Advance Review: Fatale #14
There are a few titles that guarantee greatness month in and month out. Fatale has been one of those since #1, and over a year later, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have continued to write one of the best books on the stands. With the last few months dealing with Fatales (that’s what I’m going [...]
Preview: THE LEGEND OF LUTHER STRODE #5
Luther has been Bound. Petra has become Jack’s new friend. Binder gets a surprise from an unexpected source. And the world burns down around them all.
Preview: THE WALKING DEAD #110
Ezekiel told Kal everything. It was a really dumb mood. That’s what happens when you get careless. Hope sometimes makes you stupid. Now Ezekiel has to clean up his mess. And that means taking care of Kal…and…Michonne?
Advance Review: Invincible Universe #2
Invincible Universe continues to be the best Invincible spin-off, even though it still has a few kinks to work out first. Invincible Universe #2 picks right up after #1, with the fight between Liu’s mind dragon and the government forces. Phil Hester balances nicely between down to Earth scenes and the massive battle sequences. Kid [...]

Advance Review: Morning Glories #25
Morning Glories has reached it’s 25th issue. And in fitting fashion, Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma make this double sized issue one hell of a read. Don’t be afraid of spoilers. This is a spoilers free review. Spencer has said that #25 would be the “end of the first season.” #25 certainly reads like a [...]
Review: Chew #32
With Tony back in the saddle for lead of Chew, the quality has been high. But John Layman and Rob Guillory may have crafted one of the best issues of the series with Chew #32. The biggest strength for Chew #32 is how Layman writes Tony. He has been through a lot the past few [...]
THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH SELLS OUT
Second issue of TODD gets second printing! Well to be honest with you, this is not a surprise. If you are not reading TODD, you are missing out! Selling out the same week as its release, TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH #2 continues the success of the new Image Comics mini-series by Ken Kristensen [...]
Advance Review: Bedlam #4
After a slightly lack luster third issue, Bedlam seems to be back on track story wise. The plot takes a big leap forward, but there is a distinct lack in character development. Nick Spencer seems to be trying to figure out what works the best in the book. Fillmore is the highlight of the book, [...]
Review: Snapshot #1
It’s hard for a new series to break into the market. But it’s considerably easier when the title is created by the guys behind The Losers. Snapshots is a fun, and straight forward #1 that is sure to entertain. Andy Diggle doesn’t waste any time in bringing the reader into the story. Diggle forgoes extensive [...]
ADVANCE REVIEW: Invincible #100
Another Robert Kirkman book has reached issue #100. Invincible has had an uneven couple of issues of late, but #100 shows a lot of promise for the future of the series. But it still jerks the reader’s chain all the way through. Spoiler warning for Invincible #98-100 Kirkman ends the Dinosaurus plot line in a [...]
Review: Bedlam #3
The most talkative comic on the stands continues to be all words. Bedlam #3 is another good issue, but has a few problems that could have been ironed out of the finished project. Nick Spencer brings Madder Red/Fillmore into the police force, to help with all these gruesome murders. This leaves most of the issue [...]
TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH PROVES POPULAR
Debut issue sells out, gets second printing The first issue of the new Image Comics series TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH, has sold out at the distributor level the same week as its release and will be reprinted. The second printing of TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH #1 (DEC128159) will be in stores [...]
Review: Invincible #99
With #100 right around the corner, #99 should have been the big ramp up to the landmark issue. Instead, we got an issue so filled with fights it became a chore to read. You’d think with the title “The Death of Everyone,” almost everyone would have died. Instead, last issue’s cliffhanger is quickly swept away [...]

NOWHERE MEN PERFORMS IMPRESSIVE ENCORE
Second issue sells out, gets second printing Lauded for its mash-up of “science fiction, a little bit of Beatles-esque mystique, a touch of retro, a bit of business” (iFanboy) at the release of its first issue, NOWHERE MEN continues going strong. The second issue of the pop-art sci-fi comics series by Eric Stephenson and Nate [...]
Review: Bedlam #2
Characters like the Joker will always be interesting. It’s an insight into the mind of the insane, and that type of study is endlessly entertaining. So it’s no surprise that Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo’s Bedlam is a great read, and very wicked. Quick recap/review of Bedlam #1. Bedlam #1 was all about establishing our [...]
REVIEW: Where Is Jake Ellis?
“Where is Jake Ellis” follows a newly shaven Jon Moore, ex CIA agent, who is being hunted through the urban streets of Bangkok, where anything that is connected to technology can reveal his hidden whereabouts. It’s incredibly apparent that the same people that have been hunting him still have not achieved their goal from the [...]
The Hardcore Review: Thor Unkillable Thunder Christ
This past weekend, at the fifth annual Tucson Comic-Con, I got to be in a panel, speaking about journalism, blogging and writing about all things pop culture. I also managed to sell a few comics. And as usual, I got to sneak out from my booth to pick up some comics to bring to you, [...]

Todd McFarlane discusses the comic industry and it’s pitfalls
Todd McFarlane, legendary creator of Spawn, recently sat down with Comic Book Therapy to talk about his new art book. Naturally, we couldn’t talk to him without getting his opinions on the comic industry as a whole. Sorry folks, but he had no clue about the Rob Liefeld and Scott Snyder incident that happened on [...]

It will receive a second printing (SEP128208), to be in stores on November 28, the same day as BEDLAM #2. Taking its tagline [...]
Review: Multiple Warheads
Not gaining a full comprehension of the world that is “Multiple Warheads” is one of Graham’s most charming characteristics within his writings. Frame after frame I was questioning the contents of what was occurring in the world. Once I finally let go of all predetermined notions of normalcy in modern fiction I was able to [...]
Invincible #96 Review
The Rex/Monster Girl storyline has come to an end for now, and it’s a great ending. And also in the win column, we get Mark Grayson back in the spotlight. It’s a good month to be an Invincible fan. The Monster Girl/Rex story line that has been the focus point for the last few months ends on [...]
