Month of Art Stars: Artist’s Choice – Edvin Biukovic
Every day in June I featured the work of a great artist, only instead of me picking the artist to feature, they were picked by their peers, fellow professional comic book artists who are picking out artists (from the past and present) who they think deserve special attention. Do note that most artists I asked [...]
Captain America: Reborn #1 Review
While I would have preferred that Captain America: Reborn #1 be part of the regular Captain America series (especially the odd few months while it will be running concurrently with the regular Captain America book), that’s an extremely minor complaint. Captain America: Reborn #1 is a good comic book, and that’s the most important thing.
Box of Comics: June 2009
And lo, the first round of cuts to my pull list hits, as I try to wean myself off single issues and into trade paperbacks. What did I decide to keep buying in singles? Join me under the jump for the stuff I bought that’s worth typing about: robots, space horses, vampires, more vampires, and [...]

Kotaku passes along comments from the developers of the new Tony Hawk skateboard game*, which will come with a skateboard shaped motion control. In it, he mentions two possible Marvel games the board could be compatible with. Only one makes a lick of sense to me. I’ll let you guess which by reading the quote**: [...]
What I bought – 1 July 2009
Man, I love the new blog format! Although I guess only Brad and I are MAN enough to use the tags. Come on, my fellow bloggers, tag it up!
Batman and Robin #2 Review
I liked the first issue of Batman and Robin a lot, but the second issue is even better, on both the writing and the art side of things, which makes for a great comic book.

Week of NBM Reviews – Dungeon: Zenith Vol. 3
My week-long look at NBM titles continues with the latest English translation of the popular Dungeon (in French, Donjon) series of titles. Dungeon is the expansive Dungeons and Dragons satire that French comic creators Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim started in 1998. Similar to George Lucas’ idea of having Star Wars stories set in the [...]

A Fortnight’s Worth Of Reviews

Two weeks worth of comics that are better than what Megan Fox reads. I think I’ll go to San Diego and shove them in her face whilst laughing at her inferior taste, making her cry in a pile of money and rich guys as a result. Oh yeah, I should probably tease the reviews. I’m [...]
