Review: Angel, After the Fall

Wow.  I really didn’t like this at all.
I hate to have to say that, because I really liked Angel when it was on tv, but, this series?  I really don’t care for it.
A little backstory for the uninformed.  Angel was once Liam, the son of a middle class linen merchant in Galway Ireland.  He was [...]

Infinity Inc.

This one’s a little more difficult to describe.
Like Atari Force, this was about a ’second generation’ team and, in this case, they were the children of superheroes.
Specifically, the Justice Society of America.
The JSA predated the Justice League in the DC Universe. You may know heroes like The Flash and The Green Lantern, but you [...]

Atari Force

I am pulling out ALL the stops this week, in a walk down memory lane of some of my favorite, all-time comics.
What trip down this particular path would be complete without mentioning Atari Force?
Atari Force started, oddly enough, with Atari video games. That’s right - Atari video games. They were bundled with the [...]

Genetic Engineering - Before Dark Angel

One more step along this week long nostalgic look at my old, favorite comics brings me to another independent that I really liked: DNAgents!
I picked this one up and started reading it early on - I think maybe with the first issue. It was different, and I liked different.
As with Starslayer, it dealt [...]

Pirates in Space

I’m sorta on a comics kick this week, having relived old times through the Robotech DVD’s I bought last Friday, and one sorta sticks out in my head.
Enter ‘Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger’.
It’s kind of funny. I only have a few of these comics and I got them through a trade with [...]

Silent Interlude

1984. A friend gives me a comic book as a present. I don’t remember what the occasion was - I don’t think it was my birthday - I think I invited him over to hang out or something and his father had told him that you don’t just go to someone’s house as [...]

Batman: Gotham Knight

Well. What can I say about this other than it is unbelievable! I picked it up tonight on the way home from work and manoman - this kicks ass!
This is probably the best animated Batman since Batman: The Animated Series debuted back in the day. That was 1992, to be specific.

This [...]

Do you remember Elfquest?

I remember Elfquest. I only have a couple of issues hidden away somewhere in my collection and those were difficult to get. What’s amazing to me is how long the series has been going on and yet I was nowhere near aware of it as I probably should’ve been.  I seem to recall [...]
