We Will Bury You #1 review

We Will Bury You #1 review I was already looking forward to Choker when I walked into the comic book shop, so the Templesmith-esque cover of We Will Bury You from IDW caught my eye. The zombie cover, that is actually from the pencil of Ben Templesmith, is the highlight of the issue. The story takes place in 1927 and the form-fitting collared shirt and pants outfit of our dykie heroin Fanya seem completely... [Read more]

Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island

Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1 review One glance at the cover of Warren Ellis and Raulo Caceres’ Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island and I was hooked.

Days Missing #1 review

Its tagged with “Roddenberry Presents” so I thought it would be an interesting sci-fi story. The cover and back were sharp and the concept seemed original. Was it worth a buck? Buck, no! Comic industry veterans Phil Hester and... [Read more]

The updated pull list

A few months back Rick and Ray went through a purging of the pull list (chronicled in podcast episode #15). We knocked a bunch of titles off, but with The Siege, Pilot Season and a seemingly ever widening array of Batman comics, the list is gaining weight again. Are we missing anything? Here’s our latest: ABSOLUTION ALIENS ALL NEW SAVAGE SHE-HULK ARKHAM REBORN BATMAN BATMAN AND ROBIN BATMAN ANNUAL BATMAN... [Read more]
