Venom #36 contains a version of the popular Spider-Man villain many readers may not be familiar with. But nevertheless, Flash Thompson’s bonding to the alien Venom symbiote is an interesting choice by Marvel and one that has seen great success for the Venom series since its debut in 2011. But is Venom #36 a good…
I’ve always felt that the best comic book series are the ones that I could imagine watching unfold during a really good television series. The odd thing about The Walking Dead is that it actually has been made into a television series. That series is pretty good, but at this point isn’t much like the…
Avengers #13 is the most important comic book to come out of Marvel’s doors in recent weeks. Outer space is a large, scary place and the vast unknowns of space have never been as important as they are in the “Marvel NOW!” event. With the unexpected return of the High Evolutionary, what other surprises are…

Everything you need to know is right here in Geek Insider’s review of Action Comics #21! Action Comics #21: The Story So…
Earth 2 Annual #1 is one of four jumbo sized, $4.99 comic books released by DC this month. Unlike the other three DC annuals, however, Earth 2 Annual #1 takes place in its own separate world. No super hero comic book continuity would be complete without confusing alternate realities. Despite DC’s drastic attempt to consolidate…
I saw these amazing Link and Zelda costumes at last weekend’s Animazement, and as I got closer to compliment the cosplayers, I realized both outfits were totally handmade. Zelda (check out her photos at Cookie Cosplay here) was kind enough to answer some of my questions about cosplay. What got you interested in cosplay? What…
Samurai How-To For this presentation at Animazement, four of the young men from stage-combat group The Jacabals demonstrated how to properly wear a hakama. A hakama is the wide-pants bottom worn over a kimono in old samurai movies. The Jacobals began with a demo battle in full, traditional outfits. Their translator called this type of…
Thor, Iron Man, Spider-Man and the rest of the Avengers are back in Avengers #12, and this time they’re learning to appreciate the hardships of parenthood…? Not only that, but they’re hanging out in a prehistoric jungle inhabited by dinosaurs. As usual, comic book writer Jonathan Hickman has brought the worlds of sci-fi and super-heroes…

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with either company, their presence in the comic book industry, pop culture and beyond often overshadows the efforts of smaller comic book publishers. Free Comic Book Day, which we have focused on…
Deadpool Killustrated poses some interesting questions. How do you defeat the un-defeatble? How do you beat super hero comic book characters that always win? And how can an indestructible villain die? The merc with a mouth Deadpool has got a pretty nifty idea of how to answer all three. Find out how in Geek Insider’s…
Ah, The Incredible Hulk. Comic books are such a diverse medium brimming with imagination, witty humour, thoughtful social commentary and much, much more. But after a long day of controversial comic book mutants, Marvel’s distasteful rape scenes and a whole load of shoddy comic books (I’m looking at you, Wolverine MAX), the mean, green wrecking…
Wolverine MAX #7 had the potential to be a truly gritty and visceral comic book worthy of the MAX Comics name. In fact, the ending of Wolverine MAX #6 left us with the promise of an enraged and vengeful Logan free from the shackles of his own self control. We expected blood and we expected…

Why such a convoluted title for what should be a simple introduction to Superman comics? The answer lies…
