  I’ve been away from this blog for a long while now and the rants have been building up. I hope to post often in the next few weeks.
• Review and Synopsis: Superman: World of New Krypton
  on Mar 6, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Alura Greg Rucka James Robinson New Krypton Pete Woods Superman Zod
  Loser of the Week After an exciting year of Superman, the most exciting thing DC could come up with was…an absence of Superman? Superman will be spending the foreseeable future on New Krypton.  Apparently he wants to be with his people.  He&#...
• Review and Synopsis: Secret Six #7
  on Mar 6, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Bane Deadshot Gail Simone Gotham City Nicola Scott Scandal
  I really thought Gail Simone went off the deep end last issue.  I fell for the ending completely.  I can’t help but feel a little ripped off this issue. I know I know I really shouldn’t have expected the mayhem of last issue to have any...
• Review and Synopsis: War of Kings #1
  on Mar 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Andy Lanning Dan Abnett Gladiator Imperial Guard Inhumans Paul Pelletier Ronan the Accuser Starjammers Vulcan
  Does anyone else think it’s weird to see a Ron Lim cover with no Silver Surfer? After who knows how many PRE series tie-ins, the War of Kings is officially on.  Sadly, it’s not looking good.  It all seems so contrived and after months o...
• Review and Synopsis: Daredevil #116
  on Mar 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Daredevil David Aja Ed Brubaker Kingpin Lady Bullseye Pick of the Week Return of the King Wilson Fisk
  Ah Brubaker, how I wish they’d replace Bendis with you on all his titles… This issue is an excellent example of how a story-arc should start.  I’m dying to read the next issue (and that cover at the back for issue #117 gave me chil...
• Review and Synopsis: Agents of Atlas #2
  on Mar 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Agents of Atlas Carlo Pagulayan Dark Reign Gabriel Hardman Jeff Parker
  I had really high expectations for this series and so far I’m not getting my geek high.  So little happens in this issue that I’m feeling a little ripped off.  The back-up story is no longer, er, in the back.  It’s been integrate...
• Prepping my Wife to See the Watchmen Movie
  on Mar 2, 2009 in Comic Book Culture Alan Moore girlfriend non-fanboy spouse synopsis Watchmen Watchmen movie Zack Snyder
  Like every other fanboy out there, this Friday is a big day for me.  Ever since I saw the trailer early last year I’ve been dying/drooling/waiting-with-bated-breath to see the Watchmen film.  I nearly had a heart attack with the whole legal/r...
• Bonus Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #22
  on Feb 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Buffy Georges Jeanty Joss Whedon Kennedy Satsu Season 8 Steven S. DeKnight
  Written by Steven S. DeKnight; Art by Georges Jeanty I told myself I’d do 5 reviews a week, but I just had to include this one because I really liked it and some critics out there did not. Review: At first glance this issue really doesn’t...
• Review and Synopsis: The Immortal Iron Fist #22
  on Feb 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Ch'i-Lin Danny Rand Duane Swierczynski Iron Fist K'un-Lun the Immortal Weapons Travel Foreman
  Written by Duane Swierczynski; Art by Travel Foreman Tough issue.  Tough on me and tough on all our heroes. Review: Can’t Iron Fist catch a break?  He and Daredevil should get some kind of prize for most beatings received.  Iron Fist and the...
• Review and Synopsis: Punisher #2
  on Feb 5, 2009 in Comic Book Reviews Dark Reign Frank Castle Jerome Opena Punisher Rick Remender
  Written by Rick Remender; Art by Jerome Opena Finally, a Punisher series that is firmly in the Marvel universe and brings out the worst in Frank Castle! Review: This is the second series that I’m buying that is under the Dark Reign event.  I l...
