Now, this review may have a bit of bias as I love the WildCats by default. Ever since they first…

I have been enjoying the series so far. I’m not entirely sure as to exactly how this series will tie…

I got this book based purely on nostalgia, as back in the 90’s these things were popping up all over…

June 8, 2012 1:55 pm This news does have me worried for Young Justice, though I did enjoy the original Teen Titans series on CN when it first came out. I agree that this early into the second season it feels like Young Justice is ramping up and heading into what would hopefully be a huge epic story. Perhaps DC is thinking they couldn't repeat the magic that was the Timmverse, and are now focused on shorter series (by that I mean one or two seasons) but making sure that they have high quality stories. I'm okay with that if it means we'll get more shows from them that are short but really good like Young Justice.
June 1, 2012 12:47 pm I really like the Peter Panzerfaust cover. Once I get my budget back on track I'll pick up these last two issues I missed. As for the Rocketeer cover, that is just amazing art, right there. I'd like to see a version of that cover without the words/logos though.
August 2, 2011 8:52 am I am hoping that whatever stories Jason won't be able to include in the last stretch of issues would eventually get released as an anthology/one shot years after the series ends.
July 15, 2011 1:02 am Scott Pilgrim, the Kotobukiya statues, and Mighty Mugg are what i like the most. Realistically though, the Mugg is what i would drop cash for so Cap, Galactus and Iron Man would have some company on my shelf. I do wish that the Mighty Mugg SDCC exclusives were characters that arent as popular as Spidey and Wolvie though. It would be great to have a Mugg of Rocket Raccoon or Moon Knight.

August 22, 2010 10:37 am Well, I'm really happy about the move. IDW's Angel books were kind of pricey that I had to drop it at some point. At least I won't feel weird paying for the two books if they're going to be priced the same by Dark Horse.

If you want to try Evangelion out, there are two new movies that were just released, Evangelion1.0 and Evangelion 2.0. It's a re-telling of the series with a lot of tweaks and new story twists. So far, it's looking to be like a reboot and continuation of the first series, JJ Abrams Styar Trek-style.

@Molly, perhaps you can make a separate article on which Gundam series one could try, since there are a lot of series. 

June 30, 2010 6:40 am While I'm no longer capable of watching all the Full Metal Alchemist episodes I have on DVD simply because I can't stay awake, I have always enjoyed the FMA volumes I've read so far. Good story, and beautiful art work.
June 23, 2010 10:00 am Re: Jim Lee's comment, I think they're testing the waters for digitally exclusive content by releasing Zuda content on the app. I'm downloading Bayou right now. Zuda's web comic format suits an iPhone screen well and once they got that down pat, we'll see digitally exclusive content from Vertigo, Wildstorm and DC soon.
