April 20, 2012 - 8:02am

The conclusion to Joshua Hale Fialkov's guest run on Doctor Who will resonate with established fans of the property, but it probably won't win any new ones. Still, it should satiate the hunger of those waiting for the familiar roar of the TARDIS to return to their TV screens.

Eric’s IDW Publishing Review: G.I. JOE VOL 2 #12

April 6, 2012 - 9:33am

Despite a few dialog stumbles, G.I. Joe Vol. 2 #12 is a great example of IDW salvaging the childhoods of a generation through comics while cynical attempts at cash ins are continually announced for the cinema. Chuck Dixon's tale has emotional resonance, subtle villainy, and guys with strangely specific code names.

Eric's Image Comics Review: INFINITE VACATION #4

April 4, 2012 - 7:20am

Even with one issue to go in the miniseries, Infinite Vacation has catapulted itself to greatness and is a great proof of concept that the creator-owned segment of the medium can incubate something truly creative.

April 4, 2012 - 7:19am

Roger Langridge is in the running for one of the best all-ages comics of the year as he continually fine tunes Snarked, while staying consistent with what works. There's some smart laughs for adults and even more for younger readers/co-readers: namely, an engaging eight-year-old female protagonist.

Eric’s IDW Publishing Review: G.I. JOE: RETALIATION #3

March 28, 2012 - 1:25pm

Although G.I. Joe: Retaliation #3 lets back story overshadow its actual story, it's still a fun book to read. If nothing else, it should satiate the needs of long-term fans of the property as they wait in anticipation (or fear) for the June 29, 2012 release date of the feature film.

Eric’s Image Comics Review: BULLETPROOF COFFIN: DISINTERRED #3

March 28, 2012 - 1:22pm

The concept of God(s) has been a philosophical conundrum addressed since the Golden Age of comics. Bulletproof Coffin: Disinterred #3 tackles the issue by putting immutable power in the hands of a sociopath child with a lighter. There's a lot going on in this book with much material with which to ponder.
