The release I have on hand today is an incredibly fun animated show featuring the Man...

I’m picking on the Buy Pile column a little bit, maybe a lot today, but Hannibal is an outspoken kind of guy and he can certainly sure defend himself. In this week’s column he says “The "Meh" Pile Not good enough to praise, not bad enough to insult, not important enough to say much more than the title. "Sky Doll: Doll Factory" #1, "Anchor" #2, "X-Force"...

Sadly, the majority of headlines that Cage has been generating these days have not been for his punching prowess while wearing a bear suit or his intense hatred of bees , but rather his recent stretch...

After last week's respite this could be another big week - which means the Purge continues! Action Comics #883 - Like I've said, I'm sticking with the Superman books. The Reactron crossover was, surprisingly, pretty good so I hope that trend continues. Batgirl #4 - Like Steph, like Babs - not going anywhere. Batman & Robin #6 - This is still pretty entertaining and has yet to transition into the...
