Last time, the crew of the Quin Zaza managed to bring down an epic dragon: The Descender! Now they’re ready to party with the locals, the Malotao, to commemorate the occasion. A night of fun, fashion, and furious revelry is had by all with the morning giving way to the all-new spectacle of a horde […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Adventures of Superman: The Book of El “Superman: The Warworld Saga” didn’t just collect writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s three-volume epic, it also collected his “Future State” work with Superman and other comics that established his take on the House of El’s far future status. That stuff was surprisingly great for being a non-canon […]
The prequel miniseries were fine. The first volume was okay. The second volume was a big step in the right direction as it offered more character, promising setups, and payoffs on previous setups than we’d seen from this side of the Energon Universe yet. That boded well for what was set to kick off in […]
In the previous volume, Kylo Ren was promised power by a former servant of his grandfather, Darth Vader. This servant, Vanee, had Kylo travelling across the galaxy revisiting people and places significant to his ancestor, but not getting any closer to what he wanted. Maybe that will change once he meets with Tava Ren, the […]
Park Ranger Marie Burgau was lucky. Whatever was in the food or drink at her station’s most recent barbecue that caused her co-workers to go real crazy, she didn’t have any of because she’s pregnant. Unfortunately, that meant when the local crime boss came knocking to pick up her lackeys and look for help finding […]
Two friggin’ years! That’s how long we’ve had to wait for this volume. Not that we needed to as this volume originally came out back in 2024 in Japan. However, because I can only assume that “Wave” doesn’t do top-tier numbers for publisher Kodansha, it took that extra year for vol. 11 to arrive out […]
Uri Tupka is a heretic. That’s what happens to theologians who speak truth to power and tell their emperor that the hundred-foot, solid gold goat statue they’re building might not be very pious. He then finds himself on the run and in the company of a hermit who had an encounter with an unknowable thing. […]
Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed a couple of things about the third volume of “Battle Action” from Garth Ennis and company after it was released last year. Despite being initially serialized as a ten-issue miniseries, it only collected nine of them (and was thinner than the previous five-issue volume). It also featured only two contributions […]
Did you know that there are actually two undersea races in the DC Universe? There’s the Atlanteans, who are ruled by Aquaman, and the Tritonians, mer-people ruled by King Ronal – who is married to Superman’s old friend Lori Lemaris. Both races are now facing an outbreak of a disease that’s turning them all feral, […]
He’s under the tutelage of Jin “The Cat Whisperer” Nekoya. He has his own cat, Tiger. He’s even got a part-time job at a cat cafe. What’s left for Kensuke to experience in terms of expressing his love for cats? Why, starting a cat club at his school, of course. He’ll need at least three […]
