Let me start this off by saying how excited I am to read this. This concept is so brilliant that I can see a movie adaption in the very near future. Not only is the concept truly unique, but the intertwining love story is just icing on the cake. It is hard to find a worthy love story in comics these days, but I think Image has really got something great on their...
Top Cow is pumping out new comics left and right these days! As most of you know, at ECCC Top Cow revealed to the world their newest project in the works: Sunset. It’s a story about an ex-enforcer getting some of that old fashioned revenge. Other than that, we don’t have a lot to go on. We know the mob is involved, we know that our hero Nick Bellamy...

In the final chapter of the three-issue arc of B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: The Long Death from Dark Horse Comics, there’s so much more going on than just a tooth-and-claw knockdown, drag-out fight between the jaguar god and the Wendigo. There’s the inner battle for one’s soul and the persistent questions about one’s purpose in life and if there is an...
Have I mentioned how stoked I am for the return of Valiant Comics? Well in case you couldn’t tell, I am pretty darned stoked! Valiant was my first experience with comics outside of the Big Two. Their narrative-driven, real world approach to storytelling, coupled with their sharp attention to continuity, appealed to my nerdy sensibilities in a way I...

I’ll be kicking this column off with a book that I feel is all of these things: Powers. Powers is a creator...
The Mighty Thor tasked with stopping the Phoenix Force? Yeah, good luck with that, Odinson. There are just so many questions I have at this point, after seeing the preview images. I would have to admit that the Asgardian is probably one of the only Avengers that even stands a remote chance of winning. Well, maybe not winning, maybe more along the lines of...
