The really bad news first: it has somehow, implausibly, gruesomely, been 10 years since 2015. I know.

I am far from the first person to say that 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1 changed the game. Len Wein and Dave Cockrum introduced some of the X-Men’s biggest mainstays, including Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus (a minor Hulk character by the name of Wolverine also made his way onto the team). These All-New, All-Different X-Men have…
The character of Frank Reynolds, immortalized by Danny DeVito on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, once implored his fellow barmates Mac and Dennis, “Do not go on a manhunt.” Naturally, they didn’t listen.

Who doesn’t love a robot dog? Rush from the Mega Man games, K9 from Doctor Who, GIR from Invader Zim. Robot dogs are just metal friends. But what this comic posits is, what if robot dogs were EVIL? This isn’t the first time we’ve seen these dog Sentinels. They’ve been tested in Alex Paknadel and…
On Jan. 26, my local comic shop will close for good. “18 years is a long time to do anything, really, and after that long we simply do not have the fire in our hearts that we once did to give it everything it needs,” the owners of Level Up Entertainment in Mays Landing, New…
