As we live in the world day to
day, it can be hard to recognize meaningful events....
There are certain exceptions, such as the day of joy when the Berlin Wall fell, or the day of sorrow on September 11th. Everyone understands that something important has changed. Other changes are more subtle, ...

The Amazing Spider-Man 613 by Mark Waid and
Paul Azaceta The story continues, but with not much...
appeal. This does not seem like anything close to a gauntlet yet. Azaceta may be fast, but his style is not to my taste. The characters look very different from the more unique, distinctive ...

Dark Avengers 11 by Brian Bendis, Mike Deodato,
and Greg Horn Bendis delivers some cool back-story on...
Victoria Hand, highlighting her original criticisms of Nick Fury, and her current understanding as Deputy Director of just how hard it is to make the world do what you want it to. The ...

The Amazing Spider-Man 612 by Mark Waid and
Paul Azaceta Lots of cool covers from which to...
choose, and the inside art just doesn’t seem as good as any of them. Not that I mind Azaceta’s art, it fits in well with the focus on Electro, but he makes New York look too gothic, and I don’t ...

Adventure Comics 4 by Geoff Johns, Sterling Gates,

The Brave And The Bold 29 by J.
M. Straczynski and Jesus Saiz Brother Power the Geek...
emerges from the ashes, continuing Straczynski’s theme of teaming up a well-known hero with somebody a little more far out (fans who already know the Geek will be aware of my lame puns). There are ...

Yesterday, I was ranting about Wildcat finding out
he had a son, and the son went from...
dissing his dad in one panel, to adopting the exact same codename and becoming a super hero by the end of the issue. It's bad enough that nobody stays dead in comics, but now when Barry Allen comes back, he ...

three different versions of the Legion of Superheroes, and it took quite a few mental gymnastics if you wanted to recognize which Lightning Lad of the three was on aparticular panel. ...

Four #1 issues this week, let’s see how
they are! The Amazing Spider-Man 611 by Mark Joe...
Kelly and Eric Canete Joe Kelly can handle Deadpool well, and the cover alone by Skottie Young is amusing (Skottie didn’t get a credit inside the issue itself until a last-minute add-on at the ...

Booster Gold 26 by Dan Jurgens, Mike Norton

The writer and art teams combine to give us a 30-page story for $3.99. No second feature, just some cool story all the way through. We start with a recap for Booster’s origin, and for Ted Kord. It’s ...

chores in place of James Robinson, and it works okay. There’s a small slip in the art early on, as Jax-ur uses his heat vision on two guys in rapid succession. The block panel is in ...

Let's face it: if life is cheap in
the real world, death is cheaper in comics. People...
come back from death so many times, Doctor Strange can't even remember if he's been to your funeral or not. But if you had to die, wouldn't you want it to hold more "oomph?" Which universe gives us the best ...
