Daredevil, Batwoman, and Moon Knight are the top new comic books that I’ve been recommending to new readers lately. People who haven’t read comic books in years are looking to get back into reading them, and while they want something they can jump into without any continuity problems, they aren’t exactly looking for a paint-by-numbers either.
My Twelve Favorite DC #1s From the First Two Weeks
With the second half of DC’s first month of releases about to start, I thought I’d take a moment to list my twelve favorite DC #1′s from the first two weeks of September (I already reviewed Justice League #1, so I’m not counting that – just the September books). This is not to say that [...]
2011 Top Marvel Characters #11-10
After nearly 1,400 ballots were cast, YOU the reader ranked your favorite comic book characters of all-time from 1-10. I assigned point totals to each ranking and then tabulated it all into a Top 50 list. We’re now revealing that list throughout September. Here is the master list of all the characters revealed so far. [...]
Silver Age September – Today Earth Died!
After a month of spotlighting the strange (if endearingly strange) history of comic books (and especially the Silver Age), I think it is worthwhile to show the comic books of the Silver Age that are simply great stories period. Here is an archive of all the Silver Age comics features so far! Today we look [...]
Random Thoughts! (September 20, 2011)
Random Thought! If it’s a light week, it’s only because I spent too much time this morning watching Weird Al videos on Youtube. It’s Random Thoughts time! Get excited!
Lettering a comic – a guest article!
A while back I reviewed the first five issues of Terrance Zdunich’s self-published comic, The Molting, which is a pretty cool horror comic (Zdunich was nice enough to send me the sixth issue, too, but I haven’t reviewed it yet). Zdunich thought I might like to get some perspective on the way the comic is [...]

Review time! with The Homeland Directive
This book answers the age-old question: Can you do anything worthwhile with a hoary cliché as your central plot?
She Has No Head! – The Comics Project!
Hey kids. So, She Has No Head! is back, and back with a bang if I do say so myself (which, apparently, I do). Back when news of the “New DCU 52″ dropped so many moons ago (or, y’know, June) I wrote a post about my initial reactions to Flashpoint and the proposed “New DCU [...]
