My Latest Pull List – January 14th, 2015

Spotlight on Lazarus #14: I look forward to this book every month. The world building, characters, action, and political intrigue are exactly what I didn’t even realize I was looking for.

My Latest Pull List – June 4th, 2014

Eight books on my list and unfortunately not much time to talk about them. I worry for what that suggests for my reading time… Have a great week, everyone! ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #9 – It’s not as challenging as a weekly schedule, but the bi-weekly shipping of the All-New Marvel Now line makes it so easy to fall

My Latest Pull List – May 7th, 2014

Eight new books on my list this week. ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #7 – Can’t believe how many issue of this series have shipped since this debuted earlier this year.

The State of the Batmen (and Women) – Winter 2010/2011

This article has been planned since shortly after MLD ran the State of the X-Men piece back in November.

REVIEW: Brightest Day #16

Brightest Day keeps rolling along and the latest installment starts to stray (slightly) from the recent trend of telling a single story about one of the resurrected heroes in each issue.
