STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION IDW 20/20 IDW COMICS One of the many aspects of the Star Trek Universe that hasn’t been explored too much, the tales of young Captain Picard on the Stargazer have a certain charm and realism. Peter David’s story mashes together Picard’s classic mannerisms with the uncertainty of a fresh faced … Read more Special Sneak Peak at the 2019 Hero Initiative Charity Book Supported by Graham Crackers

CRYPT OF SHADOWS #1 MARVEL COMICS A tragic shame that this book didn’t live up to my expectations. While the original Crypt title featured reprints from early on in Marvel/Timely’s history, there was a certain charm about them with classic art topped with new exciting covers. So perhaps I raised my expectations too high when … Read more Hey Kids! Comics, Industry and You!
This morning Booker, the three year old question machine that basically runs my life, asked me, “Daddy, why you go to Comics?” Apparently, my career has been distilled down to one word. What struck me is that’s exactly what an intoxicated girlfriend asked me sometime in 1989. I then realized that I was living in … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 01/15/19
SPAWN KILLS EVERYONE #2 IMAGE COMICS Ok, this one caught me totally off guard. Not being a fan of Spawn or understanding much about the current version of the character. But the do it yourself cover made me laugh so I decided what the heck. Once inside I was equally lost but the truth … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 01/09/19
GREEN LANTERN #3 DC COMICS Just based on the cameos alone this book should have been earning an 8 or a 9. Grant Morrison ability to weave obscure characters into his stories is still in full swing. And Liam Sharp’s art manages to channel the old Plop! comic and famed artist Basil Wolverton. … Read more Greetings from Sunny California and a Saga Review! By Melodie F.
Greetings from Temecula, CA and welcome to my very first blog and review as a Graham Crackers Comics employee and manager! As many of my regulars already know, I am a huge fan of Saga from Image Comics and I’m here to tell you why. The one and only Book Club I was privileged to … Read more The First Reviews for 2019 (Direct from 2 Days In The Future)
HEROES IN CRISIS #4 DC COMICS The story progresses and it seemingly is between two suspects. And the usual methods aren’t going to work. Tom King’s story is starting to pick up the pace and the interaction between Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman is still genius and Clay Mann can draw me a … Read more Five Comics and Why They Are Great
#1 – DETECTIVE COMICS #441 DC COMICS Back in the early 1970’s, DC Comics went for a bold move by creating the 100 Page Super-Spectacular. Using their enormous library of old stories, they filled the 100 pagers with reprints featuring older and less known heroes. Most had a common theme to them. … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 12/18/18 (1 More Week Until Xmas!)
FREEDOM FIGHTERS #1 DC COMICS Quality is the name of the game here (get it?!). And this forth gathering of Quality Publishing’s Super Group is exactly that. This is an updated version of classic Golden-Age heroes that actually makes sense. Alex Ross’s version of Uncle Sam is lost and the Nazis have won. But once you … Read more |
