I am not a regular reader of the Superman comic but bought this to check out J. Michael Straczynski’s story. The premise of the “Grounded” story line is Superman walking across America and his interactions with members of the public.  His encounters with people portray him in a god like way not exactly talking down [...]

As readers of this blog know I am not really a follower of the Wonder Woman comics but since issue 601 is the first full issue to be written by J. Michael Straczynski I had to pick it up. I feel kind of let down with this issue, probably because I don’t follow the story [...]

Here is a random posting of some comics I have bought this week being Comic Book Wednesday!  Two issues of note this week. The first one I have been waiting for a little while is Turf #2, the series written by Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards.  I bought the first issue, reviewed here, on [...]

I knew that Jonathan Ross was a fan of comics but didn’t realise that he would be writing one.  I was in my favourite comic store Golden Age Collectables just the other week and was drooling over the new issues that had arrived and spotted Johnathan’s name on one, so I picked it up out [...]

“Doesn’t matter what the press says.  Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say.  Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. [...]

Here is one of my random comic reviews, there are numerous spoilers so don’t go any further if you haven’t read it yet! Last night I finally got round to reading Dr Who: Autopia.  This comic is solely created by an all-American team including legendary Star Wars: Legacy writer John Ostrander and Dr Who: The [...]

I don’t often talk about what I am going to buy over what I have already bought but here is my possible comic shopping list for tomorrow.  I say possible because I do like to have a quick look inside to make sure I really want it. President Evil Is this a take off of [...]

Please be warned, there are some spoilers in the post for those who haven’t read Batman and Robin issue 1. Firstly I don’t really follow Batman in DC Comics, never been a huge fan, but thought I needed to write something associated with the controversial ‘aparant’ death of Batman this year.  Writer Grant Morrison killed [...]

Well I seem to miss Free Comic Book Day every year and I don’t know why, I guess other stuff happens.  Lucky for me there has always been something to pick up either the Thursday (in the UK) or Wednesday (in North America) after the actual event. This year I was able to pick up [...]

This weeks comics again was the motherload and I expect not to be eating for another couple of weeks as a result.  Seriously though there were some great issues out this week including Thor #11 (which hits #600 next month), Amazing Spider-Man, Secret Invasion titles, Front Line…the list goes on! Just recently I wrote about [...]

Noticed recently that finally the price of comics in the US and Canada are finally becoming the same, however I have just realized this is only for certain comic companies. DC Comics for example seem to charge the same.  This weeks issue of Justice Society of America was $2.99 in the US and Canada.  However, [...]

Certainly wish I had a copy of Action Comics #1 currently on sale at eBay. The current bid for it $90,100 which is a lot of money, however, there aren’t many left in existence (less than 100). The high grade version of the comic is worth $500,000! That amount of money would certainly be useful. [...]
