Or – “Hey, Lines On Your Boots Really DO Make You Faster!” Captain Cold was, historically, the first member of the Flash’s Rogue’s Gallery. Though technically the second villain Barry Allen ever faced (and frankly, the Turtle shouldn’t count) Leonard Snart evolved over the years into a mildly noble brute with an old-school mentality and a proudly retro cold gun. With a new, younger not-a-reboot version of the Flash rushing about, what has become of the Captain?

What could be better than another Atomic Robo series? How about TWO Atomic Robo series? This week kicks off a new Atomic Robo ongoing anthology series, that will run alongside the next Atomic Robo mini-series. With Scott Wegener absent from this series in order to keep up with the mini, with Robo still sparkle and shine, or will it seem like a rusty imitation?
The Pickens County Horror promises to bring vampires to the pages of B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth. Do these bloodsuckers just suck or will you get your bang for the buck? That was awful, and I apologize.
Disregarding the age-old advice of ”grab your funnel cake then leave” when going to an amusement park, Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon find themselves trapped within the grounds and surrounded. Will they all make it out with their souls?
Peter Parker has had a wonderful year and things are really starting to go his way, which means it is time for the villains to step up…and save the planet?
AW YEAH FINALE! All good things must come to an end, and tragically that includes one of the best all-ages comics of our era, Tiny Titans. Thankfully, as we see in this issue, it is ending to make way for another all-ages comic by the same creative team!
Polaris and Havok are now back in charge of X-Factor, as Jamie Madrox recovers from a slight case of death. Find out more about the changing status quo in this review of X-Factor #233.
We loved it so much the first time, they’re brining it back around for another run (followed soon after by another). As is often the case with follow up events, one wonders if IDW Publishing has scored again with Rocketeer Adventures 2, or if this is a huge embarrassment for Rocketeer fans?
Or – “The Face That Launched A Thousand Bad Girl Knockoffs…” The 1990’s may be remembered as the dawn of the Information Age, or the decade where we finally perfected cloning, or maybe a period of economic over-exuberance. But, if you read comics from ’93 to ’98, you’ll probably think of it as I do: The “Bad Girl” Decade.
Or – “At Least It Was On Time…” With the upcoming Avengers Vs. X-Men crossover, this four-issue limited was solicited as significant, a stepping stone towards the inevitable fighty-fighty. In truth, it’s both much more and quite a bit less than that…
Justice League #7 brings us ahead five years into the present day after finally ending the Darkseid situation. I felt as if some parts dragged on previously in this series but was a great read overall. Not to mention I was really getting tired of the red hues and shading. Now that our foundation is built, where will the Justice League take us now? Find out more after the jump!
Or – “It’s Easy To Forget That Crime Capers Are Committed By Criminals…” Not so long ago, Mark Millar created “Wanted,” a story of high-level super-criminals and the man who wakes up to realize that he’s actually one of them. I had been worried that this series would be too similar to that one, but Supercrooks actually surprised me with it’s take on the dark side of super-powers…
Or – “Solo Songbird Story Time! (Doo Dah! Doo Dah!)” The Thunderbolts have been through a lot of changes since their inception during Heroes Return, but Melissa Gold (aka Screaming Mimi, aka Songbird) has been one of my favorite characters in any version of the team, as well as one of the only constants throughout the team’s history. With the ‘Bolts cascading through the timestream, Songbird has been left behind, and has some time on her sonic-powered hands…
A village is about to be overrun and the ragtag team of defenders defeated, but can the Horsewoman get help in time? And what about Vandal Savage–was his defection really all it seemed to be? Surely SOMETHING has to give if this book is going to have a happy ending! But is a happy ending really in the cards for our “heroes”?
