Comics

Less a Batman title and more a Gotham title, 'Batman Eternal' pulls off a weekly, multi-writer, multi-artist epic story with a slew of protagonists with remarkable finesse. Fans of the Bat Family and others who call Gotham home (and even a couple who don’t) are bound to enjoy more than a few of the storylines, but only diehard fans will be able to enjoy everything the comic has to offer.

Some crops are bad. Ask any produce grower – sometimes you get bad harvests and that’s just a fact of life. As in life so too with comics.

While we do get a glimpse into White Fox’s origin story, we don’t really learn anything that’s helpful about linking the character to Avengers: Age of Ultron or any of the rumors swirling around there. Hopefully, more answers are coming down the pike!

As both writer and illustrator, Kaare Kyle Andrews offers us a singular and compelling vision of Danny Rand. The story, action and art—all of it is a joy to behold.

The 8th episode of 'Avengers: Electric Rain' is up and is starting to bring the team together. Episode 9 next week is the big one, though, as we’ve been promised we’ll get White Fox’s origin story there. The origin story may squash any speculation about a White Fox cameo in the upcoming Avengers movie or it may only bolster it.

Choices are good, right? That's the theory, I suppose, especially when you're choosing between good and... good. But that can be frustrating. Sure... the problems of the indulged.

A key component to getting the most enjoyment out of any medium is understanding the rules that it operates under. Here are four rules designed to maximize your enjoyment of comics whether you’re new to them or are a long-time reader wishing to sustain your enjoyment of the medium.

It’s been a big week for Avengers: Electric Rain, as it was revealed yesterday that the Korean hero that appears in the webcomic, White Fox, is going to be brought over and used in some of the official Avengers comics as well.

Just when I think there is nothing more that can be done with the “fights-in-tights” genre, 'C.O.W.L.' comes up with something truly original. In the tradition of 'Watchmen,' this book explores what a world with superheroes would really be like. It's a refreshing take on the superhero genre, with super-powered fistfights taking a backseat to bare-knuckle politics.

Variety… it might be cliché but it’s what makes life truly interesting, isn’t it? And that’s the great thing about comics: it’s a medium of great flexibility.

From her beginnings in the comic book world to who she’s most looking forward to penciling, one thing's for certain: Babs Tarr is proving she’s not just a flash in the pan. And your friendly neighborhood jman got the chance to talk to her recently.

The new 'Wolverine and the X-Men,' for better or worse, is a very different book from what it was with previous scribe Jason Aaron. Top notch art and a great lead up are thoroughly enjoyable, but writer Jason Latour doesn’t quite stick the landing because of a rushed ending to the first volume.

Episode 6 of Avengers: Electric Rain has dropped, and things really start to heat up in the most action-packed episode the series has yet to see!
