Z is back in town

Now that i'm back in the city, expect comic stuff frequently. This will also include reviews of Batgirl and Teen Titans which I will be doing for my pals over at Infinite Comix.

Labour Day is going to delay this week's comics, so expect those reviews some time this weekend.

LEGO Green Lantern Set Confirmed

I'M GOING TO WATCH IT SPIN UNTIL I CAN FINALLY BUY IT IN JANUARY.

Batman Eternal #15 Review: The Common Limit

My first review actually published over at DC Infinite. Be sure to check back for my next review of Batman Eternal #19 on August 13th. Hit the jump for a link to the review.

Batman Eternal #14 Review: The Natural Order

Another practice review for DC Infinite. Batman Eternal #14 features Jason Bard getting shit done, Penguin stabbing people, and Harper Row eating Cheese Puffs. Yep. 

Batman Eternal #13 Review: Something Worth Printing

Here is the Practice review I wrote of Batman Eternal #13 for DC Infinite. As a reminder, it's mostly different from what I usually post on this site, so bear with me. Stephanie Brown has a tough life. 

My Love of Stephanie Brown Is Boundless

I'm going to the Hospital.

Z Talks About Comics: June 25th, 2014

HERE IT IS. THE BIG ONE. POTENTIALLY THE MOST FERTILE WEEK OF COMICS THIS YEAR (that I can recall). We've got Batman, Justice League, Johns and JRJR's first issue of Superman, a new issue of The Amazing Spider-Man after what seems like forever (considering Superior Spider-Man was double shipped). Last but not least is a new issue of Saga! I've mentioned it before, but after this week's comics i wont have access to my comics until July 25th. During the summer I go back to my hometown (7 hours away from my LCS) so I can only have comics when I take a trip to the city. My next trip is July 25th, and after that will be the last week of August, when I return to university and this posts will hopefully be back on a regular basis. Even though I wont have my comics, i'll be trying my best to post news, rumours, and perhaps separate reviews of what i'm reading digitally. Anyways, on to the comics.

WOW.

Z Talks About Comics: June 18th, 2014

Another week, another Comics (thats not right). I've been trying to trim my pull for the summer, but the more I drop, the more I add. Damn comic companies making me buy every comics because something cool happens, and Marvel making pretty much every goddamn comic they put out 5 dollars. Anyways, here is what we've got for this week. A relatively small week before the onslaught coming next week.

What DC Book Are Cameron Stewart and Brendan Fletcher Doing Exactly?

What does it all mean? Which Book are Cameron Stewart and Brendan Fletcher supposedly doing? Does it have anything to do with Rich Johnson's "DC Band Aid" Theory? Lets take a look at the clues from Bleeding Cool, and the respective twitters.

Z Talks About Comics: June 11th, 2014

Isn't it nice to review comics? Yep. It is. I haven't done it in a while and hopefully i can keep up with it for the next few weeks, while i'm still in the city and able to pick up comics on a regular basis. At the beginning of July i wont have access to my comics until the end of the month or so (and the same goes for August) so i'll probably just be posting news, conspiracies, rumours, and Stephanie Brown worship articles. Yes, i am enjoying Batman Eternal.

Z Talks About Comics: May 14th, 2014

This week in comics was quite a small week. For DC Comics I picked up Green Lantern Corps #31, Batman Eternal #5, Futures End #2, and Justice League United (Canada) #1. It seems like there are getting fewer and fewer Marvel books on my pull, but in an effort to spend less on comics, i've been cutting out lots of books i'm just not interested in (The X-Books, and various new series that were launched recently).

Dustin Nguyen Reveals Stephanie Brown Design

Nguyen has a new take on the mask/hood thing. LOOKS PRETTY RAD. Also, that 3 part staff is super cool. BRING ON BATMAN ETERNAL!

STEPHANIE BROWN IS BACK

I'm going to go cry now.

Pick of the week confirmed. 

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I SPEND ON COMICS THIS WEEK? FEBRUARY 12TH 2014

Comics! Yay! TMNT and Afterlife with Archie got delayed, so my week looks kinda small now. Batman #28 has me unbelievably hyped.  

All New X-Men #23: It's time for The Trial of Jean Grey to actually get started. Will it be another shitty Bendis event? Will it be good? I don't know. I'll be reading it though.

Batman #28: I've already SPOILED this book for myself. I had to know what was going to happen. The hype is too immense for a mere mortal such as myself. I've pre-ordered this issue digitally on Comixology, and will be waking up extra early on Wednesday morning to read it. Let's just say my favourite DC (Comics in General) character will be making a special appearance on the last page (If the rumours are true). Expect a nice SPOILERIFIC screen shot Wednesday morning, and expect this to be pick of the week.

Green Lantern Corps #28: I'm kinda bored of Durlans already. I do enjoy this book, and i think Van Jensen will do a great solo job. When is Sodam Yat coming back though?

JLA #12: I'm pretty only sticking with this book because it will be over in a few issues. The Stargirl stuff could have been a lot better, and i'm getting pretty bored. Who knows, they could turn it around.

She-Hulk #1: Reading it for Soule. Soule is the only reason as to i would read a She-Hulk book. Pulido was also amazing on Hawkeye so i'm excited for this.

The Superior Spider-Man #27.NOW: There are Goblins, and they are at war. There has been a lot of build up for this arc, and i'm excited to see what happens. Peter Parker soon...

That's it for this week! Hopefully i'll have the patience to review one of these books this week! Midterm break might be the factor in all of this!

Harper Row Batman #28 Teaser

Cool. BUT WHAT WILL HER NAME BE?!

Batman #31 Cover

Greg. Mother Fucking. Capullo.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I SPEND ON COMICS THIS WEEK? FEBRUARY 5TH 2014

This week won't be too expensive thanks to Green Lantern/Red Lanterns #28. I spent too much last week, and these kinds of weeks are always welcome.

Action Comics #28: Action Comics has gotten really good since Pak and Kuder took over. Kuder's art is the absolute highlight, and considering that we had him with two other artists in #27, having him do the whole of #28 is a treat.

Black Widow #3: These sort of one shot spy stories with the weaving narrative are really fun. Edmondson is doing some great work here. Phil Noto better be staying on this book! He consistently kills it.

Earth 2 #20: Earth 2 Annual #2 was my pick of the week last week, and hopefully this one will be great too. Hopefully the story will move along a little faster. I think Green Lantern will be back soon so thats always good considering he has been missing for so long. Nicola Scott is taking a break this issue, so hopefully the fill in art will be good.

Forever Evil #5: YES. FOREVER EVIL WEEK BABY. I just get so hyped for every part of this book, and it only gets worse when an issue gets delayed. Hoping for some Sinestro return explanation, and Power Ring stuff. Isn't Jessica Cruz supposed to be in this series? (according to the teasers). There is a lot of ground to cover in only 3 issues, and it seems like it is only getting started.

Green Arrow #28: Jeff Lemire is good. He is probably my favourite writer at DC. Outsider War is pretty great so far. Let's hope it keeps up.

Green Lantern/Red Lanterns #28: Based on the sheer value, this should be pick of the week. I'll be reserving my judgement though. No doubt this will be a great book, Vendetti and especially Soule are both great writers and i'm excited to see what's coming in the GL Universe. Oh! i'm also covering Supergirl on the site now too! THE ART IS SO PRETTY.

The Punisher #1: Needless to say, i'm super hyped for this one. I really love the art style, and of course Nathan Edmondson is doing really good with the Marvel characters that use guns. Punisher is a pretty cool guy.

I may not have any reviews for these books out for this weekend due to stupid ass University work. Maybe expect a Review of the Pick of The Week on Monday or something. I've gotta go see the Lego Movie and Monuments Men too. BUSY BUSY. 

Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr. SUPERMAN!

I love me some JRJR. His Superman looks pretty rad too.

Glad Geoff Johns is going to be doing more than just Justice League now! Superman has been a pretty shit series since issue #1, now it's going to be pretty rad.

Mega Man X Crossover Teaser

I love Mega Man. The games mainly, but i have read a few issues of the comic series put out by Archie Comics. When i heard that X and Zero would be appearing in the back-up stories of Mega Man #34 and #35 respectively, i decided to add the title to my pull list (hence why it is on the side bar of the site). Mega Man X is too rad to pass up. 

These back-ups are supposed to lead into a Mega Man/X Crossover coming in the spring (and hopefully a Mega Man X ongoing FINGERS CROSSED) and today we got our first teaser of this crossover. 

Stay tuned for more Mega Man stuff. Guts Man's ass.
