Too Much Awesome

When you think of superheroes that are fully opposable and made of plastic, you think of characters like Batman and Spider-man, But have you ever wanted to see more of comic’s bright and colorful characters having their accessories sold separately? 10. Legion of Superheroes- The future of superheroes in the DC universe were originally best [...]

It seems like forever that we left off our Comic Book Club excursion into the current continuity of Marvel comics. When we last saw Cap and the gang, well Cap was dead, Iron Man was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man had outted his secret identity to the public, and the X-Men were all around devastated. [...]

I’ve been meaning to talking about this comic book for quite some time, but I continually got sidetracked with one article or another, or just didn’t feel it was the right time yet. That was apparently before I started making media contacts, and one of my absolute favorite is Dark Horse Comics (just down the [...]

At this point it seems that The Avengers movie can do no wrong. Fans are ravenous to get a taste of what’s in store for Marvel movies, even wishing beyond reason that somehow Spider-Man and the X-Men show up in some way.

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 [...]

As of this moment, one of my favorite comic book series is Fables by Bill Willingham. The concept is about as simple as it can be- Fairytales living in New York- but the execution is absolutely brilliant. Seeing as how it’s the end of the year and people will have some extra money here and [...]

It’s been a good long while since I’ve mentioned comic books, hasn’t it? I keep making this mistake and I apologize.
