Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 Review

Talking Comics

Skip it. There are far better books that are part of the New 52 than this, and the sheer mediocrity of this series is testing my patience.

Supergirl #8 Review

Talking Comics

Buy it. There’s no doubt about it that Supergirl is the “Super” book to be reading. Pick it up and love it.

Saga #1 Review

Talking Comics

Buy the crap out of it… With Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples behind this story, you can’t and won’t go wrong in putting your money in their exceptionally capable...

Thief of Thieves #1 Review

Talking Comics

This is a “real world” story so you won’t find any superheroes or alternate universes, but if solid character development and emotional storytelling are your thing,...

Monocyte #3 Review

Talking Comics

Monocyte #3 is not just something to read but something to behold. Go find the other issues, get your thinking caps on, and read that sucker.

Fatale #3 Review

Talking Comics

Brubaker is a master of crime storytelling and over the course of only three issues he’s built up a story that I know I will stick with for the long haul.

The Manhattan Projects #1 Review

Talking Comics

If military and science fiction themes are your thing than you might want to give this a shot. I found that the characters were a little too rigid for my tastes and I’d...

The Incredible Hulk #5 Review

Talking Comics

The mystery behind who split Hulk and Banner has been solved, but apart from that, The Incredible Hulk #5 just isn’t very good.

Secret Avengers #22 Review

Talking Comics

This is an odd mix of promising storytelling and bad delivery.

Batman and Robin #6 Review

Talking Comics

This is the best issue of the series, includes some very emotional moments and historical revelations, and leaves readers counting the days for issue #7.

The Strange Talent of Luther Strode #5 Review

Talking Comics

The worst part about The Strange Talent of Luther Strode #5 is that we’re going to have to say goodbye to this great series after just one more issue.

Fatale #2 Review

Talking Comics

Fatale #2 is a marked improvement over its predecessor in almost every way. It retains its forward narrative motion while enriching its main players further than I had expected.

Static Shock #1 Review

Talking Comics

Have I read worse books? Absolutely. It may just be the pedigree of the other relaunched titles that give “Static Shock” an unfair advantage, but regardless, this is...

Batwoman #5 Review

Talking Comics

If you haven’t at the very least thumbed through an issue or two of Batwoman, then I urge you to do so right away.

Whispers #1 Review

Talking Comics

An absolute buy for anyone wanting to take a break from the norm and explore something a little fantastic, a little dangerous, and very frightening.

Green Lantern #5 Review

Talking Comics

It relies too much on the old and brings nothing exciting or new to the table. The action is suitably cool but its not enough to overcome an overall sub par book.

Demon Knights #4 Review

Talking Comics

It retains the over the top fantasy of the excellent first two issues while for the first time really giving you a character and mission to latch onto.

Mister Terrific #3 Review

Talking Comics

Mediocre writing filled with clichéd dialogue, characters pieced together from archetypes of better known (and better developed) heroes and nonsensical plot devices and...

Mister Terrific #2 Review

Talking Comics

While there’s nothing particularly offensive about Mister Terrific, the book does not in any way live up to its namesake.

Men of War #3 Review

Talking Comics

Perhaps my harshest criticism yet of this book is one I’ve felt since the very beginning; that this book feels more like someone trying to fulfill a quota than the exploration...
