I love Dave Stevens’ creation The Rocketeer and have followed it from Pacific comics to IDW’s deluxe Artist’s Edition and every stop in between. Recently new stories by today’s top talents have been collected in Rocketeer Adventures Volume 1. Dave Stevens’...

After a tour of duty on Batman with Dick Grayson as the man behind the cowl, Daniels returned to the Dark Knight's world in writing Detective Comics. Not with Bruce Wayne firmly entrenched as the undisputed caped crusader, Daniels' run has hit its stride after five issues. This week Comic Book Daily takes a look at issue six of Tony Daniels' take on Bruce Wayne and the world of Batman.

After enjoying the preview images for Saga I started a hunt to read some Fiona Staples material, and came across Mystery Society during my Boxing Day sale shopping. Nick Hammond and Anastasia Collins are the Mystery Society and bring new meaning to “underground cult”...

Moon Knight is one of those fringe characters that always has the potential for unique and engaging stories. A new version has emerged in Moon Knight By Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev Volume 1. Moon Knight is back, like you’ve never — and we mean NEVER — seen him...

There had been a few write ups about Russ Cochran’s newest reprint endeavour, The Sunday Funnies, to peak my interest. My local comic shop received the first shipment and let me take it for a spin. To start this off with a bang I am printing the first three issues at the same...

Marvel released its latest round of point-one comics last week, among them Deadpool #49.1. Like any other "point-one" issue, this was a side-story bonus for readers featuring everyone's favourite "Merc with a Mouth." If that weren't enough, the book was written as a musical. Considering that irresistible combination, the issue had to be remarked on. Onward to the review!

When DC relaunched its line of comic books in Sept. 2011, a plethora of characters previously without titles were given new life with books of their own. Many of the principle characters featured in Brightest Day have been featured, notably as identical or slightly intensified versions of themselves. In the case of Firestorm title, the writers have had to tackle the issue of including both Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond as the main characters in the book. The effort is additionally problematic considering the fickleness of the Firestorm fan base. This week CBD takes a look at the fifth issue of The Fury of Firestorm.

This book kept coming up but I held it at bay, until it showed up at my local comic shop. One quick thumbing and Naughty and Nice: The Good Girl Art Of Bruce Timm was a must have. In a radical departure from his previous work on animated films and comics featuring superheroes, the...

Wandering the aisles of my local comic shop I happened upon Silverfin: The Graphic Novel, A James Bond Aventure. See Young Bond in action for the very first time. It’s James Bond’s first day at Eton, and already he’s met his first enemy. This is the start of an...

Being a fan of Humanoids and Milo Manara I happily thumbed Pandora’s Eyes when it was released, then put it back on the shelf. For some reason I wasn’t ready at the time, but having thoroughly enjoyed The Manara Library Volume 1 I picked this book up at a Boxing Day...

I’m a sucker for Marvel World War II material and I love Chris Samnee’s work so picking up Captain America & Bucky: The Life Story Of Bucky Barnes was a given. Think you know the story of Cap and Bucky’s origins? Well, think again. The secret story of the...

Originally printed in 2005 as L’Ultima Battaglia by The Walt Disney Company Italia, The Last Battle by Tito Faraci and Dan Brereton is an English translation published by Image Comics. In 52 BCE, General Caius Rodius, retired hero of Caesar’s Legions, is called back to...

I gave Roy Crane’s Captain Easy, Solder Of Fortune: The Complete Sunday Newspaper Strips Volume 1 1933-1935 a good thumbing many, many times before picking it up. The artwork was too simple, the stories silly. One day in my local comic shop with nothing new to read I picked it...

I excitedly waited for John Byrne’s Next Men Volume 2: Scattered Part 2 in the hope I could get answers to all the questions and dangling plotlines from volume 1.  It does.  Plus it’s the longest title I’ve encountered this year. Scattered across time and with...

Milo Manara is a mostly untapped resource to North American comics fans, but that’s all changing with The Manara Library Volume 1: Indian Summer and Other Stories from Dark Horse. Italian comics legend Milo Manara brings a comprehensive collection of his catalog to the United...

With the DC reboot, the company took a bit of a step backwards in expanding the Justice League family tree, similarly extending their line as they did with the old JLI and JLE books. Justice League Dark (JLD) adds a bit of a twist to the concept, bringing together many of the DCU's notable magicians, sorcerers and mystics to tackle the world's biggest magic-based threats. What happens though when DC's brightest heroes fall short of stopping a threat like a deranged, positively insane Enchantress? Who are you going to call? John Constantine, Deadman, Shade, Madame Xanadu and Zatanna, that's who.

A mysterious force has been killing Green Lanterns left and right and John and Guy have taken a team deep into space to end this intergalactic threat. The team arrives on the planet Xabas, only to come face-to-face with the Keepers. The Keepers quickly dispatch many of the Lanterns and gain the upper hand and force Guy and John to call a retreat. Many of them transport back to Oa using one of the present Lantern's natural teleportation powers, but they quickly find that Stewart and a small number of Lanterns have been left behind to fight for their lives.
