I can’t recommend The Cape enough to you. This comic is so fantastically nasty and brilliantly made. This is a comic like the kid inside me always wanted. Horrific but smart. It’s a four issue mini so if you don’t want to catch up now I hope the trade is dropping soon. You need to [...]

I like making New Years resolutions. I’m not sure I always stick to them but they’re fun to think of because it’s a time to truly put yourself before the microscope and be honest in what you want to succeed in the coming year. Which is often tantamount to admitting what you felt failed in [...]

Incorruptible, and Irredeemable, just keep on keeping on and I’m totally happy with that. This issue drops some Max Damage origin shenanigans and I liked the structure of the narrative. They get through a lot quickly and keep me caring the whole time. The art is also pretty damn fine. Incorruptible #25 review on CBR [...]

Here’s a brief look over the year that was. Best Book Fun & Games – Duane Swierczynski I read this book within days of buying it. It helped I was on holiday, with a bit more time on my hands, but be damned if this thing didn’t rock my socks off. Swierczynski is a household [...]

I wish this was a double bill with the new Frankenstein comic at a local drive in. I’d be there every weekend. It’s been a very good comic and I’m hoping it finishes with a bang in issue #4. Or is it running to #5? The cover and the solicits don’t seem to match… Legion [...]

Wow, following up on the magnificent ‘Dark Angel Saga’ conclusion the very next week. Bold. And successful. Uncanny X-Force #19 review on CBR by Ryan K Lindsay I gave it 4 stars because, ““Uncanny X-Force” is suddenly a mess of random jigsaw puzzle pieces. They won’t ever truly fit together for standard coherence, but the [...]

I’m actually losing steam on this Venom relaunch. I don’t know if it’s that I just don’t care about Flash Thompson, or if it’s the rotating art team, or the fact I like this comic a little and don’t love it a lot. I don’t know if I have time/money for comics I only kind [...]

It’s the end of the year so I had to wrap up with my thoughts on the best books of this year. There were plenty to choose from and the Top 10 were actually quite a hard pick. I finally did a list, and I’m happy with it, so hit the link: The Top 10 [...]

Jim Henson is pretty crazy. Crazy smart, too. We all always knew this, we suckled at the Muppet teat in our formative years, and yet this graphic novel, which presents (for the first time) Henson and Jerry Juhl’s unmade script that’s pure insanity, will only make you know the truth that little bit more. Does [...]

Goddamn, this movie is wickedly smart. Clooney has put together an ode to the 70s political thriller. This flick is as sharp as the knives that stab backs every day. Especially in politics. As far as political thrillers go, this one is a grainy shot noir with far too much daylight and just the right [...]
