I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to all sorts of new and different books in 2012. I concede that my list has more super than horror but who knows what will be on here in 2013? Now that I look at my list, I still see quite a bit of the darker, murkier side of some of what mainstream comics offered. I have a mix of monthly, mini-series, and collections on this list. If you try something new in 2013, I hope it’s one of these great series. My top 12 of 2012 list is in no particular order because they’re all winners. Enjoy and Happy 2013! READ MORE

Review: ‘The Crow: Skinning The Wolves’ #1

Category: Comics / Reviews

The Crow: Skinning The Wolves is an odd comic. Despite its faults, it’s fun, full of action, says a lot without really saying anything, and what is said you don’t really understand. But what little you do pick up is what makes it so intriguing. With a minimalist script from James O’Barr and some solid, atmospheric art from Jim Terry, “The Crow” succeeds in both setting up a brief arc and drawing the audience in with a solid first issue.

As a child of the 80s, my favorite part of watching “The Transformers” television show was The Dinobots. Any episode they showed up, I knew there was going to be some awesome Decepticons smashing. I confess, I never understood why Optimus Prime and The Autobots didn’t just send them into every battle and mop the floor with their enemies. I always wished they would somehow merge into some gigantic robot and destroy that punk Devastator…sorry, cartoon flashbacks.

Ahem. Where was I?

Oh yes, Transformers Prime: Rage of The Dinobots #1 showcases the new version of the Dinobots, and they’re not the ones I grew up with. READ MORE
