Snake Eyes confronts Optimus Prime as the forces of G.I. J.O.E, Miles Mayhem, and M.A.S.K prepare to move into action, but nothing can prepare the heroes of the IDW universe for what they are about to face as the battle lines are drawn! Continue reading →

The 50th anniversary celebration of Star Trek continues with Star Trek Boldly Go #1, the brand new ongoing series from IDW Publishing by Mike Johnson, Tony Shasteen, and David Mastrolonardo. Captain Kirk and his iconic crew’s adventures boldly go beyond the final frontier to embrace a new era of Star Trek, with strange new worlds, new civilizations, and a threat unlike anything the Federation has ever seen before.

Review: Hard Case Crime Twofer

Posted on by

(Hard Case Crime/ Titan Comics- 2016)

If you’ve never heard of a “twofer” before I apologize.  In the cannon of my youth, that was a great deal, a “two-for-one”.  Although you have to purchase these books seperately, I’ve reviewed them together…such a deal…and you’ll want to go out and get them anyway.  Titan Comics has partnered with noir publisher Hard Case Crime to showcase new and old crime stories. It’s a move that can only benefit both companies and I had a chance to look through their first two releases,Triggerman and Peepland, on sale on October 5 and October 12 respectively.  After reading both of these firsts…holy crap…these are great crime books, and that entails all you might think as far as content.
