Hookjaw #1 Titan Comics Writer: Si Spurrier Art: Conan Boyle Colours: Giulia Brusco There is little question that this is likely the most offbeat thing that I had in my pull-list this week. And that’s ok, because, at face value, this was pretty refreshing. It’s the entire reason that I read stuff outside the big… Continue reading No, It’s NOT SAFE to go back in the water: a “Hookjaw #1” (Review)
Author: Agasicles Stamas
Gadgets, games, comics, movies, TV...all the things. In that order? Well, that changes as often as the weather. Agasicles is the quintessential nerd's nerd, with far too much content made available in today's world for him to stay focused on any one thing. Android? yep. iOS? Yep. PS4? XBox One? Marvel? DC? Yep, yep, yep...and...yep. He's been all over the world, but prefers nights at home with his favorite gadget or content. A Cold War kid and refugee from the 80s and 90s, Agasicles sometimes doesn't get all this new-fangled stuff that the kids are into these days. But he's trying his hardest.

Healing and Reconciliation: a “Green Arrow #13” Review
Green Arrow #13 Story: Benjamin Percy Art and Color: Otto Schmidt Lettering: Nate Piekos The production quality of Green Arrow #13 makes it feel like an episode of a TV show. Not THE TV show, but A show. I love the intro sequence, which feels like the cold open, and then a final cut before… Continue reading Healing and Reconciliation: a “Green Arrow #13” Review
A Two-Fisted Return: “Reggie and Me #1” (Review)
Reggie and Me #1 Archie Comics Story: Tom DeFalco Art: Sandy Jarrell Coloring: Kelly Fitzpatrick Tom DeFalco is a lot of things. He’s the Marvel Editor-in-Chief with the fourth longest run, exceeded only by Stan Lee, Jim Shooter, and Joe Quesada. He had the unfortunate fate of having to follow up Walt Simonson’s epic run… Continue reading A Two-Fisted Return: “Reggie and Me #1” (Review)
Minority Report Meets the Man of Steel: an “Action Comics #968” Review
Action Comics #968 DC Writer: Dan Jurgens Art: Tyler Kirkham Letterer: Rob Leigh Colorist: Ulises Arreola I have not read an issue of Action comics in a very long time. That’s ok, because if the continuity of numbering the series did not give it away, Action Comics is kind of the same comic it has… Continue reading Minority Report Meets the Man of Steel: an “Action Comics #968” Review
Tragedy Always Finds a Way – A “Deadpool #22” Review
Deadpool #22 Marvel Writer: Gerry Duggan Artist: Matteo Lolli Gerry Duggan has, over the course of his run on Deadpool, become one of my favorite writers. Furthermore, he has single-handedly converted a character from one I have heavily despised into one that I cannot wait to see each month. So much so that I wind… Continue reading Tragedy Always Finds a Way – A “Deadpool #22” Review

Green Lanterns #11 DC Writer: Sam Humphries Pencils: Robson Rocha Inks: Jay Leisten and Cam Smith Colors: Blond Letters: Dave Sharpe There is no shortage of butt-munches in the world of fictional media content these days.
