To Honor Darwyn Cooke
Cancer steals those we love on an alarmingly regular basis. Some of those victims we love because they are friends or family; others we love because we admire their artistic ingenuity. Reports are breaking that we lost one such artist this morning – Darwyn Cooke. He was only 53. If you’re unfamiliar with Darwyn Cooke,…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – A Movie Review
I should explicitly state from the beginning that I am an unabashed Batman fanatic. I discovered him at the age of three and have loved every incarnation of him during the past thirty-six years. Furthermore, I’ve always leaned toward DC Comics, home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc. With all that being said, I…

Batman v Superman – Actions Have Consequences
After the initial trailer released for Batman v Superman, I felt excited. Very excited. But that excitement cannot compare to the sheer exuberance I experienced while watching the latest trailer the other day. Why so very enthusiastic? It’s not merely the sight of Wonder Woman in all her Amazonian glory. It’s not just watching Batman…

Keep the “Wonder” In Wonder Woman
Against my better judgement, I’m playing the old comic book fan card. You know the one: the “I’m quitting this comic because of a creative change!” Let me explain. A few years ago, DC Comics (sort of) rebooted their universe and called the (sort of) reboot “The New 52.” In the (sort of) new DC…

Wonder Woman: Iron by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang – A Book Review
In this third installment of The New 52’s Wonder Woman, Azzarello continues to infuse Greek mythology into the Wonder Woman mythos. Granted, her roots are in Greek lore, but I don’t believe any Wonder Woman writer has ever utilized the gods in such a dynamic fashion. I’ve said this before, but I have never read…

Wonder Woman: Guts by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang – A Book Review
Guts is the second volume of Wonder Woman’s New 52 iteration. Now, I have to admit, I’ve never particularly been a Wonder Woman fan. I mean, sure, as a young boy, I liked her just as much as the next young boy, but I never read her comics. But, when DC decided to (sort of)…

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder: Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
This book is absolutely insane, and I loved it! What we have here is a Batman story free of any previous or current continuity. Writer Frank Miller is taking Batman and starting his story from scratch. (Or is he? More on that later.) The Batman in this storyline is testosterone fueled, immature, and more than…

Justice League of America, Volume I: The Tornado’s Path – A Graphic Novel Review
Let’s just get this straight: I love the Justice League of America. I always have, and I always will. I loved the Detroit stories, I loved the “Bwah-ha-ha” era, I loved when Jurgens tried to get it more serious, and I loved it when Nuklon and Obsidian joined the team. When Morrison came along, I…

52: Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
I’ll admit it, I read every spoiler of this series on a weekly basis. I know how it ends, but even that did not diminish the sheer pleasure I derived in reading 52: Volume I. Reading the collected edition of this series cannot possibly mimic the experience of reading it on a weekly basis, but…

DC: The New Frontier, Volumes I and II – A Graphic Novel Review
Note: This review refers to DC: The New Frontier Volumes I and II. If you are a DC fan-I mean a hard core, DC or bust fan-you will love, and I mean LOVE DC: The New Frontier Volumes I and II. I remember seeing the first issue of this series when it came out in…
