So it’s come to this….a bad issue of Ed Brubaker’s Daredevil. Ah well, I guess the streak couldn’t last forever, but it’s really too bad, because I thought Brubaker was doing such a great job on this title, so to see him hit such a glaring pot hole, it is pretty disappointing. Why couldn’t this […]
Wonderlust #1 - Review

In Wonderlust #1, a one-shot from Image Comics, C.B. Cebulski writes a series of short vignettes from his life, without really tying together, except to give an almost impressionistic look at Cebulski’s life. The stories are not completely structureless, though, as they are all about Cebulski’s life in high school and college, and they all […]
Noble Causes #26 Review

When I was going to the Image Comics website to get the cover for this issue to post, I came across a very disappointing piece of info. “Featuring stunning artwork by guest artist TIM KANE!” I do not know if I would describe Kane’s work as “stunning,” but it was certainly a significant improvement over […]
True Story Swear to God #3 Review

The excellence of the second issue of Image’s True Story Swear to God really made the relatively lacking first issue stand out even more as an extremely odd choice to have as the first issue of the Image series, because, unlike the second issue (and this week’s #3), it really did not capture the heart […]
X-Factor #16 Review

Something that stands out to me, reading X-Factor, is how well colorist Brian Reber has stepped into the shoes of José Villarrubia. Villarrubia was a very important part of the initial look of X-Factor (although I do not blame him for stupid huge wolf head Rahne), and for Reber to take over without any real […]
Wolverine #50 Review

While I am not a fan of his work, one thing that stands out as a highlight with Jeph Loeb’s work is his ability to write to the strengths of his artists. This is most likely why so many popular artists enjoy working with him - he appears to tailor his work to their artistic […]
