George Chimples comes from the far future, where comics are outlawed and only outlaws read comics. In an effort to prevent that horrible dystopia from ever coming into being, he has bravely traveled to the past in an attempt to change the future by ensuring that comics are good. Please do not talk to him about grandfather paradoxes. He likes his comics to be witty, trashy fun with slightly less pulp than a freshly squeezed glass of OJ. George’s favorite comic writers are Warren Ellis and Grant Morrison, while his preferred artists are Guy Davis and Chris Bachalo, He loves superheroes, but also enjoys horror, science fiction, and war comics. You can follow him @TheChimples on Twitter for his ramblings regarding comics, Cleveland sports, and nonsense.

Has there ever been a TV show based on a comic book promoted so heavily as “The Walking Dead?” Broadcast by the critically acclaimed AMC network, with the creative backing of a multiple Oscar-nominee and an impossibly fortuitous Halloween air date, is there any way that “The Walking Dead” can possibly live up to its hype?
Hey, remember the 90s? When every comic was part of a crossover, every hero had a gun bigger than his head and every villain had a body count in the triple digits? If so, you probably still have some nostalgia for Carnage. How does the crimson symbiote’s new miniseries stack up?
X-Force is back. The new Uncanny incarnation of the most militant X-team assembles a crew of antiheroes united by dark pasts rife with manipulation and experimentation. Does the darker, edgier X-Force have a place in Marvel’s Heroic Age?
X-Men vs. Vampires is another one of those anthologies that contain side stories meant to embellish the action going on in the main book. Running alongside the ‘Curse of the Mutants’ plot currently unfolding in the pages of X-Men, X-Men vs. Vampires #1 shines the light on a few underused X-Characters, as well as providing part of the first story to pit mutants against bloodsuckers.
Captain America: Patriot is the story of Jeffery Mace, intrepid Daily Bugle reporter, implacable opponent of Nazi infiltration and leader of the Liberty Legion, as he assumes the mantle of Captain America.

“I’m still breathin’. That means as students you’re all a huge disappointment to me.” On the face of it, fans probably aren’t clamoring for a Taskmaster solo series. He’s never had the highest of profiles; as a villain, he’s not terribly villainous, and his power isn’t terribly powerful. While his stock has risen recently, appearing in the Initiative and Siege crossovers, the skull-faced mercenary isn’t really a heavy hitter. But maybe the character deserves a push. He has one power, but it is an imaginative one. Taskmaster possesses a photographic memory coupled with photographic reflexes. He can watch anyone fight…
