Well, Marvel Comics had such a hit with Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series they are going to see if they can do it again (and I’m sure they will) with his apocalyptic epic, The Stand.

Marvel Comics: The Invincible Iron Man #4

Here’s my top 5 comics for 2007–
5. Thor (Marvel Comics)
This relaunch of the character totally kicks ass! After the whole cybernetic cloned Thor debacle in the mini-series Civil War, fans of the Thundergod clammored for his return. He did in a beautiful and epic way and delivered an ass kicking to Iron Man/Tony Stark that […]

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Phil Noto, issue 1 of this 5 issue mini starts off with a Female Fury named Maelstrom who wants to become the queen of the evil ruler Darkseid and plans to do it by killing Superman. When she shows up on Earth she first encounters Supergirl and the aftermath of the battle takes a tragic turn. Pick this up. It apparently takes place before all of the Final Crisis crap, is devoid of excess continuity and has great art. Grade: A
YES WE CAN!
....'nuff said.
Totally scare the shit out of your neighbors and then take their candy! Bwahahahaha!
Wow! Just freakin' awesome and if you are not onboard with all things Green Lantern related then you are missing out. Geoff Johns writes one heck of a tale here that formally introduces us to the Red Lantern Corps, rage powered individuals who are sure to give the Green Lantern Corps one hell of a time. Shane Davis pencils this issue and the guy is unbelievable. There's a splash page in this issue that rivals what Ivan Reis is doing in the main ongoing GL book. Buy this one! Grade: A+
So far I haven't cared much for this series. This is DC's big event book for 2008 and the big completion to their "Crisis Trilogy" started with Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1986 and continued with Infinite Crisis in 2006. This one has been a little hard to follow and frankly, a bit boring, but thankfully this issue kicks it up several notches.
Conflicted hitmen and a coked-up racist dwarf equals dark fun!
May 8, 2009 we get to go for a ride on the U.S.S. Enterprise one more time. Well, beam me up, Scotty...
Recently I've been completely engrossed in reading Batman RIP and all things Batman related. I saw this pic up ...
