Comics Picks For 24.12.2014

The last week of 2014 and I hit my Magic 40 number. That pleases me immensely. I was hoping I’d be able to make it to this number, and I did, especially with 2 graphic novels in the mix a well! For this final week of 2014, the surprise hits were: Jungle Book: Fall Of The […]

He-Man: The Eternity War #1 (Comics Review)

When DC relaunched the He-Man franchise back in 2012, I rejoiced. I grew up watching the cartoons, specifically the classic and awesome Filmation stuff, and I used to collect the action figures as well, so I have a long association with the franchise. The reboot, so to speak, was certainly quite an interesting thing, and […]

Catwoman Annual #2 (Comics Review)

Selina Kyle’s world has changed greatly of late. She has given up her identity as Catwoman and embraced that of Selina Kyle-Calabrese, the daughter of one of the most feared and respected of Gotham’s old mob bosses, Rex Calabrese, who now languishes in Blackgate Prison. And along the way, with a new creative team behind […]

Tomb Raider #11 (Comics Review)

Dark Horse’s Tomb Raider has undoubtedly been a great series since its debut earlier this year. Under the pen of Gail Simone and the pencils of Nicolás Daniel Selma, the series has thrived as it went on, and recently, with Rhianna Pratchett joining Gail, we’ve seen some more fun stories come to the fore, though […]

Vol’jin: Shadows of the Horde by Michael A. Stackpole (Book Review)

Mists of Pandaria is the World of WarCraft expansion prior to the current one, Warlords of Draenor, and is one that I’ve played for only a very, very small while. About a year and a half back or so I got some free-time from Blizzard and was allowed to play one level up so that […]

Justice League Dark #37 (Comics Review)

The current arc of Justice League Dark has seen the team split up into different sub-teams, and each sub-team has been fighting off a different threat. Zatanna had to face reunion with her father in a rather roundabout way, while Frankenstein, Bennett, Swamp Thing and Asa have confronted a dark, future version of Felix Faust who […]

Secret Avengers #11 (Comics Review)

Under Maria Hill’s leadership, the Secret Avengers have been through a lot. Many of them have undergone some sort of a crisis of faith, while others have continued to do their duty to the best of their abilities, though their actions haven’t always borne fruit, and they’ve been faced on all sides by deception and betrayal […]

Grayson Annual #1 (Comics Review)

I can say without any reservations that Grayson has been one of the best books that have come out this year. It might not be the most consistent of the bunch , but that hardly matters when you have characters as great Dick Grayson and Helena Bertinelli involved here. And by throwing them together in a […]

Inhuman #10 (Comics Review)

The recent Avengers & X-Men: AXIS event has ended up changing things for a lot of heroes and villains alike. Their personalities have essentially been inverted in that the heroes have gotten megalomaniacal and ruthless while the villains have become more aware of the wrongs they’ve done and of their social responsibilities even. Where that comes […]
