Ignore the contrived crossover that lead to this. Forget it ever happened. Erase it out of your memory. What you have left can be described in just one word. Kickass.Breakout can be summarised as Setup leading to Fight leading to Team. A three step process to forming the new Avengers (Or should that be New Avengers? Nevermind). A team that comprises of Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man,

Sometimes I just want to get to work on Grant Morrison with a pair of scissors."Orqwith." Really? "The City of Bone, the City of Miracles... has spread like ripples in a pond from one central point - the Quadrivium (is that even a word? - ed. i.e. me) which is itself the terrestrial image of the Gods of the Crossroads."Do you feel stupid? Like you can never understand just what the heck he's

I had been pretty curious to read Prey ever since I'd heard about it. However, I only bought the book a few months back, and never got around to reading it, until now. I don't know why I waited so long, because I'm surprised by how quickly this novel hooked me. I started it today morning, around 11, and now, five hours and one visit to the doctor later, I'm done.This is a book about a

I was going to post this about two weeks back, but the operation and net disconnection ensured that wouldn't happen as planned.Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to make a list of all the comics that I buy every month and post it here. They're all published by Gotham Entertainment, and since they're the only ones who bring us any comics at all, I've decided to overlook the fact that ocassionally

I wish Warren Ellis would realise that he's writing for a comic, and not a movie. The slow, deliberate pace of Iron Man #2, coupled with the absolutely lack of any sound effects makes me feel that I'm watching a movie with the volume on mute, and subtitles on. That's not a particularly good feeling. This is quite similar to his Ultimate Secret #1, with the first few pages having some dialogues

Somewhere in the beginning of the story, Cassie makes an observation : "Slashers love a good ironic kill... The smoker gets burned alive, the slut gets stuffed in the outhouse toilet, the cook serves the students as school lunch... Killing the horror writer in the shower, "Psycho" style... Well, it doesn't get more ironic than that."And that love of irony seems to be the primary motivating factor

Taking Blood of the Demon #1 as an example, I came across a fair bunch of characters whom I'd never read about before. Yet, I found the book to be pretty easy to get into, and quite accessible. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Ultimate Secret #1.The silver guy in the lead, his armour has quite a striking design. But, just who is he? Reading the book, I'd never have found out. Thanks to the

What an insufferable bastard. Mark Millar has turned the usually lovable Captain America into an arrogant, self-righteous prick. And the man who should really be the one with all the ego, the man who believes himself to be a bloody God, for crying out loud, is the peace-loving, quite one. And he is about to pay.The Ultimates have been ordered to take down Thor for his refusal to toe the line. The

John Byrne revamps the Demon! This was something I'd been looking forward to, and I must say I wasn't disappointed. It's a very action oriented issue, quite graphically violent at that, and it's setting itself up for a great story.It's a pretty accessible issue. There's a quick two page recap of Etrigan's origin in the beginning, something very rare among the six-issue origin books of today. The

So Bruce Campbell is now a comic book writer. This is cool, the man seems to have a real sense of humour, judging from his various interviews. And yes, BMW Film's The Hire - Precious Cargo was written by him, and not some other bloke with the same name. He's writing a 6-issue comic, adapted from the script of Man with the Screaming Brain, his latest movie. It tells the story of "a wealthy

I just read Rich Johnston's new column at HeroRealm, where he will review one comic a week. He starts with Mark Waid and Barry Kitson's Legion of Superheroes #2. Somewhere in between, while talking about the Legion's motives, Johnston comes up with an interesting point. He says that civilization, where comfort is taken for granted, produces brats. While that is entirely possible, he further

Hah, you have got to read about this. Alek Komarnitsky's attempts to spread Christmas cheer totally snowballed out of hand. The brouhaha here.And read the various emails received before, and after, he let the cat out of the bag.He also has a page where he's tracked the media coverage, before, and after, the hoax was revealed.edit: - Alek believes these Christmas light videos would be pretty funny

Seems like everyone's talking about these two books. And really, how can they not, when We3 and JLA:Classified have one of the strongest closing issues around... I wasn't a big We3 fan, even after reading the first two issues. Morrison's tale of runaway animals seemed fairly engrossing, but it wasn't what I was expecting. Quitely I never was a big fan of. His experimental art here was a very
