Too Much Awesome

A few months ago, I gave my two cents on the release of Dark Horse Books collection of Avatar short comics, Avatar the Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures. The lowdown: while a fun collection of shorts with a unique variety of art styles, there was little to be had as far as real story content and [...]

So, where did we last leave off on our Marvel Retrospective, detailing the current continuity of Marvel’s Universe? Ah yes, all mutants were depowered, save for a select 198 that happened to include the X-Men. Things were getting crazy, but at the very least it seemed that the Marvel Universe was ready to let things [...]

We all rested and ready for more of this Marvel Retrospective? We covered Avengers Disassembled a while ago, but when we last left off things were getting back to normal. The New Avengers were flying high and things seemed great, but there are a lot of dark times on the horizon. Everything changes today for [...]

When we last left off, the Avengers had just disbanded in Avengers Disassembled. It was a sad time with much tearful departures, but I’m not even near done running us through Marvel’s current continuity as far as I can take it. This is meant to help those who want a foothold into the massive continuity, [...]

Greetings my good hotman.  How’s that wait for Legend of Korra going? Not good? Well it’s nice to know that Comic Con is now only a few weeks away. Surely we will find out some more information then. But in the meantime, here is something else you might want to look into. In 2009, Nickelodeon [...]

You may not know it about me, but I’m an incredibly huge Marvel fan. Not necessarily a Marvel fanboy, but I’m getting pretty close. All of this is due to a magical comic book odyssey I took a few years back where I read over a hundred comics collections and graphics novels in preparation for [...]

My goal with the Comic Book Club is to talk about comic books and graphic novels that I’m a huge fan of and that others may not have heard of. Today’s Comic Book Club comic is The Walking Dead, a series that may not be as obscure as I originally assumed (and certainly not as [...]

Guess who we’re talking about today? Benjamin “Yahtzee” Croshaw, that’s who. Video Game’s very own Simon Cowell/Gordon Ramsay/Piers Morgan. I guess in today’s society, nearly every single art medium is required to have at least one grumpy, British, fast talking, smart mouthy critic, whom despite how much they universally despise humanity, humanity seems to love [...]

It’s widely acknowledged that Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, is both one of the most frustrating and intriguing of DC’s comic properties. Like Ambush Bug, she’s sort of an insider-secret to the DC ‘verse, a character with deep roots and hidden impacts that never achieved broad commercial recognition.

I couldn’t even go one week, could I? It was only just Monday I was talking about Fables by Bill Willingham and already I’ve decided to cover Jack of Fables, the spin-off series written by Willingham and Matthew Sturges. Can a spin-off be anywhere near as good as the original? In this case, it just [...]
