This is one of the comics that makes me love comics. Wolverine is a collection of Wolverine’s first solo series. It was written and illustrated by comic titans Chris Claremont (Days of Future Past) and Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil). The writing is terse and largely comprised of Wolverine’s stream of thought. The art is simple yet moody. As Claremont explains in the introduction, the book elevates Wolverine from an animalistic berserker to a complete and compelling character. While I love Hugh Jackman […]
Introducing Joker(TM) Hot Topic
“Something, something Joker doesn’t have a face, something something Batman is so Edgy and Dark, something, something it’ll be AWESOME!” –Creative notes scrawled on a crumpled napkin by a DC exec during a coked-out party.
Save Yourself
About a year ago, I asked what comics I should look for during my first comic book store shopping experience. ElCicco suggested Princeless, an Eisner Award nominated series published by the company her husband co-owns. At the time, I had a certain amount of dollars and a long list, so Princeless didn’t make it to the register. It’s been on my list ever since. I was delighted to find I could read Vol. 1 for free on ComiXology Unlimited. I highly recommend seeking it out. Princess […]
Red Sonja Can Wear What She Wants
The first thing you will notice about the cover is that Red Sonja has gone into battle in a bikini. Ah, the amazingly protective battle bikini. There is one reason that I am reading Red Sonja – Gail Simone. She did not disappoint me. Gail Simone’s Red Sonja is fierce and grumpy. Simone leans in to the ridiculous bikini armor early so that when she gets into the story, you aren’t thinking about it. Somehow, even with the bikini battle armor, Simone’s Red Sonja is […]
Joining the Family/Family Fight Night
I’ve got a ComiXology Unlimited free trial so there will be a lot of comic book reviews from me in the next few days. Lazarus Volume 2: Lift expands the world and shows us some important moments in Forever’s training. The issues collected in this volume revolve around joining the Family, and what it means to be Waste. We open with Forever as a child training to be a Lazarus. Her father visits and hangs the threat of being disowned over her head if she isn’t […]
Family First
When Lazarus opens, we see a woman being shot with a description of where each bullet hits her body and the damage it inflicts. She looks dead. The woman is Forever Carlyle, Lazarus to the Carlyle family, and she cannot be killed. She kills the three men who tried to kill her, but expresses sadness because they were just looking for food. This is of concern, because the power structure won’t last if the enforcer is questioning the structure. In the future, states have disappeared […]
