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 Swashbuckler Comic Recommendations by John Elle
If anyone knows anything about me, they know I am a sucker for a good Swashbuckler. Yes. I love stuff like The Three Musketeers, Zorro, and just about anything and everything to do with Pirates. My introduction into this type of genre probably comes from films like the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones (tonally, … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 6/21/2023
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 Multiverse Madness: My Favorite Alternate Universe Stories By Luke Simkins
The recent release of the new Spider-Verse movie (which is fantastic btw) got me thinking about multiverses again. I love a good alternate universe, Elseworld, What If, you name it!

It is Sunday August 5th 2013, I walk into Graham Crackers Lakeview for the first time and buy a Forever Evil Villains Month Lenticular Cover, and ask if they are hiring. The Manager at the time says no. It is Tuesday November 5th 2013, I have just signed up for a club subscription at Graham … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 06/07/2023
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. Throwing us a red herring in the form of the Psycho Pirate is genius but it’s not enough. Plus this … Read more Doc’s Reviews for His Birthday 05/31/2023
LEGION OF EXCEPTIONAL GORILLA MEN #1 AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY After the amazing success of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, it seemed to give dozens of creative teams the incentive to create their own weirdly titled super teams. And so the late 80’s and early 90’s gave us such titles as Adolescent Radioactive Black … Read more Eisner Madness by Anthony Fograse
