Review: Avengers A.I. #1

Avengers A.I. - Andre Araujo, Frank D’Armata

Sam Humphries and Andre Araujo bring the funbots out for this much-needed dose of humour in the wake of Age of Ultron. One of the best things to come out of the inconsistent and disappointing Age of Ultron was the renewed focus on Hank Pym. As we saw in Mark Waid’s excellent epilogue issue Age of …

Review: Satellite Sam #1

Satellite Sam - Howard Chaykin

Matt Fraction and Howard Chaykin form a perfect dream team, and then subvert those dreams as they gleefully trip through the seedy underbelly of 1950s television. Some of the great comics throughout history have shown us worlds we can only imagine. The best peel back the curtain and reveal things that we might have imagined …

Review: Lazarus #1

Lazarus #1

A sci-fi thriller with a mafia twist is the latest in a series of comics that measure the disparity between rich and poor.  In the last few months, mainstream comics have been developing quite the social conscience. While DC has been giving us both sides of the coin in The Movement and The Green Team, …

Batman/Superman #1 - Jae Lee

A classic team-up returns to recap their first meeting in glorious Jae Lee art. Yet this may not be everything that it seems. One of the casualties of the post-Flashpoint DC world was the excellent team-up book Superman/Batman, originated by Jeph Loeb back in 2003 and running under various artists and writers until the line-wide …

In this issue, Mark Millar is one step closer to royalty, Man of Steel bends the US box office to his Kryptonian will, there’s another X-Men crossover event, Marvel adds two more films to Phase 3, Sony tangles a four-part web and we guess how many gallons of body oils were used in the new trailer for …

Review: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #1

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #1 - Beck Cloonan

Gerard Way returns to comics bringing a sequel of sorts to the final My Chemical Romance album…and it’s not the end of the world. The nature of comic geekery is such that is rarely allows interlopers into its fold. Outsiders are often seen as jumping on the bandwagon, and heaven forfend a celebrity known for …
