Comics You Should Be Reading: Green Wake

Whether you're looking for a comic with psychological or supernatural themes, or just feel like something other than a superhero book, you should be reading Green Wake. Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossmo's title has grown to be one of my favorite titles on the market. Here's why.

Review: Wolverine and the X-Men #1

He's the best at what he does. And what he does...is run the Jean Grey Academy? Professor Wolverine is kind of a catchy name, but I at least hope that his professoring isn't very nice. Check out our take on the latest adventures of Sniktbub and his crazy crew of X-Men here. Bub.

Review: Spaceman #1

Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso team up again for the 9 issue Vertigo miniseries Spaceman. 100 Bullets is a tough act to follow. Does Spaceman measure up? Find out what we thought of the first issue here, or take advantage of the $1 pricetag and try it for yourself.

Review: Aquaman #1

Added 11:07 PM, Under: , , , , ,

The general public perception of comic book characters is typically very different than the perception of actual comic book readers. "They wear their underwear on the outside." "Those are just for kids." "BAM! POW! Holy rusted metal Batman!" The...

Scott Snyder Talks Batman, His Writing Process, and More.

Added 10:07 PM, Under: , , ,

Earlier this evening, Batman and Swamp thing scribe Scott Snyder offered to answer the craft and writing questions of his Twitter followers. He gives some great and encouraging advice here, and I recommend any aspiring comic writers give it a read. Since going back and reading old Twitter posts isn't easy, I figured I'd compile it here so that as many people as possible could enjoy it. Okay - so...

Review: Justice League Dark #1

Added 2:53 PM, Under: , , , , , ,

I've always loved the magic side of the DC universe, and as might be expected, I was pretty excited when Justice League Dark was announced. It didn't hurt that the book's line-up was awesome. Zatanna! Constantine! Shade the Changing Man! But with high...

Review: I, Vampire #1

Added 11:26 AM, Under: , , , , ,

A vampire story isn't the easiest sell to comic readers right now. The popularity of things like Twilight have left many non-fans hostile to the very idea of vampires. This isn't helped by the complete oversaturation of vampires in the current market....

Review: Green Lantern - New Guardians #1

Added 3:24 AM, Under: , , , , , , ,

Here at the 52 Review, all of our writers work together. We're like a family. Albeit one of those creepy families you see on day time talk shows, but still. And one of the things we do is say what book we're going to go over. And before this site...

Review: The Flash #1

Added 10:21 PM, Under: , , , , ,

Before I begin this review, I need to be honest about something: I was going to enjoy this comic no matter what. Francis Manapul is one of my absolute favorite comic book artists, and I knew going in that even if every word bubble was filled with Wingdings,...

Between titles like Batman, Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey, and Supergirl, this week had some of the best art of the new 52. Great art doesn't always make for a good panel, but it definitely played a role in the panels chosen for this week. So before we...

Review: Wonder Woman #1

Added 4:51 AM, Under: , , , ,

YES! FINALLY!  This is seriously what I have been waiting for this entire reboot.  This comic has what I’ve been looking for in all the first issues I’ve read. It’s engaging, yet simple enough for any reader to jump in. The comic opens up...

Review: Birds of Prey #1

Added 10:01 PM, Under: , , , ,

When I heard that all this series was going to get cancelled and restarted again, I was a little hesitant about it. It had just recently restarted, so restarting it again seemed a little unnecessary. The issue was a little complicated to follow. While...

Review: Captain Atom #1

Added 9:24 PM, Under: , , , ,

Captain Atom was one of the bigger surprises of the new 52. The character isn't what I'd call obscure- he's appeared in several DC animated shows and was a part of recently popular maxi-series Generation Lost- but I don't feel he was a character that...
