Is It Good? Justice League #19 Review
Justice League is the Michael Bay action blockbuster of the DCU. It harbors the big global events, has all the top leads, and is rife with explosions. As a critic, you have to dive in with this analogy in mind. We’re not expecting Shakespeare, but god darn it it better be well written and well paced. So far this series has been up and down, so without further ado I ask the question, is it good? Justice League ...

Why Ghostbusters II Needs an Extended Cut
Ghostbusters II was a troubled film. Don't take that to mean I don't like the movie; it was the first film I ever saw in theaters and there are so many good things about it that I can't help but be affectionate for it. But it was a troubled film nevertheless. I have an old issue of Starlog sitting in front of me (#140, March 1989) with an interview from Bill Murray regarding the upcoming Ghostbusters II and he has...
ComiX Weekly: 6/20/12
Anyone else wondering why DC Comics hasn't had a major summer event start yet? Marvel has been kicking it up a notch with their Avengers vs. X-Men ongoing series; I suppose DC is still riding the New 52 until they've run out of new "twists" for the characters? That said, this week I've reviewed 19 comics from DC, Marvel, Image and Antarctic Press. Which shall fit in our 10 dollar budget? Avengers vs. X-Men #6:...

"Due to Brian Wood’s ability to write a strong character driven story one might argue Conan has never been this fleshed out before." You might argue that, yes, but it's not a particularly convincing argument, especially considering you seem to be extremely unfamiliar with the Conan comics. Anyone who's at least read the original REH stories (upon which this is based, I might add) would know Belit's fate. And "cold as stone"? What about his "gigantic mirth" as seen in evidence? Wood making Conan more than a barbarian slayer isn't new: Robert E. Howard did it from the beginning.Paul says:
I suppose if opposite is good (of course it is not the character that had been developed over the years or the one we were looking forward to but the ... umm ... opposite--another term for bait and switch), then Bizarro Superman must be the absolute greatest as it goes whole hog for opposite. By the way, when in this series, did he become "King of the seas?" This series has been virtually land-locked throughout. Just calling him the King of the seas isn't enough. Either you don't really follow the series or just believe what Brian Wood tells you.kkjdroid says:
