Collider #1

Aug 2, 2013

Collidertakes an interesting premise of a world where physics can and will go mental and runs with it very well. Writer Simon Oliver's working-class heroes and relatable and interesting and artist Robbi Rodriguez's artwork is fun and exciting. Definitely a Vertigo title to be on the look out for.

FBP: Federal Bureau Of Physics #2

Aug 31, 2013

Writer Simon Oliver and artist Robbi Rodriguez deliver an excitingly frenetic second issue with well written characters and mind-blowing ideas. As long as the book doesn't become weighed down by its own concepts and remains fun, then we could be in for a long, enjoyable ride.

FBP: Federal Bureau Of Physics #3

Sep 12, 2013

Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez tread a little bit of water here with FBP #3. However, this series still presents some very ideas that make it a worthwhile read. Hopefully the conclusion of this opening arc will recapture a bit of the magic present in the series opening.

FBP: Federal Bureau Of Physics #5

Dec 3, 2013

FBP #5 is an excellent, character-driven issue. Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez deliver a well written and pencilled, pleasantly subdued, character study that will hopefully set the stage for the next arc to come.

Harley Quinn #1 is a uniquely funny title in the grim, dark landscape of the New 52. Writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti craft a funny tale, brimming with charm and charisma, and quite unlike anything else on the DC stands today.

Smallville Season 11 #58

Aug 3, 2013

Bryan Q. Miller and Jorge Jimenez deliver yet again with another action packed, exciting, and well written comic book. It is refreshing when an author “gets” a character through and through, as is the case here. If DC do ever seriously consider a Wonder Woman television show or live action film, here is a great example of an origin story done correctly. And for only $0.99, highly recommended.

Wonder Woman (2011) #23

This is long form fiction done right. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang deliver a stellar climax here that is both satisfying and at the same time leaves the reader salivating for more.

Wonder Woman (2011) #23.1

Sep 21, 2013

John Ostrander and Victor Ibanez knock this issue out of the park. Together they create a Wonder Woman tie-in that forges its own territory while still staying true to the story that Brian Azzarello is telling every month. If you haven't been a fan of Cheetah in the past, give this issue a read. You won't be disappointed.

Wonder Woman (2011) #23.2

Sep 25, 2013

Brian Azzarello and Aco put out a serviceable, if not very stimulating Villains Month tie-in issue. Next month should be much better, however, so be on the look out forWonder Woman #24 in October!

Wonder Woman (2011) #24

Oct 17, 2013

Brian Azzarello and Goran Sudzuka deliver another excellent entry withWonder Woman #24. Diana is clearly the star here, and the writer clearly understands the character well, but Azzarello does not skimp on further developing the rather extensive cast of secondary characters. Here's hoping he remains on the title for a long time to come.

Wonder Woman (2011) #25

Nov 21, 2013

Brian Azzarello and Goran Sudzuka deliver another exciting issue withWonder Woman #25. The title continues to be one of the best DCU books out today, with interesting characters, a deep and labyrinthine plot, and the occasional epic showdown. If only Cliff Chiang could stick around for more than issue at a time!

Wonder Woman (2011) #26

Dec 19, 2013

Wonder Woman #26,written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Goran Sudzuka, is a subpar issue with some great moments sprinkled throughout. Inconsistencies keep the issue from packing quite the emotional punch that it should have.
