BLACK BOLT / BANE CONQUEST / JEAN GREY / ETERNAL WARRIOR / BATMAN / SECRET EMPIRE [Reviews]: Buy Comic Book Day!

It isn't too often that a novelist transitions into writing comics, so I always find it interesting to see what their initial output is like. Last year we had an example of someone making a near seamless transition, when Ta-Nehisi Coates made his debut on Black Panther. This time, Saladin Ahmed, in his comics debut, …

COMIKAZE ’14: It’s Stan Lee vs….BANE!??!!?

Last week may have been all about Thor, but it could have been partially about Bane, too. You, see last week your very own Bishop Zom nearly dominated the podcast ranks until that inner venom took over. And who could blame him... In more ways than one, Comikaze 2014 started off with a bang as my …

ARKHAM ORIGINS [Podcast]/AMAZING X-MEN #1 [Review]: Creatures of the Knight!

It’s been nearly three long and hardened years since the Demon Deacon swung his tail and babbled religious banter with foil in hand. Has the comic world really missed this so-called heart of the X-Men? Do we really need a fifth Mutant title in an already "All-New" bloated line? These are just some of the …

BATMAN – ARKHAM ORIGINS [Review]: ‘Twas the Dark Knight before…

Where's my Batmobile? Do I honestly have to go back to Super Nintendo to get it? It's nice that Batman -- this time a more youthful, seemingly stronger, nearly goateed Batman, mind you -- has a nifty Batwing aircraft that allows him to fast travel throughout the near vacant streets of Gotham City. But, wouldn't …

INJUSTICE: A God Among Fighting Games

When I first had the chance to demo Injustice: Gods Among Us at E3 last year, I was almost sure this was Mortal Kombat with a mere DC superhero skin. Boy, was I wrong. There are so many elements to this fighter that make this one different than any other; and, with as many hours …

The [Bat Week]ly Worship: Gotham’s Latest Reckoning!

Anyone else go back, read some old Batman (or Secret Six) tales and think of Tom Hardy's intoxicatingly muffled parlance when reading Bane's dialogue? Didn't think so. Well, try it! It's more fun this way, if you dare. We last saw Bane heading to Arkham in a Gotham PD paddywagon after Six scribe Gail Simone sent (forced, perhaps) the rest …
