Wolverine: The Amazing Immortal Man and other Bloody Tales #1
Mon, May 19th, 2008 | By James Hunt
David Lapham's one shot doesn't live up to his other critically-acclaimed books. This collection of shorts is ultimately underwhelming.
Superman #676
Sun, May 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
An underwhelming look at an adventure from Superman's early years.
Batman #676
Sun, May 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
This first installment of "Batman R.I.P." is a great place to jump back on to this series.
GeNext #1
Sat, May 17th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Chris Claremont and Patrick Scherberger introduce another potential new generation of X-Men -- this time they’re the children of the original teams.
Captain Britain and MI:13 #1
Thu, May 15th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A very strong debut issue from writer Paul Cornell. Plus, Skrulls!
Huntress: Year One #1
Thu, May 15th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
New writer Ivory Madison presents a fierce, tormented Helena Bertinelli.
Young X-Men #2
Wed, May 14th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Guggenheim and Paquette bring us the adventures of the next, possibly last generation of mutants, although all might not be as it seems as the Young X-Men try to take down the former New Mutants.
Metal Men #8
Wed, May 14th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
And ambitious narrative jumble that never comes together in the end.
Infinity Inc. #9
Tue, May 13th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
An ill-selling book attempts to revamp itself, but "Infinity Inc." attempts to look more like every other superhero comic on the market. It's disastrous.
The War that Time Forgot #1
Tue, May 13th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
What if a bunch of forgotten genre characters ended up on Dinosaur Island?
Thunderbolts: Reason in Madness #1
Tue, May 13th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Christos Gage delivers another entertaining one-shot to fill gaps in the “Thunderbolts” schedule, this time focussing on two classic Marvel villains �" the Green Goblin and Mac “Venom/Scorpion” Gargan.
Cable #3
Mon, May 12th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Duane Swierczynski and Ariel Olivetti continue what might just be the most important story to come out of Messiah Complex -- it’s just a pity there’s not a little more story in the issue.
True Story, Swear to God #11
Mon, May 12th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Tom Beland's book is charming as always, telling the story of his real-life romance, but at times one can't help but wish that it moved a bit faster.
Casanova #14
Mon, May 12th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A special spoiler-free review of the brilliant conclusion to the "Gula" arc.
Justice League of America #20
Sun, May 11th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Possibly the first time Dwayne McDuffie's run on the book isn't editorially mandated, and which shows a hint of promise for him eventually writing his own stories.
X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead #1
Sat, May 10th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Peter David and Pablo Raimondi put Quicksilver back on the path to redemption in this X-Factor special worth a look to all X-Men and Avengers fans.
House of Mystery #1
Fri, May 9th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Part bizarre mystery, part anthology series, all Vertigo-style horror.
The Mighty Avengers #13
Fri, May 9th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Nick Fury assembles a new Howling Commandos team, and they look a bit, well, young. Bendis and Maleev deliver another fantastic "Secret Invasion" tie-in, delivering on their reputation as a superstar team.
The Invincible Iron Man #1
Thu, May 8th, 2008 | By Kevin Church
Marvel's big new "Iron Man" series is a welcome return to form for the character of Tony Stark. This is Matt Fraction's best Marvel writing to date for a very high profile title.
Pearls Before Swine: The Crass Menagerie
Thu, May 8th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
A collection of "Pearls Before Swine" is fun in its own right, but the annotations and extras from Stephan Pastis push this into must-own territory.
Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1
Wed, May 7th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The still artwork matches the stiff dialogue in this slow first issue.
Secret Invasion #2
Wed, May 7th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A T-Rex, the return of an old favorite, and a great final image make this better than your average alien invasion series.
Ultimate Human #4
Tue, May 6th, 2008 | By James Hunt
It’s Iron Man versus Hulk versus the Leader as Warren Ellis proves where his reputation as one of the modern greats comes from, even if the story’s resolution does feel a little truncated.
Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula #1
Tue, May 6th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The Black Tarantula crawls into the spotlight in a one-shot that reads like classic "Daredevil."
Teen Titans #58
Mon, May 5th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Sean McKeever's emphasis on character makes this worth a look.
Gargoyles: Bad Guys #2
Mon, May 5th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Another disappointing installment in the canon of Gargoyles comics. The spotlight is on disgraced Japanese Gargoyle Yama, and how he came to join the Redemption Squad.
X-Men: Legacy #210
Mon, May 5th, 2008 | By James Hunt
"X-Men: Legacy" emerges as perhaps the most focused of the post-Messiah Complex X-titles. Greg Land occupies the guest-art slot as Carey wraps up the redefinition of the title as a Professor Xavier solo-title.
The Order #10
Sun, May 4th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Thus, Matt Fraction's could-have-been-"The-Champions"-series comes to a close.
Ramayan 3392 AD Volume 2
Sun, May 4th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The Hindu epic skillfully reimagined as a sci-fi action comic book in this offering from Virgin Comics.
New Avengers #40
Sat, May 3rd, 2008 | By James Hunt
Two-thirds of the “New Avengers: Illuminati” team reunite as Bendis and Cheung go back to tell the story of how and why Secret Invasion got started, with some important revelations along the way.
Glamourpuss #1
Wed, April 30th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Dave Sim returns to comics with a fashion magazine parody slash essay on Alex Raymond.
DC Universe #0
Wed, April 30th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A promo for "Final Crisis" that wipes away the bad memories of "Countdown."
Hulk Vs. Hercules: When Titans Collide #1
Tue, April 29th, 2008 | By James Hunt
It’s Hulk vs. Hercules in a fight that apparently happened years ago. Could be worse, but ultimately you have to wonder what sort of comic it thinks it is. An annual? Regular part of the Hercules series? Who knows!?
The Uncanny X-Men #497
Mon, April 28th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Brubaker and Choi bring part two of a story about what X-Men do in their down time. Turns out, it’s pretty much the same as in their up-time!
Northlanders #5
Mon, April 28th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Brian Wood's Viking saga, possibly the best thing he's ever written, is worthy of your attention.
Hulk #3
Fri, April 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
As a showcase for artist Ed McGuinness, this issue shines. As a story, not so much.
Mighty Avengers #12
Fri, April 25th, 2008 | By James Hunt
The superstar team of Bendis and Maleev reunite to tackle the question of what Nick Fury has been up to while he’s been absent from the Marvel Universe in an issue high in tension and light on Avengers.
Ultimate Fantastic Four #53
Fri, April 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The weakest title of the Ultimate line continues to falter.
Ganges #2
Wed, April 23rd, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
In a line full of high-quality books, Kevin Huizenga's "Ganges" is the absolute pinnacle, and something that belongs in every comic reader's collection.
Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Wed, April 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
After 52 weeks, it all comes down to this.
X-Factor #30
Wed, April 23rd, 2008 | By James Hunt
Peter David proves why he’s one of the industry’s living legends with another great issue of "X-Factor." In the wake of "Messiah Complex," the team are attacked by Arcade and violence ensues!
Batman #675
Wed, April 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A new Ten-Eyed Man helps set the stage for Batman: R.I.P.
The Incredible Hercules #116
Tue, April 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Mythologies clash in another good issue of this surprising series.
DMZ #30
Tue, April 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Matty Roth goes to Harlem and tries to find himself.
Batman and the Outsiders #6
Mon, April 21st, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
In a revamped book where everything has supposedly changed, the only real difference seems to be a slower pace with slightly difference faces.
X-Men: Divided We Stand #1
Sun, April 20th, 2008 | By James Hunt
A heavy focus on the cast of "New X-Men" means this “Divided We Stand” tie-in often feels underwhelming, though a mix of genuine established and rising talent saves it from complete mediocrity.
Captain Marvel #5
Sat, April 19th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Captain Marvel finally recovers his memories as the series turns out to be far more of a Secret Invasion prologue than you might’ve expected. Brian Reed writes, with Lee Weeks pencilling.
Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #1
Thu, April 17th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Michelinie and Layton return to the character they helped define in a sequel to "Doomquest", one of their most fondly remembered stories, with appropriately old-school artwork by Ron Lim.
Amazing Spider-Man #557
Wed, April 16th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
While the Mayan god-king may not matter in the long run, Chris Bachalo's astounding artwork certainly does.
Superman #675
Wed, April 16th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Kurt Busiek saves the best for last.
