Collectors, Stop Choking the Breath out of My Beloved Medium
Over at Comic Book Resources Greg Hatcher has written an article called “Friday in the Bank Vault.” However, it should really be titled “What is the Most Valuable Comic I Own.” He writes about comics he owns, some of them worth 20, 30, and even 88 dollars! Whoop-dee. No offense to Mr. Hatcher but I […]
New Comics Wednesday: Hack/Slash: My First Maniac #1
The popular indie is back. Tim Seely has moved his creation to Image after refusing to deal with Devil’s Due Comics any longer. This is the first issue of four in a short mini-series. Are Hack/Slash fans going to be satisfied?
New Comics Wednesday: Solomon Kane: Death’s Black Riders #4
I have been waiting for this–yeah, I think it is late. Solomon Kane is Robert E. Howard’s second most famous creation, after Conan. Instead of a barbarian, Solomon Kane is an puritanical Englishman from 300 years ago whose soul purpose, it seems, is to hunt evil. I did not know this when I read the […]
New Comics Wednesday: Buzzard #1
As The Goon is one of my favorite comic books, I looked forward to this comic book, Buzzard, with mixed feelings. I was unsure if Buzzard, who always seemed to be more of a serious character in The Goon, could carry his own book in writer/artist Eric Powell’s unique style. In addition, I was worried […]
300 Prequel: Xerxes Lithograph
Last year, Frank Miller announced that he was doing a prequel to 300. The prequel will focus on Xerxes, the king who would be a god. It is supposed to be a six issue mini-series that covers the life of the villain from 300. Can’t wait until next year? Miller and Dark Horse Comics have […]
X-Men Forever: 1 Year Anniversary
X-men Forever will have its first birthday next week and will be celebrating by issuing the first issue of the second volume. This is the comic book where Chris Claremont (the first regular writer of the “new” X-Men back in 1975 and the man primarily responsible for the X-Men’s success) transports readers back to 1991 […]
Serenity: Float Out
It is not often I make a mistake of this magnitude. I thought that I a huge comic book junkie and enthusiastic n00b to the world of Firefly/Serenity would be perfect to read Dark Horse Comics latest published outing into Josh Whedon’s future. This one is written by Patton Oswalt (yes, he must be a […]
I Kill Giants
One collected edition of note is I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura. In 2008, it was awarded “Best Indy Book of 2008” by IGN. Dan Kois (New York Magazine) put it in his top ten comics list for 2009. The Young Adult Library Services Association named it one of 2010’s “top […]
Ultimate Iron Man: Armor Wars
Originally, I wasn’t going to review Ultimate Iron Man: Armor Wars. The hardcover collected edition of the four issue mini-series came out in the middle of April. I wasn’t going to review it because after reading it, Armor Wars slipped from my mind fairly quickly. What’s that you say? A book by Warren Ellis did […]
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World – Trailer #2
Scott Pilgrim doing battle against 7 evil ex-boyfriends (one’s a girl, squeeee) in order to win the heart of his beloved Ramona? Win. What’s even cooler is that this trailer was posted because of the film’s staff listening to the voice of their audience.
Astro City: The Dark Age Book 4 #4
After typing the title, I re-read it and thought, “How could you not be confused by it?” For this Astro City saga, there have been four mini-series with four issues each, and this month marked the publication of the last issue. After five years of publication, The Dark Age comes to an end. We find […]
BPRD: King of Fear #5
I was a little confused about what this series, BRPD: King of Fear, was going to do. I thought it was going to bring some sort of resolution to the War on Frogs that has been the integral part of the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) since 2004. As Hellboy has left the […]
I, Zombie
Fan-favorite artist Mike Allred is back, with a new series someone else is writing: Chris Roberson. It is called I, Zombie. Yeah, not the most original title, but it does accurately describe the series. The first issue which is, as most of Vertigo first issues of new titles are, only$1.
King of Pain impressions: Issues #1 & 2
Here at WPR, we love our comics. I’ve been reading them since I was a kid, with a short break for college(when did comics get so dang expensive?). So this is the first time I’ve ever tried to do a comic book impression. For those of you that are expecting some deep analysis of the […]
Digital Comics from the Independents
There is a huge disparity between the two largest comic book companies when it comes to digital comics. Marvel has had digital comics for a few years now. Marvel has its own website for viewing older comics and newer comics for sale on iTunes. People have been wondering where DC’s digital comics are; if they […]
