I STILL (HEART) COMIX by SavageHenryLee
(Wed 10/08/2008 11:05am)
I came here to kick ass and talk about graphic novels. And I got bookshelves full of graphic novels. Ugh. New comic day. It's a busy day, if you're a comic shop's retail staff. A day full of boxes which need to be opened and emptied, books which need to ...

Elderly Superheroes Never Looked So Good! by Supernaut

I've always been a big fan of golden age superheroes, but for some reason I've never been a regular reader of the current Justice Society comics. That changed with the recent relaunch... I guess the whole "Slap a #1 on it and it'll sell" theory works. ...

Religion in Comics by noblenonsense
(Fri 12/22/2006 11:58am)
The idea was inspired by the recent "frenzy" on Wolverine #49 review. To be honest that issue doesn't deserve any real frenzy other than to be noted that the writers of Wolverine are lacking in a decent potrayal of an oversaturated character. He...

Cute teenaged sociopath seeks superhero team to infiltrate and betray! (Or: New Comics Reviews... sort of) by Bs Ramblings
(Sun 12/17/2006 07:38pm)
Tara Markov (aka Terra) is doing pretty well for a girl who's been for over two decades. She's already had a high profile because of her appearances on the Teen Titans cartoon (which, uh, I never watched), the first half of her classic story arc from New ...

My beef with Jessica Chobot by noblenonsense
(Fri 12/15/2006 08:39am)
Let me start out this entry with a headnote. I have bronchitis, I am medicated, and I could fall asleep within five minutes if I weren't at work. So please take that into consideration. Also, I have never met Jessica Chobot. I believe she's a west coaster...

Heroes: Archetypes or Artistic Alsorans? Plus: Bacon! by BlogCABN
(Mon 12/11/2006 06:25am)
Generic Heroes or Heroic Archtypes? Don't get me wrong, I lurve me some Heroes on NBC (even if their website lacks a mute button for the annoying 'sounds of New York!' ambient noise), but I've come to wonder if many of the characters powers on the show a...

The Fanboy Obsessions by noblenonsense
(Fri 12/08/2006 10:13am)
My sociology teacher in high school said the following: "pick your vices carefully. I chose Marlboro cigarettes and Budweiser beer. You may end up being a microbrewery fan but make sure you choose it and stick with it." We all got a laugh out of...

Santa vs. Zombies by gamera23
(Sat 12/02/2006 07:07pm)
Like the sound of that? That's the sound of Old St. Nick hoisting a machine gun to keep the ghouls at bay when the aposalypse cancels Christmas - but not forever! Just in the way of handing a plug to the best Xmas gift you can give yourself this year, The...

"There once was a man..." by noblenonsense
(Wed 11/29/2006 12:13pm)
No I'm not going to go into the limerick. Mainly because I only know the next two lines. But those few words put your mind into another frame of mind, most likely in the gutter, but nonetheless your mind wandered a bit.To me, thats the purpose of comics. ...

On the B-List and fanboy addiction by noblenonsense
(Tue 11/28/2006 11:59am)
I remember having a D.A.R.E. class in middle school. I really don't remember much about it, or even what it stands for, but I did remember hearing that marijuana is a gateway drug. I'll be honest, I've never done drugs nor really want too, but this made s...

The Bucky Clause and Death in comics by noblenonsense
(Tue 11/21/2006 10:07am)
Once upon a time there was a general rule that DC and Marvel abided by. No one in comics stays dead besides Uncle Ben, Jason Todd, and Bucky. That rule is known by all of fandom. If you go up to a casual comic book reader and say "the Bucky Clause&qu...

Marvel at me! by noblenonsense
(Fri 11/17/2006 01:56pm)
I had EVERY intention of writing a review of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Civil War #5, New Avengers #25, and even a bit on the longer trailer for Spider-Man 3. Alas, life got in the way. Here's a hint to life folks. Don't attend a small private liberal art...

Avengers: Ultimate Jerks! by Supernaut
(Tue 11/14/2006 10:59am)
I don't know about you, but I found both of the Avengers animated movies to be Ultimately dissapointing. Not only was the animation sub-par and the storytelling only slightly above the level of a G.I. Joe cartoon, but the whole team is comprised of a bun...

Almost 2 years ago, DC comics released a trade paperback featuring several stories of Alan Moore. The book was plagued with a few printing errors that hampered sales. Early this year, DC reissued the book, complete with 2 additional stories to make it up ...
