Every week there’s a new slew of graphic novels that come onto the scene. And there’s an argument to be made that the lifeblood of the comic book industry is still single issues. And that’s […]
There are a few truly American born art forms. This week two of them will cross paths with a collection of the celebrated French artist’s Blutch latest book, Total Jazz. Jazz, comic books, the musical […]

Written By Billy Rivera @accentlyrics The Sentinel of the Spaceways has gotten around quite a bit since 1966. I’ve only read a few Silver Surfer runs from throughout his 50-year tenure and even I am aware […]
The current of the flagship Bat Family title is reaching a new peak with every issue. There’s no question that a lot of fans were a bit uncertain through the first eight issues. The first […]
Rocket Girl Vol. 2 launches onto shelves this week. Will the timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly saga of DaYoung Johansson have a happy ending? Will the future be saved? Which future? And what qualifies as saved? The answers […]

Okay, I’m cheating. I admit this because I cannot lie to you, dear readers. The first part of Batman: The Dark Prince Charming came out last week. But I decided to write about Black Vol.1 instead […]
I cannot wait to read Black Vol. 1! This book began as a red hot Kickstarter project before Black Mask smartly picked up the series. The book has a fantastic premise, and while you might […]
This week a new edition of the biblically epic The Goddamned comes out and since I missed out on singing its praises the first time, I’m grateful to have a second chance to do so […]

All-Star Batman kicked off with a madcap road trip. Essentially it was a bit like the great Robert De Niro film Midnight Run, but with Batman escorting Two-Face to collect a bounty. And that bounty […]
He is Bane. And he broke the Bat once upon a time. Recently, the Bat and the Cat broke Bane. Now, Bane’s looking for a rematch. One of the greatest villains created in recent decades […]
