Loyal Content Consumer, Iâd like to start out this week by apologizing for an error that was brought to my attention by my colleague Cori McCreery. In my review of Tidalwave Productionsâ Tribute: Rush Limbaugh, I offered a script for my own Rush bio comic that was fundamentally flawed and tragically incomplete. Iâd like to…
GOLD SILVER BRONZE After being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker went from fairly ordinary high school student to having the proportionate abilities of an arachnid.

I think this review has to start with the solicit for Orphan and the Five Beasts: Spurred on by her masterâs dying words, the adopted warrior âOrphan Moâ seeks to find and kill five former disciples who now threaten the land with corruption from their demonic powers. Part Five Deadly Venoms and part surreal grindhouse,…

I love the Marvel Handbooks. Really, any sort of reference guide to fictional universes is my jam, as they combine my affection for big, sprawling, narrative mythologies, history books, and pedantry. Back in the Olden Times, the first iteration of the Marvel Handbooks (specifically, the second, deluxe, edition) was my guide to a Marvel Universe…
Weâve been pretty rough on DC lately. Maybe it was all those layoffs. Maybe itâs Watchmen fatigue. Maybe itâs all those comic shops that have complained about not getting their UCS/Lunar books on time. Maybe it was the Fandome virtual pep rallies (although to be fair, weâre out on virtual cons in general). Maybe itâs…
