She Has No Head! – Mission Accomplished?
An all-new She Has No Head! is up, kids. And I really like this one, so check it out.
I get to rave about the idea of Brian Wood’s upcoming X-Men title while bitching about everything that was wrong with Marvel Divas. Oh, Marvel, how far you’ve come! I feel like a proud parent!

CBR Reviews – 1/16/13
I got to review some damn good comics this past week for CBR, check them out! It’s also worth nothing that while you all know I’m a huge sucker for a great cover, I really dislike the cover to Avengers Assemble #11 (not my cuppa, at all!) and yet a great and GORGEOUS book lurks inside. A good reminder to us all that covers don’t always give the best impression!
“Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s “Death of the Family” has gone a long way toward establishing Snyder as a believer in the i...

10 Comics to Read in 2013
Sorry for the absence, kids. I’ve been down with the monster flu that’s been devouring the east coast. While I was down however, a new 3 Chicks Review Comics went up, which included our Best and Worsts of 2012 as well as an interview with Batman writer Scott Snyder. Also, my piece about “10 Comics to Read in 2013″ went up on Lit Reactor. You can read that piece here.
All that said, if the official announcement had been out on Brian Wood and Oliver Coipel’s all ladies “X-Men” debuting in April...

CBR Reviews – 1/2/13
As I said last week I’m going to try to get back to doing a better job of cross-posting my content across the web here, so here are the reviews I did for CBR this week, enjoy!
ALL-NEW X-MEN #5
“Against all odds, in large part due to the A-list creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen, the very weird idea at the center of the “All-New X-Men” series is working like gangbusters five issues in. This issue, as the cover suggests, spends a lot of time with young Jean Grey as she deals...
More TGWWBK Fan Art! Lola LeFever
Got another great piece for the THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING Fan Art page, this one from The Literary Bandit of Lola LeFever, and it comes with this lovely comment about Lola:
“I have a soft spot for a well done super villain. Lola, here, is the best I’ve come across in years.”
That makes me grin like you have no idea. I too believe a “hero” is only as good as their “villain” and though I try not to put Lola in the “villain” box, it’s obvious that she checks a lot of those boxes (sometimes with g...
