Is It Good? Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher #1 Review
Richard Corben clearly loves exaggeration in his depiction of characters. He started writing in the 80s in comics like Creepy and Eerie, then of course he went on to write and draw for Heavy Metal (or no metal at all!). His style is east to spot. Just look for a lady with huge boobs, and a dude with a ...

Naturally, this doesn’t sit well with the Fantastic Four and the Future Foundation. Is it good?...

Is It Good? B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth Wasteland Part 1 Review
Written by Mike Mignola (I'm beginning to think Arcudi just emails Mignola, and Mignola goes, "sure," and gets a writers credit) and John Arcudi, with art by Laurence Campbell, this B.P.R.D. deals with the agency fighting monsters. I too was shocked by this inexplicable new direction. No, for reals, it's good...

What do his friends think ...

Is It Good? Nova Vol. 5 #4 Review
Nova has always been a big part of the Marvel Now! reboot along with Guardians of the Galaxy. Both deal with the cosmic side of things and both are going to be a big deal in a year when the Guardians film hits theaters. I wasn’t a big fan of writer Jeph Loeb’s first two issues of Nova, but hell, let’s g...

He's an original character and part of the twist ending, so I didn't want to elaborate too much for folks wanting to see the movie. But in the context, they're trying to get the clam to open up so they can get the starman powerup inside it. For some reason they think singing and dancing is the answer (and it works).
