• The Question emerges

    ***SPOILERS*** You can catch up on our faceless hero by reading my last post on The Question. So now The Question has made a more fleshed out appearance so to speak in the pages of Phantom Stranger #5. While The Phantom Stranger battles The Spectre over the disappearance of Stranger’s adopted family. The Question appears…


  • Review of Superior Spider-Man #1

    For the story so far check out my review of Amazing Spider-Man #700 and yes here there be spoilers. I really liked this issue. I love how the Doc Ock controlled Spider-Man was not only annoyed that someone else would dare call themselves the Sinister Six but how effectively he dealt with them and how…


  • Review of Amazing Spider-Man 700: Peter Parker dies

    I know what you’re saying. “Trench. two comic posts in a row? Have you gone insane?” Possibly but that’s beside the point. Every once in a while a comic book makes mainstream news. The last time it was Action Comics #900 when Superman supposedly renounced his American citizenship. This time it’s Amazing Spider-Man 700, the…


  • Comic of Last Week: Deathmatch #1

    Yeah, I know. Most people don’t like my comics posts but tough titties. If there’s a comic out there that I think deserves attention I’m going to post about it and such a comic came out last week. That comic was Deathmatch #1 by Boom Studios. It’s a truly amazing comic. 32 of Earth’s mightiest…


  • The Return of The Question?

    ***NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SPOILERS*** I know. I haven’t been blogging about comics in a while. There’s a couple of reasons for that. The first is that my regular crime readers aren’t that interested in comics. That’s cool. No worries there. The other is that because of my real-world responsibilities I no longer…


  • Comic of the Week: Justice League #7

    Not for the main story which shows Steve Trevor as a congressional liaison to the Justice League which I did think was clever. But no, it’s comic of the week because of the picture above, the return of Captain Marvel, or Shazam as he’s now being called. And I didn’t like this issue just because…


  • DC Comics The New 52: Week 26…I think

    I haven’t been doing these posts in the past few weeks because there was really nothing to talk about. However, since this is week 26 that marks the halfway point in the year for The New 52 and I wanted to do sort of a brief state of the union kind of post on The…


  • Review of Captain America: The First Avenger

    So far this was the best on-screen adaptation for Captain America. I know that’s not saying much but still. All in all, it was ok. I liked the new take on the Cap/Bucky relationship with Bucky being the mentor instead of Cap. My main concern with this movie is that just about the entire cast…


  • Review of Action Comics #900: Superman renounces US citizenship

    There was a minor kerfuffle recently when the news came out that in the comics Superman was going to renounce his US citizenship. This outraged some as Supes is supposed to stand for truth, justice, and the American way. I’ll have to admit even I had a modicum of outrage over this. That was until…
