For the Love of Reviews

I’m still very far behind in my reading stack – almost a month behind in some spots – to the point that I’m seriously considering dropping a few titles and just picking up the trade so that I can keep up with some other titles. I tell you this to explain why none of the [...]

X-Men Messiah Complex – The Story So Far

You may remember my review of the Messiah CompleX one-shot, which was Chapter 1 of the Messiah CompleX crossover. It’s been a long time, but I’m going to try to catch up with the reviews now, but first I need to say a few things. First, I haven’t paid much attention to the X-Men in [...]

New Hulk #1 Preview Images – Where is Red Hulk?

Marvel has released new preview images from Hulk #1. First the images then my speculation: Okay, the solicitations and interviews regarding Hulk have stated that the initial arc will involve a mystery surrounding the murder of one of Hulk’s oldest cast members, the investigation being led my Doctor Leonard Sampson, and Hulk being the prime [...]

Marvel Releases Red Hulk Alternate Covers

Marvel has released two new alternate covers for the upcoming Hulk#1, both featuring the mysterious Red Hulk. The first, by new Marvel exclusive Daniel Acuna, I’m not too sure how I feel about : The second, by regular Hulk artist Ed McGuinness, I’m kinda in love with: Also, I still stand by my most recent [...]

Return of the Cracker: Now With Brainspew!

I have returned from my Thanksgiving feasting and I’m still working through my email and news backlog here, so I have nothing much to say at this point. It seems that most of the web is caught up with Marvel and DC’s attempts to shut down ZCultfm, and I may have something to say about [...]

Blame it on IRON MAN!!

Contrary to the slanderous disinformation spread by Tony Stark and perpetuated by the propagandists at Marvel and my well intentioned, but misguided friend The Mike Haynes from Panels of Awesome, Hulk is NOT to blame for the issues Marvel.com had on Tuesday, Nov. 13th. The perpetrator was actually Iron Man, who decided to crash Marvel’s [...]

Frank Cho Mighty Avengers SHOCKER!!!

Ok, first things first – you’re going to want to sit down for this. Are you sitting? Good. Here we go, then. Frank Cho has…. actually finished penciling Mighty Avengers #6. I know, I didn’t believe it, either. At this rate, if New Avengers does nothing but fill in issues, Mighty will catch up with [...]

World War Huh? (WWH Spoilers Within)

I’ve finished reading World War Hulk and… I’m really not sure how I feel about it. I mean, I guess there really wasn’t any other way to end it. It wouldn’t have made sense for Hulk to kill everyone, because Hulk is not a killer and, even if he was, there wouldn’t be any comics [...]

Marvel’s Digital Comics “Unlimited” is a Step in the Right Direction, But Not Quite Enough

For those who are living under a rock and/or haven’t been paying much attention to comics news lately, Marvel launched their Digital Comics “Unlimited” service today, offering unlimited access to Marvel’s back-library for $9.99 per month or $59.88 per year. This is definitely a step in the right direction for Marvel, but the journey’s not [...]

X-Men Messiah Complex – So Far, So… Far

I just finished reading the first issue of X-Men Messiah Complex and all I can really say is that it doesn’t completely suck so far. I’m going to try to reserve judgement, since we all know that I’ll end up reading the entire thing, anyway, but I have a few – admittedly small – issues [...]
