This week’s episode of Avengers: Electric Rain marks the end of the first part of the series. Next week’s episode will mark the beginning of the second part and it’s going to be kicked off with a special episode.

Busy day today … get ready for work, take care of the kids, make supper, correct homework, take out the garbage and fix something wrong with the house. The usual stuff. Except today is Wednesday… and Wednesday is new comic day. Both the wife and girls know that this is …

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.

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.

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!

I tell my students to read comics, not because they’re any easier; on the contrary, the presence of visual information in these books also adds a layer of non-textual communication and forces kid to think about the message that’s reinforced on a visual level.

The fifth episode of 'Avengers: Electric Rain' is out and it’s action-packed, folks!

The newly relaunched 'The Amazing Spider-Man' series is action-packed, does a good job of getting new readers up to speed, and hits on all the notes that make Slott’s run on Spider-Man so fun. Unfortunately, it’s the new elements in the series that keep the series from being the best it can be.

If I had the luxury of time, I’d lock myself in a comic shop for about a day and just read. Forget the back issues, there are a lot of great comic companies taking chances and managing to get their stuff out on the shelves that it’s a sin that a lot of them are never read.
