Black Adam #1: I Know Nothing About This Character, But He’s Awesome!
WARNING!!! SPOILERS FOR BLACK ADAM #1!!! Black Adam (as well as Shazam) is a character I’m far from familiar with. I don’t know much about the character outside of Teth-Adam living as a slave before bestowed the powers of a pantheon of gods. However, I still find Adam incredibly...
Death Dealer: From Frazetta, to Opus Comics
“You’ve never read Death Dealer before?” Oh, it was such an elementary tactic from the worker at my local comics shop, but it worked. They also tried to sell me a book of Frazetta’s art and Image Comic’s mini-series done in 2006. I only bought the mini-series. Look, I...
Amazing Spider-Man #91: Exit Beyond, Enter Chasm!
Here on this page, I uphold the utmost integrity and humility when talking about my favorite pastime, but I’m also here to say what needs to be said. And what needs to be said is this: “I don’t give a damn what you think about the Clone Saga and Clone Conspiracy; Ben Reilly...
My Favorite Comics of 2021
Cliché hook incoming. 2021 was an incredible year for comics! No, in all seriousness, 2021 was one of the better years in comics, not just for Marvel and DC, but comics as a whole. However, with me reading primarily comics from Marvel and DC, I found that both companies...
TMNT: Are the Current Comics ‘Good?’
In 1984, the turtles made their first impression on the world and exploded. Despite the already crowded and fantastical world of comics, the four mutated brothers found themselves household names by1990, with a cartoon that had been out for about three years. Now, the cartoon and the original comics...
‘Howard The Duck #16:’ The Bond Between a Writer and His Creation
Whenever I ask myself, “why am I such a loon?” the answer stares back with horrid obviousness–Howard the Duck is one of my favorite comic book characters. I can hear all of you asking, “what is wrong with you?” and “what the hell is interesting about Howard?” My response...
Cowboy Bebop: Spike and a Ship-Load of Unused Potential
I wish I remembered who recommended Cowboy Bebop to me because it’s one of my favorites, sparking perhaps the biggest internal debate I have ever experienced within my quirky, nerd-filled brain. “A forgotten piece of history,” they said before claiming, “it’s a masterpiece–perhaps one of the greatest anime of all time.”...
Black, White, and Blood: Are They Worth Reading?
Perhaps the biggest complaint when reading comics is that most stories require you to have read several series beforehand. Unfortunately, it’s inevitable, and it’s what makes it so hard for beginners to enter the comic world without being completely lost. However, that denseness and complexity are what I would...
Moon Knight (2021) #1: Marc Is As Crazy As Ever
With Marvel’s movies and recent shows on Disney Plus, tons of comics release along the MCU’s schedule of newest blockbusters and dramas on the small screen. Recently, fans have been gifted with a U.S.A Agent mini-series, a Falcon and Winter Soldier storyline, and a new Kang solo series to...
Maestro And Immortal Hulk: Two Comics Leading Us Into A New Era Of Hulk Comics
I feel like Hulk comics are almost always hit or miss with readers. For example, one of the more recent runs from Marvel’s Legacy event featured an Incredible Hulk featuring Amadeus Cho as the comic’s main protagonist (and Hulk). Although most can probably agree that Banner is the more interesting Hulk,...
