MIKE HAMMER #1     TITAN COMICS Could a book be more perfect?! I think not as legendary (big fan by the way) Max Allen Collins brings us a stunning tale created by the detective best friend Mickey Spillane! From page one, we start off fast and gritty. And the whole book continues without a break. Reading … Read more

PETER PARKER SPECTACULAR SPIDER MAN ANNAUL #1     MARVEL COMICS It’s good to know that Chip Zdarsky knows how to write a classic Spider-Man tale. Not to say this is some sort of flashback issue. Although, we do get a couple of glances back, this is well told story set in the current age of … Read more

FLASH #48     DC COMICS Good news for Wally West fans as Joshua Williamson’s story gets us away from the Zoom angle and reminds us of the good old days. Days when DC was allowing their heroes to grow up and more into the future with a certain grace. The images this issue bring up are … Read more

    AQUAMAN/JABBERJAW SPECIAL #1     DC COMICS I cringed as I read the listings that showed the latest batch of anamorphic crossovers with the DC and Hanna Barbera universes. But luckily in this one-shot, Dan Abnett not only provides a logical reason for the meeting but provides humor and an interesting cameo of a certain … Read more

The tale of Superman and Superson returning to save Captain Storm of the Losers from Dinosaur Island is definitely up my alley. The concept here would have made great two-parter in the DC Presents title back in the day. Unfortunately, … Read more

EXILES #3     MARVEL COMICS While we still play storyline catch up for the first few pages and then a reminder of the stakes if the Exiles fail, the title finally hits it own when we arrive in the universe of Peggy Carter Captain America. A short and sweet plot that ends in an intense and … Read more

CAPTAIN AMERICA #701     MARVEL COMICS A tale from the future, featuring the descendants of Steve Rogers. After a bit of an abrupt future/parallel universe Captain America tales finishes up last issue, you’d think Marvel would be wanting to clean up the mess and reestablish Cap in the present day. But this is apparently not the … Read more

MIGHTY THOR #706     MARVEL COMICS Do you hear that? That is the sound of a long time comic fan screaming! Here I was just praising Marvel for the honorable death of Jane Foster and *SPOILERS* they bring her back?! WTF?! For a brief moment we get an image of healthy cancer free Jane Foster preparing … Read more
