Back when Jeph Loeb started up the abomination that was, and still is, the Hulk comic, I was pretty much looking for a reason to hate it. I mean, the idea sounded really cool but I knew that, like Loeb's work on Ultimates 3, the comic would probably be pretty terrible. That was until I heard that Ed McGuiness was going to be doing the artwork. I figured that they might balance each other out and maybe bring us a comic that ... Read More

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

Wizard World Chicago has been the home to a number of announcements over the past couple days, most of which I've covered in the forums, but none have been nearly as important to me personally as the announcement that Billy Tan, known for his work on Uncanny X-Men, will be joining writer Brian Michael Bendis on New Avengers as the full-time artist following the conclusion of Secret Invasion. Those of you that have been reading Panels of Awesome for some time know that ... Read More

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

Alright, so it might be a week late but I finally got a chance to not only see the newest member of the Marvel film collection but to also crash in front of a computer and get a nice little review worked out. It's been a pretty good summer for movies so far and it looks like it's only going to get better with Hellboy II on the way as well as The Dark Knight following closely behind that. I think the ...

So after a wonderfully crafted arc by Jason Aaron, complemented by the artwork of Ron Garney, we've come head to head with Mark Millar's self-proclaimed "all-time greatest adventure ever" for Wolverine. That sounds like a pretty bold statement but you have to keep in mind that Millar is the guy who brought us Civil War, The Ultimates and the Ultimates 2, just to name a couple of his works. Would Old Man Logan be another addition to the list of great stories ... Read More
