REVIEW: Punisher War Zone #1

Writer: Garth Ennis
Art: Steve Dillon
Colours: Matt Hollingsworth
Publisher: Marvel Comics

Garth Ennis should be the perfect writer for The Punisher. I say ‘should’ as, surprising as it seems given how important Frank Castle was to my early comic book education (and also knowing what a great fit Ennis is with this type of violent story), Punisher: War [...]

The Gold Standard #19

You know what book I’ve had a major league hard on for lately? The Immortal Iron Fist. If I had been writing this column last year, you definitely could have expected to see it in the running for book of the year (however, Captain America would have kicked it’s ass, but it was all Bru [...]

Capsule Reviews, 12/19/08

This week, a number of smaller books like Ex Machina and Age of Sentry. I also brave the dreaded Bendis, Slott finishes up on Avengers: Intiative, and Walking Dead comes out yet again this month!

I think I read too many books.

Who’s Who in the DCU

The column also tackles not only Gog, but various other Old Gods plus settles the Fire vs Ice debate. Oh, you know you’re curious.

Cool?

The Gold Standard #18

Sorry about how late last week’s was up, I put it up for review a day late and it took almost a week to get it up! Lesson learned, and I hope you regular readers won’t hold it against me! Totally not my intention, and I have no real control over when something actually gets [...]
