If you frequent this site, I'll assume you read other comic sites. So, chances are you have heard of The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and how the title was dropped by Wildstorm/DC after six issues and is now being published by Dynamite Entertainment. Story goes, DC was not pleased with some of the content in the series and decided to let it go. Well, I never read the series when it was ...

Our "split" review of Spider-Man 3 worked so well, I thought that we could do it again. This time we will tackle 28 Weeks Later from Fox Atomic. First up we have a review by Shawn Mayo then a second by Chris Dooley. Read on then give us your comments. We really want to know what you thought. 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 28 Days Later opens today. In the original, the population of England gets ...

Ok, I need to preface this review by saying I don't read a lot of indie stuff. I tend to stick with Marvel, DC and a few things here and there from Vertigo, Image and Dark Horse. I probably gravitate towards the Big Two simply because these are the characters I read growing up, so there is a lifelong attachment to them. Channeling Simon Cowell for a minute, if I'm going to be honest, I find many ...

Nova #1 Writer: Dan Abnett Artists: Sean Chen & Scott Hanna Publisher: Marvel Seeing as how I wrote a post a few weeks ago touting the return of Nova in his own series, I figured it was only fair that I read and review it. So, after work yesterday I made a trip to the local comic shop and picked it up along with my usual pull list. Unfortunately, reading and reviewing comics isn't my day job, ...

Last time out, I listed all of the Batman cartoons produced over the years. This time, I take a look at Spider-Man cartoons - and there have been a few. Once again, doing extensive research into the subject (ten minutes this time instead of five at wiki.com) I came up with the following list: Spider-Man (1967) Spider-Woman (1979) (technically not a Spider-MAN cartoon but he did appear in ...

I finally finished watching the Season 1 DVD for Justice League Unlimited the other day (yea, I know, I'm a bit behind). When I was done, I thought about a Top 5 list of my favorite cartoons based on, or inspired by, comics. Not original, sure, but hey, it's my list so I figured, what the heck. When I started thinking of my favorites, I realized Batman was in three of my Top 5 and he would have ...

Blue Blazes! (Sorry, couldn't resist) Nova's back and once again front and center in his own book. In the aftermath of the Annihilation saga, Nova will be starring in his own on-going series beginning in April. I'm approaching this news with cautious excitement. See, Nova has always been a sentimental favorite of mine. It all began with The Man Called Nova #19 from the original 70's series. I was ...

Looking around my home office it occurred to me how my reading habits have changed over the years. The list of monthly titles I read is much smaller now than before but the bookcase that houses my trades and graphic novels is almost filled. My weekly pull list is about half what it used to be but I'm spending roughly the same, if not a bit more, each month. Thinking it over, I realized my habits ...

Seeing this new site going up devoted to all things comics got me thinking - what's a good way to introduce someone to the medium? I'm not talking about bringing in younger readers (I'll cover that another time) but how to get someone interested in reading comics? I'm not the first to ask, but many of the answers I've seen usually don't address what I feel is the crux of the question. The stock ...
