June’s Comic Sales: All About Watchmen

June’s Comic Sales: All About Watchmen

A betting person would have been smart to bet that Before Watchmen was going to take the top four spots in the top ten for June.  But lo and behold, Avengers vs X-Men beat it out.  What comes as a surprise to me, Avengers vs X-Men took the top two spots, and Batman #11 took the third.  Spider-Men makes the [...]

Batman: Earth One Review

Batman: Earth One Review

There are three characters in the comic medium who don’t need their origin retold.  Those are Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman.  Almost everyone knows their stories, since they are ingrained so deeply into pop culture.  Their origins, while simplistic, are near perfect.  So whenever a new origin story is told, it needs to leave an impact, [...]

REVIEW: ORCHID VOLUME 1 TPB

REVIEW: ORCHID VOLUME 1 TPB

When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves.

Delve into the first chapter of Orchid, the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.
