 JAY GARRICK THE FLASH #6     DC COMICS Like the rest of this series, this final issue is heartwarming and highlights Jay Garrick’s place in the DC Universe. He was the father figure to everyone. Whether it was Barry Allen, Wally West, Bart Allen, the legacy heroes of the JSA, he was Dad. So, giving … Read more

 FAIRY TALE TEAM-UP ROBYN HOOD & GRETEL #1  I have always been a fan of team-up comics. Brave & the Bold, DC Comics Presents, Marvel Two In One, etc. Because back in the day, the idea of a shared universe was not as prevalent as it is now. So characters popping up in each others … Read more

 REDCOAT #1     IMAGE COMICS Ah, a character after my own heart! An immortal scoundral with a flare for the dramitic. And with his birth parents being Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, you know he’s worth it. And there is a certain pride knowing that he is part of the fully shared creator-owned Ghost Machine. … Read more

X-MEN ’97     MARVEL COMICS Well, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprized that Marvel’s newest animated show on streaming is now a comic. But for once, I have to give Marvel some credit. Recreating the classic X-Men cartoon of the 1990’s was bound to attract the nostagia hounds. Writer Steve Foxe could have worked … Read more

 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #9     DC COMICS Well, it’s about time! I actually had to go down in the archieves to find issue #8 and reread it to refresh my memory. But now that I have, I have to say that I am glad that Geoff Johns is continuing on the path of the … Read more

BIRDS OF PREY #7     DC COMICS With the big Amazon crossover completed in the manitory 6 issue arc that will fit perfectly into a collected work, we more on to a new mission and a new team. But it’s not so much a new team but rather the old team swapping out Harley Quinn … Read more

 JAY GARRICK: THE FLASH #5     DC COMICS I really wonder if DC realizes what a good creative team they have here. Jeremy Adams story continues to move along at a good pace without losing the readers. Diego Olortegui does a great job illustrating all those super-speed moves. And it goes without saying that you … Read more

 ELVIRA MEETS HP LOVECRAFT #1     DYNAMITE  While I will never not love an Elvira book, you’re talking to a guy who owns the full Claypool run (including the two trade collections!), I have to admit that Dynamite’s mini-series are getting a bit predictable. Elvira traversing the multiverse with some special guest trying to save … Read more

 DRACULA AFTER MAN #1     AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY Well this one is an intriguing mishmash of concepts which might actually work. After surviving for generations, Dracula and a few vampire associates realize that the end of the human race is upon them and fashions a bunker to survive in suspended animation. Unfortunately, the status chambers breakdown … Read more
