So first, they start killing off all the bats in Gotham! That’s one way to get ole Bruce’s … Read more Special After C2E2 Blog
With C2E2 now officially over and my mind and body recovered enough to focus, I welcome you to our annual after convention special blog.

GREEN LANTERN #6 DC COMICS Teaming up with his former back-up feature star, having Green Lantern and Adam Strange is as natural as apple pie and vanilla ice cream.

THE FLASH #67 DC COMICS Writer Joshua Williamson does what I thought I might never see again.

While Barry feels his speed fading in the hunt for … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of March 19, 2019
AVENGERS NO ROAD HOME #6 MARVEL COMICS As if it wasn’t enough to have Marvel flooding the stands with new Conan titles, we now have an Avengers/Conan crossover.

Aside from Super Rabbit starring in his own title as well as Ideal Comics, the wacky antics of Ziggy Pig and Silly … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of March 6th, 2019 (part 1)DOOMSDAY CLOCK #9 DC COMICS Finally, some substance, some cameos, and some interesting face offs. While Earth seems to be one step away from total chaos, the heroes of Earth fly to Mars to confront Doctor Manhattan.

MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #2 MARVEL COMICS The new version of Marvel Comics Presents seems to be suffering from the same issues that it’s predecessor suffered from. While the randomness of the stories is one of the key draws to the concept, it also acts against it. With an on-going Wolverine story acting as … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 2/20/19
BATMAN #65 DC COMICS Reading like a hard-arse copy of Brave and the Bold, having Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen trying to keep it together while obviously both on the verge of flipping their lids is actually a bit of a hard read. The other hard part is knowing that Gotham Girl is way … Read more |
