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 mostly unfamiliar to me. Sure, I know he gets his powers from a spooky magic rock (I can’t wait for the rock jokes in the movie), but I don’t know much about the character...
Death Dealer: From Frazetta, to Opus Comics
“You’ve never had a 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,...
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 through comics and exploded. Despite the already crowded and fantastical world of comics, the four mutated brothers found themselves household names well-before 1990, with a cartoon that had been out for three years at that point. Now, the...
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...
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...
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,...
DBZ: Buu’s Case For Best Villain In The Series
What was the first anime you watched? Well, you specifically might not have started with Dragon Ball Z like a large portion of anime fans (particularly in the United States), beginning with the mainstream series packed with action and an overwhelming amount of transformations and power-ups. It’s a highly acclaimed show,...
