Review: Die Hard: Year One #3
One thing that stands out about the first Die Hard movie is how long it took to get to the end of the first act. It wasn’t until John McClane hot footed it across the hallway to the stairwell that the action finally took off. Once those first 30 minutes passed, the film turned into one heck of an action flick. For Boom! Studios’ Die Hard: Year One, issue three marks the beginning of the action.
Review: Batman #693
With all the exciting goings on in the Batman universe these days, it would seem like every issue would be a winner. While the Falcone Family and Black Mask’s gang vie for control of Gotham City, other players emerge to cause shenanigans and all manner of trouble.
Review: Thulsa Doom #3
In this issue, a new lord is crowned and Thulsa is sent on a quest. But will the quest get him further toward his goal of correcting his mistakes, or will his old mistress finally get her revenge? The origin of one of Robert E. Howard’s greatest creations continues!

Last call comes to Forgetless
Press Release
This December Image Comics presents the last night of New York’s most dangerous night club, FORGETLESS, courtesy of writer Nick Spencer and artists W. Scott Forbes, Marley Zarcone & Jorge Coehlo.
“FORGETLESS is akin to Rashomon in a night club, just with a lot more bullets,” Spencer said. “In a way, FORGETLESS may be the first action-thriller perfect for fans of the films ‘Go!’ and ‘Igby Goes Down’, especially with how Scott, Marley & Jorge’s styles each combine different aspects of indie and blockbuster action comics. FORGETLESS will certainly be a night to remember.”
Advanced Review: Atomic Robo #3.5
When the screaming starts, hit the kill switch
Of the three Atomic Robo story arcs we’ve been presented with so far, this one has been the one to really warp your mind to the point where you had better understand a little about theoretical physics, or know all the intricacies of Back to the Future 1, 2, and 3, plus the animated series, and that ride at Universal Studios in order to keep your sanity. It helps of course that the creators inject their likeness into the story to really tie it together nicely.

Plenty of Elephantmen available this week
Press Release
This Thursday (September 10, 2009), the acclaimed sci-fi series, ELEPHANTMEN, will give readers a chance to jump on board as participating stores receive a special 25% overship.
“I’m so glad we’re overshipping this particular issue, because I want it to get into as many people’s hands as possible,” Starkings said. “We’ve sold out of EVERY issue since #16 – the Marian Churchland issues were a huge hit – and our numbers have been holding very steady since we returned to our regular monthly schedule with our series of standalone stories, DANGEROUS LIAISONS. I envision ten hefty ELEPHANTMEN collections by the time we’re done, so readers have a lot to look forward to.”
