It pleases me greatly, Comic Booked readers, to bring you our latest recommendation: Johnny The Homicidal Maniac! This book has had the biggest impact on my life, changing my outlook on comic books and humor alike. Before reading this I wasn’t aware that there were companies other than Marvel and DC. I didn’t know about indie comics and the freedom...
Deep within my collection there are books long forgotten, either by chance or by choice. It Came From The Longbox is where some of these books will find a new life, if only for a single review. So, let’s dive in and check out a book that shows that New Jersey, once upon a time, had more realistic and respectable characters around. At least until people...
That’s right, by this time next week, Flashpoint will have concluded and we will all be discovering the continuity of the New 52. Are you prepared? Here begins the final installment of this series, in which we examine the various Flashpoint tie-ins, the last four issues of which were released this past week. I have to admit, they did a surprisingly good...
This is it! This is the final week for the current DCU before the big reboot next week, so we will offer a few of the final issues of the Old DCU before we enter the New Universe of DC. BATMAN INCORPORATED #8 (DC): Final Issue! If anyone else had written this issue, I probably wouldn’t have given it a second glance. However, it isn’t anyone else....
As Batman contemplates his next move, he and Dawn Golden are savagely attacked by a large group of red-eyed demons. There are too many for him to fight on his own and he is quickly overpowered. The demons take Dawn and leave Batman unconscious. When he awakens, he’s suddenly attacked by Etrigan, who is being controlled by Lady Blaze. As they...
This issue opens on two awesome double page spreads of the Inhumans invading the High Evolutionary’s Forever City. Steve Epting’s art here is staggeringly good. Black Bolt, and his floating kingdom of Attillan, storm the Forever City in a burst of Kirby dots. These double page spreads show the beginning of a war between Kirby armies that had me...
I didn’t have high expectations for what looked like the TRON issue of Batman Inc. For some reason, the idea came across like a forced attempt to jam Batman into a digital world where he doesn’t belong. However, I was completely blown away by this issue. What I thought would be a cheesy cashing in on the recent TRON sequel turned out to be one...
My favorite week of the month is the week the new Fables issue comes out. Very soon this joy will be doubled with the beginning of Fairest, the recently announced spin-off series! This week we have a Fables review, art from Fairest #1 and a rather sad update on the Werewolves Of The Heartland HC! FABLES #108 Written by: Bill Willingham Art by Marl Buckingham...

In the future, Brainiac has spread through the universe like a plague, destroying world after world. Lex Luthor has killed...
Remember, Remember, the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. A rallying call for the disenfranchised of Great Britain to join in arms and take back their country! V For Vendetta is a landmark series from one of the best writers in comic books, Alan Moore, with artwork by David...
If you haven’t read this issue I have to warn you there are spoilers here. I purposely wait this long to review these issues in the hopes that more people have read it and can talk about it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe The Walking Dead is now the longest running zombie comic in the history of the industry. Here we are with Issue #88,...
Spider-Island continues this week with two new stories! Let’s just jump into it and see if the story has lost any momentum! If you missed last week’s releases check out coverage of them right HERE SPIDER-ISLAND: SPIDER-GIRL #1 of 3: Writer Paul Tobin teams with artist Pepe Larraz bring Spider-Girl into the fray as the Spider-Infection spreads and her...
This issue brings the current volume of JLA to a close. Next month the new DC Universe starts and a whole new Justice League team takes over. Although this issue was another less than stellar ending of one of DC’s flagship titles, it was a truly satisfiying end of the series. Congratulations go out to the creative team of James Robinson, Daniel...
Hey, check it out! We’re at twenty five Bullet Reviews and still going strong! I wonder if we should reboot these from #1 so new Comic Bookers won’t feel like they need to go back and read the first twenty four to get an understanding of what these are? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist! Seriously, though, keep an eye out for some major coverage of the...
