We join Sex Criminals with a man entering an orgy before backing out. It’s followed by a dissatisfied wife, a man who almost misses an appointment with a woman and a bus accident, a man who pleasures himself with a high-tech machine, and, finally, young woman who works at a library. She returns home to […]
It’s time for that weekend round-up where we arbitrarily decide what was a comic book win or a loss for the week of April 4th, 2018. I’m struggling to come up with more of a build-up to the list, so let’s just get to it! Win: Yes, Maybe I Will Just Marry Christopher Priest’s Justice […]
The Thing takes issue with the Mr. Fantastic of the alternate Earth. Before things go too far, Invisible Woman, head of S.H.I.E.L.D on this Earth, arrives on the scene, and we get a Fantastic Four reunion of sorts.

The Thing, the Human Torch, and Dr. Rachna Koul begin their mutliversal expedition to locate the rest of the Fantastic Four.

All the superhero tech in the world has been shut down, and the weapons of supervillains holding the Tinkerer’s phones have been boosted. It’s up to Spider-Man to shut down the Tinkerer’s operation, but, even if he succeeds, what of the looming threat that the Tinkerer keeps talking about? This issue is disappointing. Some parts […]
Time for another list of comics for to add to your pull box at your local comic shop. Admittedly, it’ll be a little too late to add to orders today. I promise you that I am trying to get these things up sooner. It’s been a busy couple of weeks. For what it’s worth, this […]
The Mad Thinker is paid a visit by Doctor Doom. Meanwhile the Thing brings the Human Torch to an old friend whom Ben hopes can help Johnny with his power problems. That old friend is none other than Hercules, Avenger and Prince of Power. He takes our Two-in-One team to a person who helped him […]

That wacky Chip Zdarsky is up to his zany antics yet again!

For a company that’s always complaining about Bleeding Cool’s tabloid journalism, Marvel sure has taken a page out of our book in the promotion of its upcoming Legacy relaunch for The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Another Spider-Man title? Actually, it’s surprising that it took this long to bring on another one with Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1. We’ll still have the Miles Morales title Spider-Man 2099 for a couple more months, then there’s Spider-Gwen, and then the new, lamer Scarlet Spider title that isn’t Kaine (the better Scarlet Spider). But this […]
From the DC Rebirth onwards, culminating in November’s Doomsday Clock, Superman will meet Dr Manhattan.
