New Avengers #4 Review by Randy Young Hickman is flexing his creative muscles in his Avengers books. One of Hickman’s strengths is the ability to tell multiple stories, incorporating wild technology and concepts that the normal person has a very difficult time wrapping their brain around (just look at Spencer try to do this in … [Read more…]
Saga #11 Review by Randy Young This issue is one to remember. We have gotten to see the relationship between Marko and Alana via flashbacks. This issue we get to see the conception of little Hazel. Caution, the first page is quite a shocker as is the pillow talk that follows. Somehow, though, it doesn’t … [Read more…]
Wolverine #1 (2013) Review by Randy Young As much as I don’t like Wolverine and I didn’t want to like this issue, it’s off to a solid start. This is due in no small part to the duo of Paul Cornell and Alan Davis. Paul Cornell doesn’t give us anything new when it comes to … [Read more…]
The Walking Dead #108 Review by Randy Young Meet Ezekiel. He has a tiger. This issue has lots going on. Michonne and Carl are fighting walkers, Jesus and Rick meeting Ezekiel and a special someone doing something shocking and out of character. It’s just your average issue of The Walking Dead. Here are a few … [Read more…]
Uncanny X-Men #3 Review by Randy Young Three issues into Uncanny X-Men and we are now fully entrenched in Bendis’s classic “stand around talking all issue” that he’s become so (in)famous for.

Tomasi needed no words … [Read more…]
Avengers #7 Review by Randy Young The White Event is upon us. The beginning of this issue is confusing. I was a little annoyed with Jonathan Hickman for his overly complex story that was offering no insight into what exactly was going on. Then I got to page 14. Justice. Cipher. Spitfire. Starbrand. These names … [Read more…]
Helheim #1 Review by Randy Young Think a combination of Frankenstein and Vikings. That is what you get with this book.

Green Arrow #18 Review by Randy Young Oliver Queen wanted for murder! Only, we know he didn’t do it. How can he prove himself innocent? This issue is just as strong as Jeff Lemire’s premiere issue. Lemire has created a terrifying villain in Komodo. There is some sort of history there between Komodo and Queen’s … [Read more…]
Sex #1 Review by Randy Young Let’s talk about sex, baby. No, I’m not referring to the Salt ‘N’ Pepa song. I’m talking about the new series by Joe Casey. This book is about Simon Cooke, formerly the costumed crime fighter, The Armored Saint. Cooke is returning to Saturn City after disappearing some time ago. … [Read more…]
