"Bizarre New World" is a really cool, beautifully done book worth checking out! full review »

Sun Promotion sure knows how to throw a party. Dallas, Texas was the location and Pedro Rizzo was the executioner with 6722 people to view the spectacle. The fights were really good and the eye candy was in abundance. They had a different ring girl for each round and there was plenty of sweat and blood to appease the crowds. The behind-the-scenes was a little disorganized but the fights were in good order.

From the first time I picked up an "Athena Voltaire" comic I was in love! Ape Entertainment has a real winner on their hands and I hope they push this title to greater heights. In stores this month is the Collected Webcomics of Athena Voltaire. Originally published in 2002 on the web "The Terror in Tibet" and "The Wrath from the Tomb" are now collected in a trade paperback. Steve Bryant has the perfect art style for this compelling character and Chad Fidler makes everything pop with great colors. The story has Yeti, Werewolves and Vampires oh my! If you like Indiana Jones with more action, more occult mystery and more evil Nazis than you can shake a stick at then this is the book for you. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the strange way the layout. The book was printed every page like a centerfold, maybe this is High Definition Widescreen comics. Maybe the taking it from it's original web format dictated this printing style. full review »

This may be the very worst "What If" comic I have ever read! Wolverine kills every superhero just because he can teleport and is in a state of constant rage. I mean come on! Wolverine kills Magneto by teleporting out of Magneto's magnetic hold and stabbing him from behind. If it was that easy you would think Wolverine and Nightcrawler would have perfected this move years ago. So Hydra has brainwashed Wolvie and is using him to kill all the Marvel Supes. Not only did they brainwash him they can teleport him to anywhere at any time as long as they have seen the place. I shouldn't even be writing this review right now because I am still hacked off at how stupid the story was. So the setup is that Captain America, Magneto, Invisible Woman and Kitty Pryde are going to lure Wolvie into a titanium reinforced, concrete reinforced S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

Because the base only has one entrance (so they think) they are going to herd Wolvie in and capture him so they can deprogram him. So as they are waiting for the most dangerous mutant on the planet, he comes up through the (Super Hardened, Titanium, Concrete reinforced) floor stabbing Invisible Woman in the feet. So at the time they are facing the worst killer ever and he has already cut off Cap's arm and leg in a previous battle, Invisible Woman doesn't even have her force field up. What?!?!?! Then she puts the force field on his head to squeeze out the oxygen and Wolvie gives himself a Tracheotomy. Couldn't she have just extended the bubble? So then Wolvie kills her, kills Magneto who could turn him into a pretzel with a thought and then kills double amputee Captain America. Kitty Pryde is the only one left and she tries to reason with Wolvie. Not a good idea. She finally figures out she has to do what has to be done and she phases her arm into his brain and face them becomes solid and Wolverine cuts her arm off, killing her. So now Wolverine is dead because he has an arm through his head. Nick Fury is there lamenting everyone and picking up the pieces. So how do you supposed an arm through the head kills Wolvie and that he can't heal from that when he has had so many more catastrophic injuries in the past? This whole story was a joke! Take some time to write a good story.

I am on a big Independent kick right now and I just finished a book called Sprockett. I was very impressed with the urban style art of Kirk Chavarria. Kirk is a one man dynamo handling the writing, pencils and inking, not to mention publishing the book. Sprockett takes place four light years from Earth in the A.P.E.X. Galaxy and it seems they have punk muggers on that world too. This issue was a great teaser and I expect big things from this book. Visit Zebragreen.com to pick up a copy. full review »
