Nate Bowden’s Holliday Having never seen the original movie, Tombstone, that this graphic novel takes a stab at updating, I’m not sure if I can comment on whether or not it’s successful in transplanting the story from the Wild West to the crime ridden streets.

Gotham Central Vol 2: Joker’s & Madmen The second collection from the Brubaker/Rucka written series, Gotham Central, follows the much the same formula as the first. While I liked this volume just as much as the first, it may pull ahead slightly thanks to the introduction of Joker to the series. His arc, Soft Targets…
Ed Brubaker’s Incognito: Bad Influences After I put down Incognito a few months back, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the sequel. Unfortunately, I was on the bottom of the list when it came to borrowing it from my local library. Instead of running to my local Chapters and snagging it as soon…

You hurt when they hurt, cheer when they overcome and anticipate what…
Mark Millar’s Old Man Logan Holy Shit.. that was violent. I know, I should have expected that from the man who brought us Kick-Ass but I guess I just wasn’t prepared for it. I even read Stephen’s excellent review which doesn’t play down or ignore the violence either. So, still.. why did this shock me? Maybe it…
