I think it might be time for the Infinity name generator. Take one word that means "black" and one term vaguely related to astronomy and combine. And before any conscientious fans point it out, I am...

And yet that costume is streamlined and de-cluttered in comparison to what this character wore back in those halcyon days of big boots and tiny pouches. During the 90s it looked as if Angela spent...

I think that limiting your point to the superhero artists distorts the results in a couple of ways. First, it sets up a false contrast between the artists who work on superheroes and those who work...

Blacksad has to be the best-looking book that has come out this year. The artist has clearly put researched the period settings and the history of American crime film but without letting that...

Let's not overlook that every nominee for "Best Ongoing Series" is some kind of genre fiction. Saga, Prophet, and The Manhattan Projects have built new science-fiction universes. Fatale is a horror...

After several episodes of build-up and foreboding it did seem like the confrontation should have some more heft, especially since we didn't really see the prison crowd don't have to make any tough...

I like the amnesia theory, but what if they end up pulling just one more swap before everyone goes back to normal. What happens if Norman Osborn figures out what happened, switches places with Otto,...

I was willing to defend this series after the first issue, when it seemed like Hitch's brand of hyper-realism would redeem the over-familiar premise, but issues 2 & 3 have spent pages and pages of...

Cyclops has been a character to watch during the span from New X-Men to All-New X-Men, but let's not forget the fallow stretches before that when Scott's stiffness accentuated the emotional...

For what it's worth, Bryan Singer didn't make The Last Stand. The nose-dive at the end of the series happened with Brett Ratner in the director's chair. The first two films take some liberties with...

Sure, it won't be the first time that a character moves from one company to another. In recent memory, a handful of old Wildstorm characters were pulled into the New 52 after originating in Image...

What worries me is not that Gaiman's imported character is taking pages away from some mothballed Marvel character with a loyal (and perhaps inexplicable) fanbase; it's that Angela's inclusion will...

One of the problems with hardcore fandom (a phrase I struggle to use unironically) is that a certain level of attention-to-detail is always going to look like excessive, irrational attachment to...

It's probably for the best that the story doesn't feel like an event. Given the future setting and the pre-NOW characterizations, there is at least some chance that the internal logic of the story...

Well, the story so far sounds a lot like Crysis 3: mechanical beings rule over the still-recognizable ruins of New York while a solitary hero stalks around wrecking everyone with a bow and arrow. And...

Don't put this on the yanks! If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the worst condiment abuse is happening somewhere other than where we live. But I've seen ketchup go on all sorts of...

Damian did develop into one of DC's best new characters, but partly because he has a better defined character arc than most of Batman's supporting players, with a beginning and now an end. It has...

Well, there is nothing sentimental about the death scene, so "touching" might be too soft a word. But the scene of Damian yelling for both of his parents while he's alone in the middle of their war...

The crisp scenes with Cyclops and company in All New X-Men had me prepared for Uncanny to hit the ground running, but after two issues the interpersonal intrigue still doesn't have much of a plot...

It's refreshing to read a CBR review that focuses on (astute) visual analysis instead of reading everything in terms of continuity or spurious industry trends. Let's have more like this.

Given that Sharon's proposal transforms an ordinary subway stop into the gateway to a wild timeless fantasy world full of children with awful fathers...that sounds exactly right. Fits the flashbacks...

There's a car in the new issue; it's just not as conspicuous as the horse-drawn cart on the same page. Meanwhile, the emphasis on horses might be a little misleading, but I doubt that it's entirely...

I had the same basic thought, but I'll go a small step further. Each of the newly recruited Avengers featured in issues #4-6 has done double-duty for this title, adding a new face to the roster but...

As far as I can tell, the connection between the two stories doesn't take the shape of rigid one-to-one symbolism so much as a series of shared questions about the characters and their relationships....

Cool idea, but it doesn't square with the panels where we see Nightmask powering up and then blinding light flooding through the windows of Avengers Tower. Hickman and Kubert create a series of...
