Last Call With Carl Boehm - The Info Zombie

Driving down from New York to a new home in Florida back in the summer of 1980, my Dad had the tough time of keeping eight kids occupied. When stopping at a Holiday Inn at the halfway-there point, he imparted upon me a tremendous gift: Shogun Warriors #10 by Marvel. The forty-cent purchase instilled in me a love of giant robots and of comic books. And it kept me from yapping for the rest of the journey.

Review: Sex Criminals #10

It is with a throbbing, erect heart that I bid farewell to volume two of Fraction and Zdarsky’s Sex Criminals. After spending something like an entire year singing its praises to the faceless void that is the internet, this will be my last review of the series. Heed my words now, or forever be cursed to awful sex.

Review: V Wars #10

I really have to hand it to the writing in this comic. Jonathan Maberry has a way of intertwining this complex war in such a cool way. War brings so many sides, and Maberry doesn’t let any of those go to waste. He really tries to come from all angles with each new character.

Review: Punks - The Comic #4

There are a whole lot of strange, bizarre, and just plain weird comics out there. Some are kind of artsy. Some are kind of deep. While some are kind of allegorical in nature trying to prove a point. As for Punks the Comic, it is none of those.

Review: Doberman #5

Although I’ve seen a lot of harsh criticism for Doberman, I’ve continued to enjoy it for what it is. I think people who don’t enjoy it take the comic, and themselves, too seriously. This book isn’t trying to re-invent the wheel by any means but delivers on action and comedy which it sets out to do.

Review: Graveyard Shift #2

I was really impressed by the first issue of Graveyard Shift, and couldn’t wait to see where this story would go next. While I didn’t find issue two quite as impressive as the first instalment, I still think that this is definitely a series that’s worth your time.

Review: Captain Midnight #19

It’s come down to this. After receiving great professional and personal loss, Jim Albright (aka Captain Midnight) finds himself fighting for his life (as well as the whole world) against his once best friend and former partner Chuck Ramsey. This is the big battle that has been building for a while and it is the wrap up arc before the final one of the series.

Review: Outcast Vol. 1 - A Darkness Surrounds Him

Outcast is a series I was reluctant to start purely because of how disillusioned I’ve become with Kirkman’s The Walking Dead. While it continually impresses me that he can keep the universe of the comic and the universe of the show separate in his head and write for both, after a while it grew stagnant for me; they find a new place to live, someone in that place rapes or kills someone in Rick’s group, they have to fight, they have to leave, repeat until Rick finally bites it possibly never.

Review: Bitch Planet #2

So, my review of Bitch Planet #1 got some heat. And I kind of expected that; I mean, calling bullshit on a beloved creator’s magnum opus isn’t the best or quickest way to gain internet popularity. What I will not abide, however, are the few voices that called it sexist.

Review: Quantum & Woody Must Die #1

I’ve heard a lot about Quantum and Woody but haven’t ever gotten the chance to check it out until I saw they’re having a new miniseries. I can already say from this debut issue that If you’re struggling to find some quality laughs in a comic book, look no further than Quantum and Woody Must Die.

Review: Munchkin #1

When I first read the news of BOOM! Studios having obtained the rights to do a Munchkin comic I was very excited for the franchise. From the first time I started playing this very popular game I could tell that this game had the potential to be a comic book. From the wacky minions you face and the hilarious named gear you obtain after killing a monster; the game felt like a comic.

Review: The Dying & The Dead #1

A friend once told me that, despite what you might hear, Life is not short. It is, in fact, the longest thing you will ever experience. I always found that to be an interesting viewpoint, and, really, an optimistic one. But Life is not so individual an experience - no man being an island, and all that - and its length cannot be measured without a sense of relativity. In a lot of ways, the same could be said about reading Jonathan Hickman.

Review: Princess Ugg #7

This series has been kicking serious ass lately. I missed out on reviewing the last issue, but if I had… high marks to say the least. The thing that’s always so pleasing about Ted Naifeh’s storytelling is that he manages to hook you with a different lure each issue.

Review: Robyn Hood #6

Robyn Hood starts out way different from anything we have ever seen; Marian narrates this issue. I always said that I love this chick and wanted to see more of her story with Robyn’s. Although I did miss Robyn’s sarcastic attitude. Marian doesn’t even come close to giving us as much spice as Robyn does. But all in all, I loved the changed that Pat Shand gave us and feel like he is listening to his readers.

Review: Tomb Raider #12

'The fall of the curtain' marks the end of this current arc. Picking up from last time, Mr. Cruz has made his way to London to track down and kill Lara and Ramile. Lara meanwhile is blowing chunks from the stress of her looming performance (even the return of my favorite Jaffa Cakes don't make her feel better).
