Boom Studios CEO and founder Ross Richie continues to plunge his metaphorical sword into the hopes of Image Comics' publisher Eric Stephenson to win The Kieron Gillen Wars of 2019, the Marvel vs DC-esque rivalry for the affections of writer Doctor Kieron Gillen between the two companies Boom is publishing Once & Future while Image[...]

In Kieron Gillen's run on the Xbooks, he emphasised the high-arch aspect of Mister Sinister, giving us many Sinisters cloned from the original performing menial services, and embracing the ridiculousness of it all. In yesterday's Powers Of X #4, Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz took that even further, presenting a gossipy, camp, even-more-ridiculous Mister Sinister, including his[...]

While we reported that the (friendly?) Marvel vs DC-esque feud between Boom Studios and Image Comics to see who could launch the better-selling Kieron Gillen series (dubbed "The Kieron Wars" by, well, me) had escalated further with the sixth printing of Once & Future #1 But it looks like the hit series from Doctor Kieron[...]

The war of words between Boom Studios and Image Comics over bragging rights to the relative performances of ongoing series Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans, and limited series Once And Future by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora.

And they brought a couple of friends to talk about Once & Future, Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora. They met an enthusiastic retailer reception, and Kieron Gillen kept thanking the room for their undying support, in what Bleeding Cool contributor Joshua Stone told me was far too quick an English accent to transcribe But apparently, Gillen[...]

But in a shocking move Tuesday, explosive publisher BOOM! Studios announced a novel plan that could turn the entire industry on its head: what if we tried to sell comics to readers? Partnering with retailer point-of-sale system ComicHub, BOOM! will target actual readers in an attempt to convince them to buy copies of Kieron Gillen and[...]

In the writer's notes for The Wicked + The Divine #42, Kieron Gillen describes a moment in the issue as a fist-pumping moment He's right One of Chekov's guns finally goes off, and Ananke (though mind controlling Woden's Valkyries) kills Woden The team executes the violence well Woden's faceplate is cracked, punctured and broken into[...]

Kieron Gillen (Warhammer: Crown Of Destruction, The Wicked + The Divine) billed this as a state of the nation of superhero comics and well…Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt #1 (January 2019) is a superhero comic in the vein of the Authority (May 1999), with a lot of nods to Watchmen (September 1986) If he truly believes this[...]

Writer Kieron Gillen and artist Stephanie Hans have teamed up for a new creator-owned comic at Image called Die The book follows a group of adults who, as D&D playing teenagers, mysteriously disappeared for two years and refused to talk about what happened Whatever it was, it's coming back to haunt them now[...]

Marvel's Star Wars comic reaches its 50th issue, as the Rebel Alliance finally rallies a fleet to the cause. Is it a good read?

WicDiv is a great series, and Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie make for an excellent team However, it's hard to ignore that this is half a comic for $3.99 US. The Wicked + The Divine #37 art by Jamie McKelvie and Matthew Wilson McKelvie and Matthew Wilson do good work once again when they're, you know, actually contributing[...]

Superman Special #1 and A Walk Through Hell #1 make the cut, while The Wicked + The Divine #36 and Cold War #4 don't fare so well. Check out our best and worst five comics of the week.

The Wicked + The Divine follows up on the revelations about Ananke, Minerva, and Baal while showing the further history of this cycle. Does it make for a good read?

Wicked + Divine amps up the mystery of Anenke and Minerva while Persephone and the Norns escaping from Woden. Is it a good read?

It centers around one such information courier named Jack as he battles the world's worst forces to do his job. Isola #1 cover by Karl Kerschl Isola #1 Another new Image series, this time from the creative team of Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl, and MSASSYK. The story centers around a royal guard retinue trying to save their queen from an island called[...]

Matthew Wilson's color art is as wild and eye-catching as ever, with the dazzling color palette always being one of my favorite things about the art of this series. The Wicked + The Divine #34 isn't one of the high points of the series, but, with Kieron Gillen's solid writing and fantastic dialogue, it's still far[...]

Plus, it's from the talented Kieron Gillen and Daniel Gete I've long intended to check this on out, and I recommend others do the same.

Chewbacca is en route with an important parcel. Star Wars #41 cover by David Marquez and Matthew Wilson This may be pointing out the obvious at this point, but it continues to be impressive how much Kieron Gillen really understands the main characters of Star Wars Luke is uncertain yet upstart Han is cocky and reckless but[...]

Could 2018 see the final issue of the hit image comic The Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie completed and ready to be printed for the series' 2019 end?

Magna Tolvan has been incarcerated by the Empire, and Doctor Aphra is at the mercy of her former ally Triple-Zero. Aphra is being forced to work with unstable mercenaries. Can she survive this? Is it a good read?

Similarly, in the Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers run, he stated how Asgardians didn't have concepts like straight and gay, and so such things don't factor into his own sexuality. In Al Ewing and Lee Garbett's Loki: Agent of Asgard, Loki changed shape and gender a few times. Sadly, readers have a little while to wait[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The Wicked + The Divine #33 from Image Comics by Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, Matthew Wilson, Clayton Cowles, and Dee Cunniffe is going to be a tough one to review without spoilers, but I'm going to try. What I will say is that this issue is a game changer And damned if I don't admit[...]

The Wicked and the Divine remains a brilliant tale. You want to know how it all ends, but you don’t want to rush it so you can keep enjoying it.

And with a new collection of Uber from Kieron Gillen and Daniel Gete, and a new War Stories from Garth Ennis and Tomas Aria, they're going to hammer that home a tad.
