  • Comic Cover of the Week: Bill Sienkiewicz Rules Marvel’s SOLOMON KANE Limited Series?!

    I never knew that this comic book series was ever a thing way back in 1985-but after seeing this of course incredible cover from master class artist Bill Sienkiewicz I’m ready to track down this limited series and give it a whirl! It’s covers like these that sell a series and Bill’s ALWAYS on top…

  • Comic Cover of the Week: The PUNISHER’s Most Pissed OFF!!!

    Hey I’m back again with some cool damn covers of yesteryear & some of the best of the 80s hands down go to The Punisher Magazine! I’m definitely going to give props to The Punisher Limited series covers from Mike Zeck as some of the best of that decade but The Punisher’s Magazine continued that…

  • Comic Cover of the Week: Barry Windsor Smith’s EPIC Machine Man!!

    I recently pulled out my old ‘Machine Man’ limited series from 1984, some thing I do pretty regularly because it’s just that damn awesome. The series brings Machine Man into the future of 2020 where he faces off with the evil Arno Stark, the next Iron Man! The thing that sets this series apart from…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week 1985: Before WandaVision!

    WandaVision seems to be the talk of the town, whether you like it or not it’s Disney +’s MCU big kick off series and from what I’ve heard it’s quite daring in it’s storytelling. I still haven’t checked it out, something about it just hasn’t pulled me into setting aside time to give it a…

  • Comic Cover of the Week: Corben’s HULK is Incredible!!

    A monumental time for me as a huge fan of The Incredible Hulk (R.I.P.) was back in 2001 when the ‘Banner’ limited series was released and the artwork was handled by the legend Richard Corben! I most remember him in my youth as being an artist on badass comic magazines like Eerie & Heavy Metal…

  • The Death Of Wolverine #2: The Best There Is? Hardly…

    The Death of Wolverine #2  is a comic book I’ve really been looking forward to for the last week! I was super impressed with the first issue even though it was five bucks and had a bunch of useless filler, it felt in part like the old Wolverine stories I used to love! So issue…

  • ‘The Wolverine’ Trailer: Did They Finally Get it Right?

    I won’t lie, I’ve been looking forward to finally seeing the trailer for ‘The Wolverine’ for quite some time now. The wait is over, we finally got to see a glimpse of what we’re in store for this summer. As you may know I loathed X-men Origins: Wolverine with a passion. I still have a…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week! Byrne & The Man of Steel!

    Back in 1986 it was a real treat when John Byrne took over Superman starting with the mini series The Man of Steel. He rebooted the series with that limited series and then took over Superman and Action Comics entirely doing the writing and artwork. He gave the people of the 80’s a more adult…

  • The Silver Samurai Cast for “The Wolverine”!

    I hope that my faith can be restored in Hugh Jackman’s next appearance in the upcoming Wolverine movie expected to be delivered next summer. I have serious doubts and I have even went as far to suggest that they completely reboot the Wolverine movie franchise. However it seems the wheels are turning quite quickly now…

  • Alpha Flight Sadly Doesn’t Quite Make the Mark…

    Being a huge Alpha Flight fan I was somewhat saddened by the news today that Alpha Flight is no longer going to be an ongoing series as recently announced. It seems that all we are going to get right now is the recent limited series which was for the most part a pretty fun solids…
