The Pull List: Making The Cut II

Categories: DC, Marvel, New Releases, Thoughts

I posted a little while ago about some of the comics that were coming and going from my pull list in which I mentioned that I had a couple of titles I was considering dropping and picking up. A couple of things have changed since then so I figured I'd give a few of you out there an update on what's going through my head lately. Thunderbolts: I had pretty much decided that I'd be stop, drop and rolling my way out of anything ... Read More

Countdown: Top 5 Comic Book Sidekicks

Categories: DC, Marvel, POA Countdown

I've been somewhat absent over the last couple of days because of an emergency in my family. That being said, I consider it somewhat of therapy to come on here and empty my brain into a couple posts or two. Enjoy. Where would many of our favorite superheroes be without their trusty sidekicks? They stand by their sides through the think and thin fighting injustice wherever it might form. Shouldn't they have a little bit of time to be acknowledged? Without further ado, ... Read More

The Pull List: Making The Cut

Categories: DC, Marvel, New Releases, Thoughts

Over the past couple of months, I've kicked around a bunch of different titles that have peeked my interest a little bit but have yet to make it onto my esteemed pull list. Those of you that have been around here for a while might remember when I was rambling about Wolverine's solo title as well as Geoff Johns' Green Lantern book. Well, both of those have successfully passed my very demanding and overly critical tests to become the newest titles on ... Read More

A Disappointing Start To DC’s Trinity

Categories: DC, New Releases, Thoughts

I finally got around to reading through the second issue of Trinity yesterday night and can officially say, much like I anticipated a couple of months back, it's let me down. For the record, this isn't some angry, bitter Marvel fanboy lashing out at DC. Although...I am a Marvel fanboy...and can get angry and bitter sometimes...but that's besides the point. Regardless of that, there are some serious issues I have with the current Busiek/Bagley comic that I'm hoping will be resolved fairly ... Read More

Tournament of Champions: Final Results

Categories: Awesome Arena, DC, Thoughts

After months of combat, the Awesome Arena has come to a close with it's Tournament of Champions. In the first ever tournament, we saw the greatest heroes in comics take to the arena and settle once and for all who was the most powerful character in comics and pop-culture. Ladies and gentlemen, a champion has emerged... It's been a pretty rough ride for Batman having been involved in battles with some of the best that the comic book world has to offer as ... Read More

Countdown: Top 10 Comic Book Heroes

Categories: DC, Marvel, POA Countdown

Many of you longtime readers might realize that this is actually a reprint (I'm hilarious, I know.) of something similar we did a while back when we were still harbored on the Wordpress.com servers. Well, I figured it had been nearly seven months since the first countdown, now seemed more than fitting than ever that we revisit and revise the original list, with the Tournament of Champions officially ending this week, and maybe get an even more accurate version. Not to mention, ... Read More

This is it! It's all come down to the final battle between two of the DC heavyweights. Last week, Batman managed to round up the strength to defeat the God of Thunder in one of two massive upsets. Meanwhile, Green Lantern, much to the dismay of Taylor, defeated Superman and has marched forward to battle the Dark Knight here today. If you're wondering how we got here, take a peek at the full ladder for the Tournament of Champions (Here). Otherwise, let's ... Read More
