Cover of the Week!
Must Read!
When Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette’s Swamp Thing #7 saw release, it was met with generally spectacular reviews, at least in part because after six issues the book finally delivered on the promise in its title — it finally featured Swamp Thing. Not many mainstream comics would wait over half a year to introduce their read more
I don’t know about you, but every time the Eisner Award nominations get announced, it reminds me just how few comics I read the previous year — at least important ones. I suppose it’s the same with any awards ceremony (though I was pretty up on this past year’s Grammys), but with comics, I always read more
It was only a matter of time before DC Comics began playing with the titles that comprise their New 52, and according to Newsarama – with backup from DC’s official blog The Source — that’s exactly what they’re doing.

As it happens, the author of one of the nominated books (several noms, actually!) saw the article and e-mailed me asking read more
After what some (well, me at least) might consider a rocky start, Grant Morrison and Rags Morales‘ Action Comics reached the end of its first arc with a pretty satisfying confrontation wherein Braniac forces Clark Kent to choose between his adopted home and his biological one. It was nature versus nurture for the fate of read more
I can’t read every book every week, but I read the ones I think I’ll like and write about them here. Daredevil #10.1: Consider: there’s really no way around the fact that point-one issues are just an excuse for Marvel to sell an extra book a month. And given artist work output limitations, this issue has read more
