 GODZILLA BEST OF RODAN ONE-SHOT     IDW COMICS There can be no doubt that the stories presented here are indeed some of the best of Rodan. Whether he’s fighting Titanosaurus or rescueing it’s offspring from evil human, or even going toe to toe with Varan, this is some of IDW’s best Kaiju tales. But again, … Read more

 GODZILLA HERE THERE BE DRAGONS #1     IDW COMICS Oh boy, here we go again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always up for a new Godzilla title. It’s when we start having Godzilla show up in different time periods that things get a little wonky. And with stories like these there is usually a lot … Read more

 BETTIE PAGE #1     DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT Well, its Mirka Andolfo and Luca Blengino’s turn to spin us a little tale featuring everybody’s favorite pin up queen, Bettie Page.

SHAZAM #2     DC COMICS Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s story continues and while enjoyable, it really isn’t jumping up and shaking me. Billy just can’t seem to catch a break and he’s losing control.

And so the late 80’s and early 90’s gave us such titles as Adolescent Radioactive Black … Read more

 UNSTOPPABLE DOOM PATROL #3     DC COMICS Only 6 issues, that appears to be all we are going to get here but we are halfway done and we are still introducing new characters, new concepts, and new plot points. I can only hope that writer Dennis Culver know something we don’t. Like a possible on … Read more

 FLASH #799     DC COMICS It always seems like the issue just prior to a milestone issue goes one of two ways. Either it is a mad dash to try and finish up exiting storylines to highlight that the next big issue is going to take us into some new and amazing storyline that the … Read more

It’s nice to have friends. Since the last version of a Kong comic I read had the ridiculous premise of Kong on the Planet of the Apes and I also am not a big fan of neither Biollante nor Destroyah from the Godzilla universe, I decided to enlist the help of my pal Sly Hondo … Read more

 GREEN LANTERN #1     DC COMICS Well, Hal Jordan is back and by the look of it he is the Hal Jordan of the mid to late 1980’s version. The Hal Jordan we are presented with is fun-loving but borderline arrogant. He’s still trying to woo Carol back even though she has moved on. Jobless, … Read more
