REVIEW – The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men #1
Of all the comics in the New 52, there has been none that has jumped on and off and on and off and on and off and on my buy list more than The Fury of Firestorm. The key conflict … Continue reading
REVIEW: I, Vampire #1
And to think, at first I wasn’t even going to get I, Vampire. Amidst all the DC Dark titles unveiled as part of the DC Relaunch back in June, I, Vampire stood out as one comic I definitely had zero … Continue reading

REVIEW: Wonder Woman #1
I’ve never really been a Wonder Woman fan. She’s a character I’ve certainly been interested in and curious about at various points, but never enough to actually buy a Wonder Woman comic. All the same, I can’t help but root … Continue reading
