The Low Orbit anthology is definitely one to look out for coming in November from Image comics. Definitely one to look out for. Reminds me of the excellent Flight Anthologies from the past couple of years.

The torpedoes detonated prematurely, your Highness. I only hope enough damage was done to buy us some time. Princess, you must get to a transport immediately! The future of the Rebellion depends on your safety!
Future? I’ve seen what that battle station can do, General. The Rebellion has no future.

X-men | Last stand review

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ May 23, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Speaking of the X-men, Mike’s gone and given the latest installment in the X-men movie franchise a thumbs up. Like I’ve said before I’m quietly optimistic regarding this movie, but this does bode well in general.

Astonishing X-men

Grant Morrison is a very tough act to follow. When he’s on fire he’s better than most writers in the comic book field, when he’s not on fire, he’s just really really weird. Unfortunately for Joss Whedon, Grant was firing on all cyclinders for his run on New X-men. He just made the X-men that […]

Without a doubt that is the single best Authority story I’ve had the pleasure of reading since Warren Ellis wrote his 12 issues of pop thrill package. What makes it all different however is that Brubaker cleverly decided to step away from the established 4 issue story arcs where things blew up more and exploded […]
