And that my friends, is how you end a run. This might be one of the strongest endings to a run on a major character since Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's "If This Be My…
I find that when I read a Brian Michael Bendis comic (at least, his early work, that is), I'm getting a full crash course in comic book storytelling. While he does have…
"A man without hope is a man without fear." I pick on Frank Miller a lot, mainly because people give him the lion's share of credit for revitalizing Batman for the…
It was in this 1998 Daredevil series where Brian Michael Bendis began to kick off Marvel's revival as one of the powerhouses of mainstream sequential storytelling. He…
This arc reminds me of a conversation that my friend Tim and I had a few months ago, where we were talking about one of our mutual favorite comics Deadly Class. He said…
This one's for Dad. Jason Aaron and I have a few things in common: 1) we both love comic books, 2) we both love football, and 3) we both love crime fiction. So when…
If there's one thing you can count on Jason Aaron for, it's getting inside a character's head, and seeing what makes them tick. Many of the best parts from Aaron's…
I think that Image Comics has in all honesty become the new Vertigo Comics. They're putting out some truly boundary-pushing, unique comics that you might not expect…
"All good things must come to an end", as the old saying goes. Though I must say that I am saddened to get to the end of Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing run. Much…

Moore once joked that it was here where he accidentally created the Vertigo universe and imprint, and in many ways it's true. If it wasn't for Moore's contributions to…

It was quite surreal when I got the first collected book of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, also dubbed The Saga of The Swamp Thing. It was even more surreal reading it.…
"I believe in Harvey Dent." —Gilda Dent Belief is all that we have in this world. Gilda states her belief in her husband Harvey Dent, Gordon states his belief in law and…
Alan Moore is quite frankly an enigma, a man who has been described as many things: poet, bard, wizard, madman, yet, many of the greatest artists are known as madmen.…
Headless (2019) Written by Alexander Banchitta, Art by Robert Ahmed. I initially took interest in this book because the Headless Horseman tale was one of my favorites as…
