This is a big week for comics books. Fantastic Four – the first family of Marvel Comics – is killing Johnny Storm in issue #587 out this week. To add further insult to injury, Fantastic Four is ENDING as of #587, after more than 40 years. No, we’re not Fantastic Four monthly readers here, but [...]
Knight Errant
Star Wars Knight Errant #1 Off to a great start
John Jackson Miller had a great comic book run with Knights of the Old Republic — though we often thought that the artwork was lacking. With Knight Errant – artwork isn’t an issue — it’s awesome. Kerra Holt is a great character – an angry Jedi with an ax to grind trapped behind enemy lines [...]

Buck Rogers
Buck Rogers #10 – No That’s Not Hawkman
issue #10 finds Buck on the Han airship — as it turns out they like prawns (eew).

Buck Rogers
Buck Rogers #8 – Goodbye Challenger
Buck Rogers has emerged as one of our favorite series. Issue #8 is another fine outing – this time wrapping up the Space Beneath story arc. The whole point of this arc – originally was to bring Buck back to his ship – the challenger – but of course a bunch of Nuke loving subterranean [...]

After 46 previous issues, this issue is one that we’re bittersweet on. You see Knights of the Old Republic ENDS at issue #50 – and this story arc – titled DEMON is the last one. Yes that Malak (not yet Darth Malak) on the cover.. This issue is all about one thing – somehow for [...]
