Tease Me, Baby – Man of Steel

Tease Me, Baby – Man of Steel

When it comes to this article, me and Aaron often nip off to the STRATUS hangars to duke it out with “borrowed” mecha until one is left a smoking pile of parts and the other, the victor. Or we call dibs, whichever we feel like on that day. Why is that relevant, you ask? Because we got a new Man of Steel trailer and you can guess where this bit is going… I called dibs. HA! … Read entire article »

A Week Late #19: Justice League Problems

A Week Late #19: Justice League Problems

Note: I wrote this about a month ago and because of scheduling problems (read: laziness) I never posted it. Issue 13 didn’t really change much about my feelings. They still treat Steve Trevor like crap, all of the characters are written strangely, if not poorly, and despite a fairly entertaining story, I find myself not caring at all about DC’s flagship title. After a year’s worth of books, (the zero issue doesn’t really count because … Read entire article »

Reviews of AQUAMAN VOL. 1: THE TRENCH and TEEN TITANS VOL. 1: IT’S OUR RIGHT TO FIGHT The New 52 marches on with the release of two new revamped series.

Jack of All Trades – At the Late Night Triple Feature Picture Show

Reviews of SWAMP THING VOL. 1: RAISE THEM BONES, RESURRECTION MAN VOL. 1: DEAD AGAIN, and THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS VOL. 1: SCIENCE BAD Science. Science and madness. Science and madness and monsters. All come into play in today’s line of books which include the revitalization of two languishing DC properties — a woe begotten creature from the bogs of Louisiana battling the forces of decay and ruin, and a man of many lives and many deaths … Read entire article »

A Week Late #18: Promethea

A Week Late #18: Promethea

A Week Late and a Few Dollar Short seems a bit of an understatement every time I post here. 16 articles in about 2 years, that’s unforgivable. No apologies. Never give up, never surrender, never accept blame when you can shoulder it onto the consequences of life. I have recently finished reading Promethea by Alan Moore published from 1999-2005, 32 issues over 5 trade paperbacks and I’m slightly in love with the story in a way … Read entire article »

Jack of All Trades – Reign of the Super-Men

Reviews of SUPERBOY VOL.1: INCUBATION and SUPERMAN – ACTION COMICS VOL. 1: SUPERMAN AND THE MEN OF STEEL The boys of steel take flight with the title that started it all, Action Comics, and the superhero that started it all, Superman. Along for the ride we have Superboy, Superman’s half-Kryptonian, half-human clone, created as a weapon for a clandestine organization bent on…well, something nefarious, surely. Superboy Vol. 1: Incubation For every positive I can name about this book, … Read entire article »
