I really liked the Thor movie, but had no idea where to start in Thor comics. There's a lot of continuity to worry about there. The Mighty Avenger is perfect for people like me, who like the character but don't want to figure out how over 40 years of backstory is influencing the storyline. The premi...
The Jane Foster of this series is for all intents and purposes a brand new character. The only similarities between her and the old Jane Foster is her name and a connection to Thor. Jane reminds me of Sue Dibney in the way she becomes a full partner with her superhero boy friend; so in a way I'm g...
Langridge's Thor reminds me of the old Batman Adventures series in a good way. Characters are reduced to their essential natures without over simplifying them. It is light and fun and free of the myth that a superhero comic has to be dark and grim to be taken seriously.
'Machine of Death's premise is pretty great, inspired by a Dinosaur Comics gag, its about a world where a device with only a blood sample will predict how you will die. The stories all share the same premise, but don't adhere to a single universe, which helps keep the collection from getting repetit...
I usually rate the stories in an anthology individually, but I'm not going to this time because there are so many (34), they're all short (won't gain anything by skipping any) and I think it's best served by one rating. I do wish the author names had been at the beginning of each story instead of ju...
It usually takes me a very long time to get through an anthology simply because anthologies don't have a narrative through-line. Machine of Death doesn't really, either. Technically, most of the stories take place in slightly different versions of the same universe. To employ a bad music metaphor, t...
I love this book, not just for its cool premise (it's a book of short stories about what life would be like if there was a machine that could predict the way you would die - but not when, or how), but also for the fact that due to a massive online effort it managed to hit #1 on Amazon, beating out G...
So I’m not sure how many of you followers are fans of webcomics. I would say I enjoy them quite a bit, I casually read a few – I’ll let their archives build for a month or two then read them all in one day but I routinely read two of them. I cannot start my day without reading Questionable Content (...
