Age of Bronze #24 Adan: Helen is a right cunt! I’ve hated Helen of Troy since I first read the Iliad all those years ago and it seems Eric Shanower’s got the right characterization here: a vain, selfish, bitchy whore. Unlike such literary luminaries as Edgar Allan Poe and Hilda Doolittle, who seemed to just [...]

Civil War: War Crimes One-Shot Laura: Sometimes wars are won by the people who are willing to get their hands the dirtiest, and we already know that Tony Stark and the pro-regs are willing to get in bed with the bad boys to achieve their ends. This time around Tony is courting an incarcerated Kingpin, [...]

Hey, so maybe you noticed we’re late this week. Well, see, it’s like this: I was up too late playing Dungeons & Dragons, my big sister was up too late singing the karaoke, and Jon, our scanner, was up too late playing Guitar Hero II. Sorry about the delay, but at least we’ve all got [...]

Batman Confidential #1 Laura: Batman Confidential, what do you have to show me? The usual gruff noir voiceovers as Batman investigates crimes? Yawn. An evil lackey that gets killed at the last second before he can give up the name of his employer? Sigh. Bruce Wayne agonizing over his parents’ deaths? Again? Zzzz. There’s nothing [...]

PCS’ weekly review/preview of the good, the bad and the fugly, courtesy of our resident Wonder Twins. American Virgin #9 Laura: Adam Chamberlain, former virginity evangelist turned completely broken man, has had a tough run of it. The girl he was saving himself for, Cassie, got beheaded and possibly raped while on a Peace Corps [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #535 Adan: Let me get this straight, I need to read Civil War #5 AND #6 in order to understand this story? Well, sucks to be me ’cause Civil War #6 is about two months away from being released. Ah well, at least I get to read May being all feisty again. How [...]

Astonishing X-Men #18 Adan: My review in one word: Disappointing. What the crap, seriously. This is the most obnoxious ending to a storyline since Maggie Simpson shot Mr. Burns. The only cool parts: Cyclops shooting the bad guys with what looks like a Glock, and that girl with the bubble armor whooping ass right alongside [...]

Action Philosophers: It’s All Greek to You Laura: The Stoics say that God is in all things, which means that God is in the gyro on the cover of Action Philosophers, which is making me totally hungry. Whether you find the interior palatable may depend on the type of person you are. If you’re not [...]

Sorry for the delay folks. Halloween was Tuesday night and we all got sick on candy and booze. There are still rainbows coming out of me from places I’d rather not discuss in mixed company. Here are your picks, pans, and scans; a day late, but more informed. – Adan Agents of Atlas #4 Adan: [...]

Action Comics #844 Adan: So the story that Richard Donner really wanted to tell in a Superman comic is Brian Singer’s ‘Superman Returns?’ With a few cosmetic changes, of course. I don’t know, I kind of already watched this movie. Twice. And I got popcorn those two times. What are you giving me, Donner? Laura: [...]
