I’ve said before that I enjoy stories filled with action and suspense that don’t necessarily have anything to do with super-heroics. I’ve recently come by an indie comic that has both of these qualities but it doesn’t stop there. The comic is action packed literally from the very first panel to all the way to…Read more

Comic Book Review: Star Wars #7
I know is has been awhile since my first Star Wars review but wanted to circle back to them. For this review, I will be reflecting on issue #7. This is an important issue to the series so far. ( Yes, I know there are 8 issues out but the 8th issue has not…Read more
Comic Book Review: Divinity
What I’m reading now: Divinity. I figure that it’s about time to take a look at something that I’m reading right now. Of course, I wouldn’t pick anything randomly. It’s always something that inspires me. Right now that book is Divinity. I just finished the first volume collection and I really enjoyed what I read….Read more
Comic Book Review : BloodShot Part 2
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

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 : Prophet Part 1
When Image Comics first came on the scene, it brought with it an explosion of talent and new creative material. I was able to see it happen first hand. There were a lot of titles to choose from that had interesting stories. One such comic was written and created by one of the powerhouse talents…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
