In Tibet, The Green Dragon Llamas along with Archer’s parents are fast at work activating The Boon, which has close ties to Armstrong’s immortality and well, not good news if it’s successfully completed. Issue #4 of Archer & Armstrong pits our titled heroes [...]

REVIEW: Billy the Kid’s: Old Timey Oddities and the Orm of Loch Ness

REVIEW: Billy the Kid’s: Old Timey Oddities and the Orm of Loch Ness

I usually have trouble with adopting a new series to my reading list due to the fact that almost no single issue could possibly tell a complete story, or anything else near it. In most cases I won’t be able to decide whether or not I even liked that particular story until it develops several [...]

A Review: Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture by Rob Salkowitz

Being a beginner student of business I was rather interested [...]

Cover to issue one of DC's New 52 Suicide Squad

The Hardcore Review: Suicide Is A Good Thing…

Nothing says “Balls” like doing a villain centric book in this day and age. Sure there’s a lot of anti-heroes out there, but not a lot of open and honest out and out villains. Jimmie Robinson‘s Bomb Queen is one, but would you think with a major company wide relaunch that DC would have the [...]

Ryan’s REVIEWS: Green Wake #8

Ryan’s REVIEWS: Green Wake #8

Issue eight of Green Wake has little narrative to offer, but as always, maintains its continuity of its looming sense of doom.  It’s strange the way Green Wake is written, even though there is little dialogue to be said the imagery is more than enough to develop something of a story and so are it’s [...]

Cover of The Dark Knight #1, art by Finch and Friend

DC’s New 52 “Batman: The Dark Knight” Not Quite!
