So I picked up a bunch of Batman freebies. I'm not a huge Bats fan. I really only read him when Catwoman shows up because she's awesome. So - DCeased is basically the DC universe vs. zombies. It's an interesting idea but I didn't find it particularly "must know what happened next". The Bat...
After the first omnibus of The Mask, volume 2 is more of 'fillers' with some good stories, some not. As always, the formula of the stories aren't much different than the rest. Here's the low down of what's inside of volume 2: The Hunt for Green October - Every mercenary in the world is looking for t...
The real deal is the comic book version, not the movie adaptation. The movie was more of a friendly, nicer and fun comic with Jim Carreytaking the role of Stanley Ipkiss but for this original version, the comic takes place in characters that taken to wear the mask, and a more darker sinister approac...
This is apparently a reboot, but I couldn't tell. This integrated the old story so well that I didn't feel lost at all. Rathraq is back. God, scarecrow thing, something new? I'm not quite sure what he is, or if he's as good as he was before, but I'm very interested in finding out now!
I've done my fair share of ripping apart film adaptations over the years, even in cases of films I enjoyed, when the changes pushed on irreconcilable. Most recent examples of this can be seen in my recaps of The Hobbit as I do a chapter by chapter read-through, paired with the movies. Combine that...
More fantastic work from the 1940s Era of BPRD series. People complaining it's thrown together or characters aren't developed must have been watching TV and trying to read this at the same time. There's something in the works here. More Anders, more about these monster's origins and the Prof, but it...
Just a fantastic collection. The first half is really good, but the back half is just amazing. Harren goes all out for one of the best monster battles in comics, ever. Definitely recommend it even if you aren't caught up to this point, just to see his art.
The second volume of Batman: Black & White is much like the first. Editor Mark Chiarello gathers together some of the most acclaimed writers and artists who then produce short stories about The Dark Knight. While I didn’t find the overall experience as strong as the first collection, there were st...
I have posted a new review on my personal blog. Here is an excerpt. Feel free to click the link below to read the details. "For those not familiar with this series, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is the agency that Hellboy works for, and the B.P.R.D. comics are a spin-off of Hellboy...
