I need to spend less money on comics. For real.

#1 BOOSTER GOLD #1,000,000 - I gave my brother Sam the issues up to this one and he has no knowledge of DC history and he loved it. Thats how good this series is. 

#2 GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #10 - I like the book but I want this story line to wrap up. So we can see some Deathstorke or some of Green Arrow's new married status quo.



#3 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #17 - Wow It's been 17 issues. Alot has happened yet nothing has happened. Wierd. 

#4 FINAL CRISIS REQUIEM #1 - Morrison is sucking hard. The Martian still hasn't gotten his due and this cover is crap. 



#5 SECRET INVASION #4 - This series is sucking. 

#6 TRINITY #6 - I'm really negative. I stille haven't read issue 4 or 5 but I still like this book. I had no clue it would be better than Final Crisis. 

# 7 ACTION COMICS #867 -Johns is the best. Last issue was fantastic jump on this book. 

#8 CAPTAIN AMERICA WHITE #0 - Heard good things about this. 



#9 HUNTRESS YEAR ONE #5 (OF 6) - This series is actually good. Great art, quality plotting, and story telling. 



#10 ULTIMATE ORIGINS #2(OF 5) - This is the first ultimate book i've ever read. I'm confused.

#11 YOUNG X-MEN #4 - This is sucking. I'm going to drop it. 

#12 LAST DEFENDERS #5(OF 6) - Meh.

#13 IRON MAN LEGACY OF DOOM #4(OF 4) - I'm really not happy with the books this week. People write doom wrong in this.

#14 JOKER'S AYLUM THE PENGUIN #1 - The first one was okay. The art grew on you but Joker not killing people feels wrong. 

#15 DETECTIVE COMICS #846 RIP - I don't know if I'm picking this up if it'll help me understand RIP I will.


moment of weakness

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

By

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

Week 4

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...

Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

By

It's New Year's Eve! Which means it's time to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out - 11:00:00 If you want to kick off the new year with Nana vomiting all over Christmas dinner, oddly enough it happens EXACTLY one hour into the film so all you have to do is start the movie at exactly 11:00:00 Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:3...
