So, I decided to rebrand this column a little. Instead of being Comic Book Wins and Losses, it will be Top and Bottom 5 Comics for the Week from now on. People like top and bottom five lists, and it fits the new format for what I'm doing here. With that out of the way, […]

Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Jorge Jimenez, Alejandro Sanchez, and Rob Leigh is the first part of the Super Sons of Tomorrow crossover mini-event between this title, Super Sons and Teen Titans.

With some encouragement from Rich Johnston and Mark Seifert, I've decided to take a look back at comics I've reviewed from time to time to analyze some interesting themes that they may share or conflict upon. This past week's Superman #28 and Batman #28 both look at war in a way. They approach it in similar […]

 There's a lot to love about Patrick Gleason. He's been working at Marvel and Image, but mostly for DC. But it was the New 52 that really brought him into focus for me, for his work on Batman And Robin. Seen by some as an ancillary title to Batman Inc, filling in the numbers, it […]

The letters page above has been doing the rounds online, with Christos Gage answering reader concerns over the presence of gay characters in Avengers Academy. It's a long and considered letter, as is the response. But the Bendis Board found another, less considered back and forth from Gen 13 #5 back in the mid nineties. […]
