At first, I thought the concept of Revolution, the five-issue miniseries recently concluded from IDW Publishing, was a little hokey. The idea was to join a number of comic book properties that began mostly as toy lines in the 1980s (owned with Hasbro) and bring them together in a shared universe. IDW’s Revolution brings together Transformers, […]

No. Not in the Merlin sense, anyway. He thinks he is. I’m not convinced. Truth be told, I am and have always been a huge fan of Grant Morrison. He’s not without his issues, sure, and he’s had as many misses as he’s had hits, but I’ve been wowed by pretty much all I’ve read. […]

Chew has finally ended after around half a decade in print. Spanning 60 issues, one crossover, and three standalone specials, the cult favorite detective comic from writer John Layman and Rob Guillory was laid to rest, rather fortuitously, the day before Thanksgiving.

Tom King’s The Vision is probably one of the best books Marvel has put out in over a decade. Better than most of the things the Big Two has put out. Even stands up to most comics in general. It’s a really awesome take on an otherwise underutilized character. I’ve written more on it if […]
Vertigo Comics has published some amazing series. For much of the 1990s and 2000s, Vertigo was publishing the most complex and deftly written comics. Consequently, many of their series have already been adapted into live action. Even beyond movies, Preacher and iZombie are two recent Vertigo series to be made into TV shows, joining Constantine (the […]
Yeesh. You guys. It’s getting pretty heated out there. Let’s put politics aside, I’m not going to touch that hornet’s nest. Instead, I thought I could try to make us all feel a little better. I don’t know about you, but nothing makes me feel better than looking at examples of things in a worse […]
