Batman #20 marks the end of “Nowhere Man”, the two-part Batman story featuring Clayface. To his credit, writer Scott Snyder has either cultivated new characters and/or reinvigorated old characters throughout his duration on Batman (including his stint on Detective Comics prior to the New 52). This approach has served him well. This is perhaps the [...]
J. Michael Straczynski joins forces with Ben Templesmith on this brand new series. And as indicated by this first issue, it is bound to be a good one. Straczynski’s Joe’s Comics and Image present Ten Grand, an occult-infused, noir narrative. This character-driven narrative solidifies emotion as a hallmark of Straczynski’s writing through the lens of [...]
The BEFORE WATCHMEN event finally reaches its finale. And it’s a fantastic one. This week, the much-delayed BEFORE WATCHMEN: COMEDIAN #6 is available at your local comic book shop and is worth reading if you have followed the series. The conclusion of this book is proof-positive that writer Brian Azzarello and artist J.G. Jones had [...]
Nightwing has landed and found his footing in a new city. And by virtue of writer Kyle Higgins refocusing on the core of Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and artist Brett Booth joining the fray to tell the next chapter of Dick Grayson’s storied legacy, there is a new energy and reason to share in Dick Grayson’s [...]
Batman and Red Robin #19 hits the mark! Besides the buzz behind Carrie Kelley’s introduction into The New 52 and the supposed role Tim Drake was to play in this month’s issue, by virtue of the title and current Batman and… story arc, this book fully delivers on its potential. Not, because of Red [...]
This week Marvel releases THANOS RISING #1, a new mini-series set on delving deeper in Thanos’ origin.

There is a new book on the shelves. It’s by Jonathan Hickman. Got your attention now? Good, because you’re going to want to pick this title up and not miss out on the ambitious adventure Hickman and artist Nick Dragotta are spinning your way. EAST OF WEST has the potential to be a new break-out-title [...]
It is a shame that Grant Morrison’s run on Action Comics has come to an end. His nineteen issue (Zero Month included) run honored its namesake in such ambitious fashion that it should shame past writers by sheer scope and scale. This grand adventure is one worthy of the Man of Steel. Critics who say [...]
This week marks the finale of the six-issue mini-series, BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS. And for critics, yes, the story ends at the point where the original began, but that doesn’t matter. Great stories are about character journey and that is what writer Len Wein gave us. More so than in the original text, here we [...]
BEFORE WATCHMAN: RORSCHACH has come to a satisfying conclusion. There is little doubt that writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo are not upper-echelon crime fiction collaborators, but without a doubt they are perhaps the best writer/artist/character pairing throughout the prequel event. Azzarello continuously displayed his ability to weave gritty yarns that stay with you [...]
