There’s More Than One Cap in Town: A Review of Captain Freebird – American Prayer

Sometimes I think if Cormac McCarthy penned comics those books would read a lot like Matt and Shawn Fillbach’s non-Star Wars work. Ok… Maybe McCarthy wouldn’t delve into something like the Fillbach’s Tales of the S.S. Chunky Star, since that’s aimed at kids, but much of the Fillbach’s other recent work does possess a serious McCarthy vibe; heavy on imagery and tone while including great stretches with minimal dialogue.

‘X-O Manowar’ #24 Reviewed

Continuing their fight now at near-earth orbit as they drift away from the wreckage of the failed Vine invasion, Aric and the Alien (Malgam) continue to go at it. You’ll find Malgam is equipped with some kind of partial X-O armor himself and is able to regenerate, which makes this tricky for Aric.

Valiant Entertainment Comic Reviews for April 9th, 2014

Mission: Improbable, and the Archer & Armstrong crossover, concludes in this release and the fun stats right off the bat with Bloodshot and Armstrong going at it.

Artwork Sure to BioShock You!: ‘The Art of BioShock Infinite’ Reviewed

Overall, I found the art book and amount of concepts to really hit the spot. It makes me want to play through the game again just to look more at details I may have been blinded to. I am a big fan of the BioShock games which were worth the time and bucks to buy. The price of the book may be enough to buy you a discounted game on its own but for the amount of content I’d say you’ll get what you pay for, especially if you are a fan of the game.

Aliens, Soviets and More in a Must Have Collection: A Review of ‘Nexus Omnibus Vol #1’ TPB

If you’re not familiar with Nexus, first of all, shame on you. Second of all, Mike Baron and Steve Rude’s Nexus, originally published by First Comics from 1981 to 1991, chronicles the adventures of Horatio Hellpop, recruited by the alien Merk to kill mass murderers. Nexus is driven by dreams and physical pain to assassinate murderers, no matter if they repentant, ignorant of their crimes, or reveling in their mischief.
