Arc Review Aquaman 1-4: Terror from the Deep

January 27, 2012 in Comic Talk

If you read my Winter 2011 Pulls post you know that Aquaman was one of my favorites right out of the gate.  However, we’ve now come to the end of the first arc, lasting 4 issues entitled Terror from the Deep.  Rather than review the latest issue individually, I thought I’d start a new series [...]

Comic Book Ages Explained

January 26, 2012 in Comic Talk

Especially if you’re new to comics (and even if your’e a long-time fan), having an understanding of the history of comics can be a little confusing.  How can you tell if a comic was from the golden or silver age?  Well, I decided I’d make this handy go-to guide explaining what happened during each of [...]

The Packrat Show: Season 2, Episode 2 – Kids Comics

January 25, 2012 in The Packrat Show

Jack and I have done it again!  That is to say, we’ve reviewed 3 more books, done a goofy skit, and shed our dignity for your entertainment.  Not like we’ve revolutionized solar power or anything in case you got your hopes up.  But, we did have a lot of fun shooting this episode so check it [...]

Review: Avengers #21

January 24, 2012 in Comic Talk

I realize this is my first post on here, but I wanted to get started as soon as possible. This is a review I have been wanting to get off my chest since I read this book, so let’s get this started.  Currently in Avengers, Norman Osborn is back…again. He has put together a team [...]

How I learned to stop getting angry and start loving comics again.

January 22, 2012 in Comic Talk

If you have regularly followed the site, you’ll know that I recently wrote and posted a rather disorganized and poorly written rebuttal to a story that a Fox news affiliate covered.  It was filled with stereotypical fanboy sentiments and was just as poorly researched as the story that upset me in the first place.  After [...]

Review: Nightwing #5 – Unholy Matrimony

January 20, 2012 in Comic Talk

Initially I was a bit turned off by the cover of this one.  I mean, not just because it’s kind of gross but because after all of the great stories I’ve read from The New 52 having a cross between a klingon and what appears to be the fruit cellar lady from Evil Dead grace [...]

Why I Review Comics

January 19, 2012 in Comic Talk

While I love writing comic book reviews, it recently occurred to me that it’s kind of new territory for me.  In the past I’ve written a lot of movie and video game reviews over at GeeksPodcast and feel quite comfortable with those types of articles.  Mainly because I’d spent a lot of time well, watching [...]

The Packrat Show Returns with Lots of Uncomfortable Scott Snyder Love

January 18, 2012 in The Packrat Show

This might as well have been called the Jack show as much as he’s featured in the Season 2 premiere, but, nonetheless, it is copypasta’d below for your viewing pleasure. So, enjoy as we take a look at Batman #5, Chew #23, and Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man 6!  We also have a ton of new swag [...]

Artist Spotlight: Interview with Max Ink

January 17, 2012 in Artist Spotlight

Max was in the store this weekend with the Sunday Comix crew working on his latest project.  Because I badgered him to the point of null productivity he agreed to sit down and talk a little bit about his work, his new project, So it Goes.  So check it out below!

Event Comics pt. 2

January 15, 2012 in Comic Talk

Fear Itself (2011, 7 issues with 3 epilogue issues) Now this, this is a bad event book.  Fear Itself seemed like it would be a fun story from Marvel.  It was described as the ‘everyone gets a hammer’ event, pitting the darker side of the Norse Gods (Thor’s people) against the realm of Earth, the [...]
