Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray are accomplished, and underrated writers. They’ve proven their skill over the years on titles such as Jonah Hex and Radical’s Time Bomb. Here, however the result is underwhelming, at least for readers who know who Ragman is. The classic DC Comics character has seen a slight resurgence recently, and that’s [...]
1990′s Captain America Film
It’s actually not as bad as I thought. Starring Matt (son of famed author J.D) Salinger and based on the star spangled Marvel comics hero, things kick off immediately, with the Nazis taking a young boy from his family, and subjecting him to some kind of experiment involving electricity and an eye mask. Weirdly, all [...]
Susan Storm: Superhero Sandwich Maker
In this week’s issue of FF (that’s Future Foundation, spinning out of Fantastic Four) Invisible Woman displays perhaps the most practical use of superpowers ever seen – making sandwiches. I’m not sure if that’s somewhat awesome, or just plain lazy. Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Barry Kitson (a nice surprise to see his [...]

Boba Beats Predator
According to a poll on Dark Horse’s site, Boba Fett would beat a Predator, or so 66% of voters believe. I find the outcome of this battle to be dubious.
Green Arrow #12 Preview
Below is a preview of this week’s issue of Green Arrow. The monumental conclusion to BRIGHTEST DAY occurred in the Star City’s forest. With the re-emergence of Swamp Thing, the forest’s role was no longer clouded with mystery. But what does that reveal mean for Oliver Queen, Galahad, Etrigan the Demon, and the others who [...]
Ultimate Comics X #5 Preview
Art Adams just doesn’t do enough interior art these days and although I’m not a huge fan of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe, I have been picking up this series, mainly for Adam’s art, although Jeph Loeb’s story ain’t too shabby either.

Green Lantern Narration Trailer
Green Lantern opens next month. Awesome. Here’s the latest trailer for the DC Comics starring movie. This one is narrated by Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean) in his role as Tomar-Re.
