Holy Krishna! Warren Ellis Takes on God
Ever wondered whose god would win in a fight? More importantly who would lose? “The man in the sky is not coming to save you,” is the premise behind Warren Ellis’ new mini-series Supergod. Amid a burning London, a scientist named R...
American Dad – Halloween Special
Just in time for Halloween there’s a brand new L7 World webcomic: American Dad – Halloween Special. At least I hope it’ll be done in time. What started as a 3 panel short on Klaus has turned into 10 spooktacular (yeah I said it) pa...
Holy 2nd Amendment Batman!
This November the caped crusader trades in his utility belt for a gun belt in Batman/Doc Savage Special, a prologue to a 6-issue “pulp-influenced” miniseries by Brian Azzarello. This won’t be the first time Batman has packed heat b...
Chronicles of Wormwood: The Last Battle
Life’s never been better for Danny Wormwood. He’s a big-time TV exec who’s killing the competition. His girlfriend forgave him for cheating on her. And his pal’s making a miraculous recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Did...
Holy Outing Batman!
People have long suspected the “Boy Wonder” of playing for the other team (and I’m not talking the Injustice League) – well wonder no longer! Robin finally came out of the cave in Detective Comics Annual #11. A disguised Robin...
Here Comes Haunt
Haunt is the latest comic from fan-favorites Robert Kirkman (creator of The Walking Dead) and Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn). It’s about a priest who’s possessed by his brother’s ghost. What’s really scary though is his co...
Obama’s Baby Mama
It’s not another Ebonics faux pas courtesy of Fox News. Barack Obama really does have a baby mama - Bomb Queen! In a new 4-part miniseries titled Oh-Bomb-Ah!, President Obama vows to close the supervillain-run New Port City. Unlike the previo...
Smurfmen Chapter 3
“Can you hear me now?” There have been no updates for a while on account of the internets being officially down! (yay verizon) Fortunately I used the time wisely and completed the next chapter in my Watchmen parody, Smurfmen. Despite wha...
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies – Review
A giant kryptonite meteor is hurtling towards the Earth! This looks like a job for… Lex Luthor!? No it’s not a parallel Earth or even a dream. Luthor has won the presidency and being the megalomaniac that he is he decides that if he can&#...
The Dirt on Black Lanterns
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or a tombstone) you know the dead have invaded the DC Universe, but exactly what kind of zombies these Black Lanterns are remains to be seen. We’re not completely in the dark (read: spoilers). We ...
Green Lantern: First Flight – Review
Grrr... I'm so mad you can see my eyes, my sexy blue eyes. Green Lantern’s light isn’t shining as nearly bright as it used to in this new take on a classic origin. It’s bad enough that they cut out the death of Hal Jordan’...
Digging up the Past
Blackest Night is finally here and with it the return of long dead characters as zombies! But it’s not the adversaries of the past that you need to worry about, it’s the loves lost. That’s because unlike traditional zombies, Black L...
Captain America: Reborn
When Captain America was assassinated back in Captain America #25 everyone was in denial and not just fans. Even the Marvel Universe thought something smelled fishy so naturally they sent Wolverine to confirm it was really Cap and not just some stink...
Reverse Retcon
Earlier this year Spider-Man went up against his most deadly foe yet: the Retcon Monster! And it cost him his wife, Mary Jane. Their marriage was magically annulled by a deal with the Devil, retroactively erasing their 20 plus years together. But thi...
Archie Loses his Virginity!!!
After 65 years of two-timing Archie finally settles down with Veronica in 6-part special beginning in August (Archie #600). The Riverdale gang is all grown-up and entering the real world, so given the state of economy is it any wonder Archie picked a...
New Batgirl
With the death of Batman the entire Bat-family has been rearranged. In order to compensate: Nightwing becomes Batman, Robin becomes Red Robin, Damian becomes Robin, and if the solicits are to be believed there will be a new Batgirl. We won’t kn...
Introducing the All-New, All-Different… All-Racist Young Avengers!?
First the villains usurped the Avengers’ name. Now they’ve done it again in Dark Reign: Young Avengers. But these imposters are nothing like the real thing. In addition to being extremely violent (killing criminals or worse), most of the ...
Eminem Gets Punished
Eminem meets the Punisher… ’nuff said right? Not even close. The fact that Marvel Comics is giving this away in their digital comics section (http://www.marvel.com/punisher_and_eminem) should tell you something: it sucks. This team-up cou...
Smurfmen - Chapter 2
It’s been a while since the last update, blame Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 (review soon), so here’s a treat for regulars who stuck around anyway - the penultimate chapter of Smurfmen! (i.e., chapter 2) If you missed it the first time aro...
Watchmensch - Review
Watchmensch is a parody of Watchmen (duh) where the protagonists aren’t heroes, they’re Jewish lawyers determined to wrest control from comic book creators. It’s the one adaptation Alan Moore would actually approve of. Not because M...
Jameson Sticks “it” to Parker
Amazing Spider-Man #592 ended with what’s gotta be the most disturbing cliffhanger ever: Peter Parker walking in on Aunt May having sex with J. Jonah Jameson (spider sense, what spider sense?). No not that J. Jonah Jameson. Although that would ...
Star Trek: Countdown - Review
Star Trek: Countdown is the official prequel comic to the Star Trek reboot, but is it really required reading? The 4-issue miniseries takes place during the Next Generation era and tells the origin of the retcon monster Nero. Nero is a Romulan miner ...
Real-Life Superboy
When Dana Hoekstra adopted her son she quickly realized he wasn’t like other boys. Liam was doing pull-ups before his first birthday thanks to a myostatin deficiency that’s given him 40% more muscle mass than you typical toddler (wish I ...
Deadpool Heads Off Competition
Never afraid to break the 4th wall (among other things), the Merc WITH a Mouth used the cover of Deadpool #9 to poke fun at his movie counterpart, who [spoiler alert] is decapitated at the end X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And judging by that squint he&#...
Hit the Road Bub!
Fox News blogger Roger Friedman has nothing but praise for the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual. Friedman reviewed an illegally downloaded workprint, even bragging that it was “so much easier than goi...
Tales of the Black Freighter - Review
One of many things absent from the recent movie adaptation of Watchmen was the fictional comic Tales of the Black Freighter. This story within a story mirrored events (as they happened) in Watchmen so a standalone direct-to-DVD movie kinda defeats th...
The Adventures of Superpup
If ever there was a TV show to get high to it’s The Adventures of Superpup. No it’s not a cartoon about Superman’s dog Krypto. It’s a live-action children’s show about Superman except with dogs as the main characters. Wa...
Smurfmen
Sometimes no news is good news. That’s because I’ve been doing a new webcomic. Smurfmen is a smurfy parody of the Watchmen comic/movie. There’s a whole chapter up now in the webcomics section. Not gonna be a lot of chapters to this ...
Bizarro am Stupid
For those that don’t speak Bizarro, “Bizarro am Stupid” means “Bizarro is smart.” Bizarro was recently recruited as part of Demiurge’s “Aberrant Six” in Strange Adventures #1. The Deacon Dark in the gui...
Hulk VS - Review
Hulk VS is a fanboy’s dream: light on story, heavy on “Hulk smash.” It retells two classic brawlfests: Hulk VS Wolverine and Hulk VS Thor (sorry no Hulk VS Superman). In the first featurette Wolverine is drafted by Department H to s...
