Rest in Peace Mike

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

I have not posted in a long time, and it is with great sadness that a post like this is what begs me to log in and do so. Michael Turner passed away this morning, finally succumbing to his long-fought bout with cancer. He was a polarizing figure, but so are ...

Friday, June 27th, 2008

And Mich is excited! Why, you ask? Because Fables #73, House of Mysery #3 and Buffy #16 are coming out, of course! Me, myself, I'm really looking forward to the 3rd installment of Batman RIP, Cable #5 and The Sword #9 (my personal favorite right now). Check the whole list out ...

Preview of Avengers/Invaders #3

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Here's a preview of issue #3 of Alex Ross' Avengers/Invaders. I think this is one of the more underrated books out there right now, being lost in the whirlwind of Secret Invasion cross-over madness. It takes place before said Invasion and is about the WWII era Invaders crossing over into ...

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Here's a preview of Warren Ellis' first issue of Astonishing X-Men. If you didn't know, the previous 24 issues had been written by Joss Whedon and had enjoyed the rabid fan base that comes with it. There's a lot riding on these first few issues of transition, and I'd say ...

Here's a preview of the first few pages of War Heroes #1 by Millar and Hitch. It's mostly just setting up the book's world, but it still looks very promising.

Ultimate Origins #1

Friday, June 6th, 2008

So, in case you hadn't heard, Ultimate Origins is finally out. While you may not believe this, it isn't ENTIRELY about Wolverine. While the title suggests it might be the Ultimate version of Wolverine's origins ala ORIGINS, what this book really is about is combining every element of the Ultimate ...
