5 Comic-book Movies (That Aren’t From D.C. or Marvel) That I Wish Were Getting Made
I saw Avengers: Age Of Ultron this morning with my family. There’s a bajillion reviews out there, by writers much more talented than myself (like Zaki Hasan), so I won’t bother writing one myself, but the final verdict: Excellent. Even better than the first. I can’t wait to own this on DVD (and see the…

The strip revolves around Solomon Hitch, a most unusual superhero, to say the least. Rather than being a strange visitor from another planet with powers and abilities far beyond those of…
TALES FROM THE PLEX (Graphic Novel review)
I happen to be a fan of comic-book anthologies (as evidenced by my recent review of PITCHED VOL. 1) . Unfortunately, it’s something the major comic-book publishers have moved away from, especially in this era of “decompression.” But I think it can be a good way to promote new talent and new characters.
