my moment of the [...]
