POWER GIRL #1     DC COMICS Well, the Dawn of DC is proving to be a bit of a hit or miss deal. Unfortunately, Power Girl’s new title is falling a bit short. While the original concept of an Earth 2 Supergirl has fallen by the wayside, the constant revamping of the character has left … Read more

 WONDER WOMAN #1     DC COMICS Well. Here we go again. Just hit issue #800 and so we gotta take a vacation for a month or two and come back with an all new #1 issue. Hate to say this gang but we’ve all been through this rodeo before. It’s such an old sales gimmick … Read more

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #1     MARVEL COMICS With October right around the corner, Marvel has come up with some titles and one-shots to reintroduce us to their monster sub-universe. With a new version of the Crypt of Shadows title coming up, they tossed us a quick sneak peek with a new installment of the old … Read more

 BIRDS OF PREY #1     DC COMICS I always look forward to a new Birds of Prey title and with a Green Arrow loving Black Canary at the helm, I thought things might be turning in the right direction. But honestly, I’m a bit torn on this one. I was the biggest fan of the … Read more

 BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #4     DC COMICS  Well, it was bound to happen. Batman the Brave and the Bold has finally tipped the scales with more Batman than Brave or Bold. Oh, we still have some Stormwatch and an Amanda Waller/Emilia Harcourt story but that’s much of a team up book. And … Read more

 GODZILLA WAR FOR HUMANITY #1     IDW COMICS Writer Andrew Maclean knows what Godzilla fans want and gives it to us. And while I am not a huge fan of Jake Smith’s art, he does give us shot on versions of our favorite kaiju. From Hedorah the Smog Monster to Manda to Minya (YES! I … Read more

 WORLD’S FINEST: TEEN TITANS #2     DC COMICS Mark Waid and Emanuela Lupacchino prove that the first issue was not a fluke! Revisiting those weirdie stories from the early 1970’s before the original Teen Titans title took that 4 year hiatus. Even Chris Samnee and Matheus Lopes’s cover takes some inspiration for issue #34. The … Read more

 DOCTOR WHO DOOM’S DAY #2     TITAN COMICS Doom’s Day is an entertaining story that seems to have been published a bit too late. Jody Houser’s tale of a smart aleck deadly assassin searching for the Doctor and finding the Master’s Missy incarnation instead. And to make matters more interesting, this is during the time … Read more

 BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #3     DC COMICS While having some interesting tales here, I can’t say that I’m overly enthused with this title. And while the Superman/ Hop Harrigan story made my little Golden Age face smile, it ended way too soon and with very little hoopla. The introduction of the villainous … Read more

 HAWKGIRL #1     DC COMICS Jadzia Axelrod’s story is intreging and Amancay Nahuelpan’s art is incredibly detailed. What I am worried about is where this mini-series is going. The saga of Hawkman and Hawkgirl has been going on for decades. And with each new interpretation, the hit or miss aspect seems to grow. And somewhere … Read more
