We’re 4 for 4 When it Comes to Secret Avengers Guessing!
- by Brian Cronin
- in General
- 25 Comments
I say “we” because it was commenter jazzbo who totally nailed that it was Valkyrie – but at least I agreed with him right away, even re-naming my “Who is the new Secret Avenger?” to “Valkyrie a Secret Avenger?” So we are 4 for 4! So now I just need the consensus pick to be [...]

The Light #1 Review!
I was going to do an advance review of Nathan Edmonson and Brett Weldele’s new horror series from Image Comics, The Light, but I think it is probably most helpful to get this to you on the day that you actually go to get your comic books. The Light #1 is a great opening to [...]
Committed: Marshal Law – The Most Underrated Book in Comics
In the 80′s a small handful of books changed comics. Marshal Law was one of them. It hasn’t been widely hailed as the seminal work of ground-breaking anti-superhero fiction, or a classic tale of the dangers of unquestioningly pandering to popular opinion, but this is exactly what it is.

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Spice & Wolf volume 1
I found the first volume of Yen Press’ Spice & Wolf to be an odd mixture of mundane economic treatise and extremely explicit fan service and as a whole not quite as engaging as the anime of the same name (both the manga and anime appear to be adapted from a light novel series also [...]

Iron Man 2 Embedded Trailer
This is a clever little thing – you watch the Iron Man 2 trailer, and then you can click on various characters from the movie to get more info and pictures about that character, and you can even then have it cut right to the part of the video featuring that character, like if you’re [...]
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Archers of the Golden Age
If you think that comic book archers begin with Green Arrow and the Arrow Family and end with Hawkeye, you were obviously not buying comics during the Golden Age. Perhaps inspired by the popularity of Errol Flynn’s role as Robin Hood in 1937, archery was a very popular gimmick for costume heroes from 1938 right [...]

Wonder of Wonders – Star-Spangled Panties: Separate But Unequal
by Carol A. Strickland Let us turn to the Book of Wondie. In the beginning, Wonder Woman was created as an Amazon. Back in the Forties her creator had an extremely limited pool of origin possibilities that would allow her to bound into the world as a feminist woman who could receive a fair bit [...]
Female Positivity In Spades At The Second Annual Drink & Draw Like A Lady Event
So it’s time to come clean, I’m totally a recluse lately (and by lately I mean the last two years – ish). It takes a herculean effort on my behalf to go out and I generally have to be motivated by an incredibly impressive event, film, get together, whatever in order to make that herculean [...]
