The Really Big Fight This Week Was D vs R – a “Deathstroke #16” Review
Deathstroke #16 DC Written by: James Bonny Art by: Paolo Pantalena Colors by: Arif Prianto Deathstroke is an interesting premise as an ongoing stand-alone comic. I guess because DC found some success with Sinestro, it was appropriate to take a similar whack at another...

The Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. #6 Marvel Writer: Frank J. Barbiere Art: Brent Schoonover Color Art: Nick Filardi You gotta love Dum Dum Dugan. I've chosen to ignore the reveal from Original Sin that he is a life model decoy (LMD). Who knows if THAT...

Tony Stark is Not the Center of My Universe – an “International Iron Man #1” Review
International Iron Man #1 Marvel Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Alex Maleev Color Artist: Paul Mounts There is, admittedly, quite a bit of static that gets in the way of me enjoying this book. So take my review and this score with a grain of salt. That being...
Just Make It Vampyres – a “Green Arrow #50” Review
Green Arrow #50 DC Script: Ben Percy Art: Szymon Kudranski Colorist: Gabe Eltaeb Green Arrow #50 posterizes Deathstroke on the cover. But by the time you get near the end , you’ll almost forget that he’s supposed to be in this story. I've lost a grip on which version...
