CAGE! / JESSICA JONES / CLONE CONSPIRACY / DEATH OF X / MOONSHINE / GREEN VALLEY [Review]: We Are the ‘Champions’…

Luke Cage is back to his groovy origins with Marvel Now’s newest reboot Cage! (yes that exclamation point is part of the actual title). This time around, we have none other than Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Samurai Jack, here to provide both the writing and the art! His stylized art is absolutely perfect for the …

SHADE the CHANGING GIRL / BLACK / DEATH of HAWKMAN / INTERTWINED [Reviews]: It’s a Revolution!

IDW recently launched its Revolution series. Now, I don’t normally read IDW comics, but this crossover event seemed intriguing.

There are several callbacks to Jamie Delano’s original run …
