Spider-Man. Norman Osborn. Thousands of fanboys yelling “Fight, fight, fight, fight!”

Irredeemable #8

Thu, November 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The Plutonian faces his first real threat and we learn more about why he turned evil in one of the best comics on the shelves.

Flash: Rebirth #5

Thu, November 19th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

While the story's a bit slowly paced for a tale about the Flash, this issue reveals something hugely significant.

Wolverine: Weapon X #7

Wed, November 18th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

In part two of the second "Weapon X" arc, things get even weirder, and more terrifying.

Realm of Kings: Inhumans #1

Wed, November 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Realm of Kings: Inhumans" is giving the political intrigue I was hoping for; with any luck, it won't devolve into fight scenes.

Adventure Comics #4

Wed, November 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

In what is surely to be the strangest "Blackest Night" tie-in, the joke is getting a little old.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly #5

Tue, November 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

A great conclusion that is original and also alludes to the films numerous times.

Spider-Woman #3

Tue, November 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This works much better as an actual comic, particularly with Maleev's expressive color palette.

Punisher #11

Tue, November 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The series takes a turn for the even-more-absurd and it totally works.

Dark Avengers #11

Tue, November 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Norman Osborn and his crew are in serious trouble. "Secret Wars II"-level trouble.

Realm of Kings #1

Tue, November 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Realm of Kings" kicks off here, but is it wrong that I'm feeling a little event fatigued?

Daredevil #502

Mon, November 16th, 2009 | By James Hunt

With Matt’s friends reeling after the events of last issue, the Kingpin begins to cement his position in the underworld.

Cable #20

Mon, November 16th, 2009 | By James Hunt

Bishop chases Hope and Cable, who narrowly escape. Again.

Beast

Mon, November 16th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.

Marian Churchland's retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" is a completely new animal, with beautiful art and an open-ended story.

Green Lantern Corps #42

Sun, November 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The sound and the fury have started to become tedious, and a major plot event suffers because of it.

R.E.B.E.L.S. #11

Sun, November 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Andy Clarke is one of the best artists working in superhero comics today. And while this isn't a great series, it's better than you might expect.

Realm of Kings Imperial Guard #1

Sun, November 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Abnett and Lanning bring some action and characterization to Gladiator's Legion of Super-Guardians, and it looks nice too.

Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #17

Sat, November 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Keeping in step with Marvel's re-branding of their Marvel Adventures line, "Marvel Adventures Super Heroes" gets a new direction and purpose.

JSA vs. Kobra #6

Sat, November 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The chess match between Kobra and the JSA comes to close in this issue, but their interwoven story doesn't end here.

Supergod #1

Fri, November 13th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

An oral history of superhumans and their role as modern gods in society, centering on the idea that a superhuman would not think like a human. Original, inventive, and very good.

Booster Gold #26

Fri, November 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Booster Gold" uses up all the extra pages this month in a "Blackest Night" tie-in that features a rather apt guest hero as well as undead villain.

Batman and Robin #6

Thu, November 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

A slightly disappointing issue of "Batman and Robin," but even here there still glimmers of excellence.

Psylocke #1

Thu, November 12th, 2009 | By James Hunt

Psylocke heads back to Japan with her former body in tow.

X-Men Forever #11

Thu, November 12th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Cliches and a retro-classic feel, but there's something comforting in the storytelling.

Punishermax #1

Thu, November 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The first issue of this new volume doesn’t run from the Ennis problem, confronting it head on while delivering a great read.

The Amazing Spider-Man #611

Wed, November 11th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The best "ASM" issue of the year, with Deadpool and Joe Kelly and Eric Canete and all that is good in the world.

Strange #1

Wed, November 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The cover says it all, "The Doctor is out!" Indeed. No longer flaunting his pedigree, Stephen Strange finds a new adventure in this limited series by Mark Waid and Emma Rios.

S.W.O.R.D. #1

Wed, November 11th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This not-so serious look at Agent Brand's space operation is better than its art would lead you to believe.

Batman/Doc Savage Special #1

Wed, November 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

A typical team-up special that follows the format to a tee, which is disappointing from a writer of Brian Azzarello’s skill.

Wall-E #0

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The comic boook equivalent of a a silent movie, WALL-E is BOOM!'s latest Disney/Pixar property to make the transition to the printed page.

Dark X-Men #1

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

I was a little dubious about a "Dark X-Men" mini-series, but this first issue shows a lot of potential.

Donald Duck and Friends #347

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.

Donald Duck goes James Bond on us, with some beautiful Italian art.

Immortal Weapons #4

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Immortal Weapons" continues to prove itself to be more entertaining than anyone would have thought.

Deadpool #899

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

There are some good bits in "Deadpool Team-Up," but it's not half as funny as it promises to be.

Greek Street #5

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The first story arc ends and, sadly, the direction of the book isn’t any clearer.

Black Widow: Deadly Origin #1

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Marvel gives the adoring public a chance to catch up with the Black Widow as the character is poised to ascend to the silver screen in the highly anticipated "Iron Man" sequel. This book might have been better served as a complete recapture of t

Deathlok #1

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Marvel tries to restart the Deathlok franchise again, only this time with more background -- or is it with more decompression? "Kill them all and let God sort them out." Ugh.

Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #1

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

This "Fables" spin-off mini-series is off to a fun start, but it's a shame no one thought to better coordinate it with the parent title.

Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural #2

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Following a confrontation with Doctor Doom, Jericho Drumm, i.e. Doctor Voodoo, Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, has to figure out where he is and how he can return to Earth.

The Amazing Spider-Man #610

Tue, November 10th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Who would have thought referencing the Clone Saga would result in a convoluted plot?

Captain America: Reborn #4

Mon, November 9th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Steve Rogers may be coming back, but he’s going to have to relive the worst day of his life first — or, will he prevent it from happening?

Phonogram: The Singles Club #5

Mon, November 9th, 2009 | By James Hunt

Laura Heaven comes to the realization that she’s not a nice person, and that’s okay.

Assault on New Olympus #1

Sun, November 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Marvel's other big story begins right here. While "Dark Reign" thunders on, a story with great characters and lasting repercussions is brewing right here. All that plus a full day's supply of "Agents of Atlas."

The Marvelous Land of Oz #1

Sun, November 8th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Skottie Young's art brings this storybook adventure to life.

Stumptown #1

Sun, November 8th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

A strong start for this Portland-based "Big Sleep"-style crime story.

The Boys: Herogasm #6

Sat, November 7th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

An inauspicious end to “Herogasm” that begs the question: was this series worth it?

Lobo: Highway to Hell #1

Sat, November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Sam Keith's art has never looked so weak, and for seven bucks an issue, this story isn't worth your time or money.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #4

Sat, November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Lafuente draws a Spider-Man who is a blur of motion, and that feels exactly right.

The Mighty #10

Sat, November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The secret origin of Alpha One revealed. Spoiler: His evil is nothing new, and this comic is very good.

Act-i-vate Primer

Thu, November 5th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The online Act-i-vate collective put out a book of 16 stories showcasing what they can do, sprawling across genres and styles.
