If you frequent this site, I'll assume you read other comic sites. So, chances are you have heard of The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and how the title was dropped by Wildstorm/DC after six issues and is now being published by Dynamite Entertainment ...

Our "split" review of Spider-Man 3 worked so well, I thought that we could do it again. This time we will tackle 28 Weeks Later from Fox Atomic. First up we have a review by Shawn Mayo then a second by Chris Dooley. Read on then give us your comments ...

Ok, I need to preface this review by saying I don't read a lot of indie stuff. I tend to stick with Marvel, DC and a few things here and there from Vertigo, Image and Dark Horse.

Nova #1 Writer: Dan AbnettArtists: Sean Chen & Scott HannaPublisher: Marvel Seeing as how I wrote a post a few weeks ago touting the return of Nova in his own series, I figured it was only fair that I read and review it.

Looking around my home office it occurred to me how my reading habits have changed over the years. The list of monthly titles I read is much smaller now than before but the bookcase that houses my trades and graphic novels is almost filled. My weekly pull list is about half what it used to be but I'm spending roughly the same, if not a bit more, each month ...
