In 2005 the rights to Valiant Comics and all of its characters were purchased by a pair of entrepreneurs who wanted to see their favorite comics live again. Among them was my favorite of the bunch: Bloodshot. Bloodshot returned in the summer of 2012 or rather it was rebooted (to use a popular term…Read more

Comic Book Review: Star Wars Lando #1
With the ending of the Princess Leia mini-series line, we now get the Lando line. Yes, in the films he is a sub-character but his story is important and many people like his antics. This first issue is full of information about Lando and how he gets the reputation that follows him through out the…Read more
Comic Book Review: X-Men #1
One of the biggest comic book events I had the exciting pleasure to live during was the restarting of X-Men at issue number one under the helm of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee. It was October 1991, and the haphazard trend of rebooting comic titles hadn’t yet been a trend. The comic wasn’t being…Read more
Comic Book Review: The Adventures of The 19XX
I recently came into possession of a comic book that is a real treat. It began as (and continues to be) a web-comic that was later printed into a full volume. The writer/ creator of this independent work, Paul Roman Martinez, presents a world that explores actual events and people in the 1930’s and adds…Read more
Comic Book Review : Prophet Part 2
In 2012, nearly twenty years after the debut of the original Prophet comic book, Image Comics announced his return. The comic book would be part re-imagining and part continuation beginning with issue #21. At the time of this announcement, I had no idea what to expect. Perhaps it would be simply more of what…Read more

Comic Book Review: The Rise
If you’re like me, then you like to change up the genres of comic books that you read from time to time. I don’t always go for just super-heroics. Sometimes I just want straight out action/adventure. The indie comic that I was fortunate to find recently has that and a lot more. “The Rise” is…Read more
Comic Book Review: Black Widow #1
Ok, now I admit that I should have been reading this series when it first came out but well I was more focused on other comics. Now that I have started the series I can not stop reading it! In fact after reading the first 2 issues of Black Widow, I quickly went out and…Read more
Comic Book Review: Spawn #1
While growing up, there was a limit… only a certain type of comic that I had been exposed to. These comic books were purely superhero in nature. I only knew of hero’s with their symbols worn across their chest that battled the traditional larger than life villains over and over again. Then something changed. …Read more
Comic Book Review: Morning Star
Paradise Lost is a 17th century epic poem that tells the story of the fall of man and their expulsion from the “Garden of Eden.” In that story, Satan who is the leader of all the fallen angels in Hell tempts Adam and Eve. Most people might be aware of how it is said that…Read more
