Greetings, crusaders! October is in full swing now and this week was dense with titles, and choosing ones for this column was tough (thank goodness for deadlines!). If you’re new to how all this works...

POINT OF ENTRY: Green Lantern: Sinestro
This wasn’t really what I was expecting from a New 52 Volume one. With most of the other restarts I’ve gotten a chance to familiarize with characters I didn’t really know about and get a glimpse of an...

Greetings to the crusader nation! It’s time for my weekly opinion-review recap of the comics for this week that I felt were worth a look. For those new to the column: I am a comics enthusiast who reads...

NOOB REVIEW: Teen Titans Volume 1—Teen being the key word
I will preface this with: I read a lot of teen books. If you’ve checked out my normal blog Tattoogirl Reads then you already know that. Teen books almost always have some degree of love or a crush or...

POINT OF ENTRY: Fantastic Four, the Hickman version
I read the first issue in volume 1 of Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four (Issue #570). I’m just going to point out, right from the beginning, this is not something that is for noobies. I have heard of...

Greetings, crusaders! This week in comics was fairly heavy on debut issues—both in print and digital-only format—so some of the decisions were pretty tough. If you are new to this, here is a quick...

Point of Entry: Gotham Central
I don’t normally do Point of Entry over anything set in Batman’s universe. My reasoning behind this is that it’s the only comic that I actually do know a lot about. I’ve watched movies, cartoons, and...

Point of Entry: Saga—Not like Twilight and Star Wars
I’m a sucker for a comic with some amazing art. That said, I couldn’t help but be drawn to this series. The drawing style, character designs, and creativity of this artistic world really impressed me....

Point of Entry: Planet Hulk
What I knew about Hulk before I read Planet Hulk: He’s a human who turns into a green monster. His name is Banner. (Thank you, Avengers movie). I knew that I didn’t really want to read anything about...

Noob Review: Justice League 3000—What?
I just finished Justice League 3000, and I can legitimately say I went in with no expectation and wasn’t disappointed, because I don’t care about any of the characters. I’m also 100% confused. Why did...

Point of Entry: Guardians of the Galaxy—Blam! Murdered You!
What I knew about Guardian’s of the Galaxy before reading this: that it had a pretty cover. What I think now: I loved everything that was in Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Avengers. I loved the art,...

Point of Entry: Astro City—Confession
Astro City came highly recommended to me by a friend that for the most part has similar tastes. I thought I was going to get something I really liked when I saw that there was also an introduction by...

Point of Entry: Superman Action Comics Volume 1 —What happened?
I’ve always preferred Batman to Superman. Batman is gritty and had terrible luck growing up despite being loaded. Superman was raised in rural Kansas by good, God-fearin’ folk who taught him to be...

Noob Review: Justice Leauge Dark Vol 2 – An Occult Classic
I went into Justice League Dark volume two with reservations. Volume one was hit or miss and mainly had a cool gross out factor (remember the witch?) and awesome lines from Constantine. Volume 2 has a...

Point of Entry: Heroes For Hire: Fear Itself—Not Noob Friendly
Heroes For Hire is a crash course in Marvel heroes for noobs. The only heroes I recognized were Spider-Man and Elektra (and I only know her from the Daredevil movie). There were some cool people I got...

Noob Review: Hawkeye My Life As A Weapon—Sup Bro?
Guess who was pleasantly surprised by Hawkeye: My Life As a Weapon? That’s right. This girl here. This is my first delve into the Marvel NOW comics. Last year I went headfirst into the New 52 for DC,...

Point of Entry: Alias
I was assigned Alias because of Marvel’s and Netflix’s big hook up. Jessica Jones is supposed to be visiting our Netflix queues in the near future, so Josh had me check it out. I have a sneaking...

Noob Review: Invincible: Ultimate Collection Volume 2
Ah, Robert Kirkman, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. Invincible; 2. Invincible; 3. The Walking Dead. Lame, I know. Sorry. But honestly, Robert Kirkman knows how to pack a punch in both...
