Tiger-men are cool. Whether itâs Prince Tuften of Kamandi, Shere Khan from Talespin or Bronze Tiger when he wears that mask, thereâs something about a human/tiger hybrid that strikes fear in the heart of pretty much anybody and inspires awe in the others. And now, a new Tiger-man has joined their ranks. Blighter is a…
Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC comics come out Tuesdays, everything else Wednesdays. Karenâs Pick: Immortal Hulk #50: And so we journey through the Green Door one last time to say goodbye to the Hulk, his many facets, Jackie McGee and all the rest in this giant-sized finale…
Douglas Wolk has been reading Marvel comics since before Kate Pryde met the X-Men, but he began his adult life as a pop music critic, editor of a music magazine, and author of a very good book on James Brown. After relocating from the nationâs comics capital, New York City, to the nationâs other comics…
Peacekeeper-01 is out of control, and only the new, even more extreme Peacekeeper-X can bring him in. Or can he? Batman #114 features a lead story written by James Tynion IV, drawn by Jorge Jimenez, colored by Tomeu Morey and lettered by Clayton Cowles. And in the backup, Clownhunterâs âFear Stateâ adventure wraps up in…
Super Metroid is a perfect video game but that thrives on a single feeling, isolation. You are Samus Aran, a bounty hunter on a mission behind enemy lines on the planet Zebes. The closest thing to a friendly face you see is a singular corpse sitting, rotting; a warning to turn back before you face…
The thing about Benjamin Percy, the thing I appreciate most, is that he knows what he is doing. In the hands of a lesser writer, Krakoa having a CIA would be considered a good thing. Percy is writing about the grime, the messy business of nation building. He also knows that this is a superhero…
There are more comics about alternate versions of Batman than of any other hero in the DC Universe, if not all of comics. And so, this week, Matt and Will are going to take a trip through three tales of Dark Knights of different eras and origins. Batman: Gotham by Gaslight Batman: Holy Terror Superman:…
Champions #10 written by Danny Lore, art by Luciano Vecchio, color art by Federico Blee, letters by Clayton Cowles. All things, good, bad, and otherwise end, eventually. Ending is a certainty. What is not certain is if those things will be memorable; whatâs unknown is if we should care. Champions #10 is the swan song…
Itâs time for some Hard Lessonsâ but whoâs teaching who? Find out in New Mutants #22, written by Vita Ayala, art by Rod Reis, letters by Travis Lanham. Liz Large: This! Issue! Is! Wonderful! I know we say this a lot, but WOW, the Ayala/Reis combo is outdoing themselves every single issue and I simply…
Where do you go when you die? Kat, a stoner with a flexible moral code, can answer that, and the answer is: not very far. Unfortunately for Kat’s peace of mind, a near-death experience has left her with the ability to see and hear ghosts, as well as take them into her “mindscape” so she…
On October 2nd 2019, the very first episode of AEW Dynamite was broadcast on TNT. The main event of that night featured a six man tag match between the Elite, Santana & Ortiz and then-World Champion Chris Jericho. The match begins very reminiscent of traditional Elite matches of the ye fabled olden times, condensed into…
Orange Cassidy video essay: — Weird Finishes, Rancid Crowds and Draft Days. Join us as we discuss Extreme Rules, The WWE Draft and what the hell was going on in that AEW Crowd. Video thumbnail photo courtesy of All Elite Wrestling.
My records are spotty â and my memory spottier â but Iâve interviewed AHOY Comicsâ Grand Poobah-in-Chief Tom Peyer at least seven times counting this here piece. Why so often? Like the publisherâs line, heâs a balm for a cantankerous soul, a decidedly unique character in the world of the funny pages. This particular episode…
Every week, the call goes out to the ComicsXF Slack, a call for our writers, editors, site designers and managers to submit their favorite, individual panels of the week. Every week, someone cheats or tries to bend the rules. This week is no exception, but we celebrate the rule breakers and benders with this weekâs…
Dr. Anna Peppard, co-host of the podcasts Oh Gosh, Oh Golly, Oh Wow! and Three Panel Contrast and writer for ComicsXF, tells Dan and Matt why the Silver Surfer is one of her favorite characters in comics (though “son” is probably not applicable in this instance). You can listen to WMQ&A on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud,…
