Although practically every comics fan does (or should) know who Jack ‘The King’ Kirby is, and the inestimable debt that we all owe to the man. Without him, Marvel Comics would not be what we know and love today, nor would the face of DC Comics be the same. Can you imagine DC today without [...]
Dragons come in many forms…..

As much as I adore reading the many licensed properties that abound in the plethora of comics available today, I find I always approach adaptations with more than a little trepidation, if I ever give them my notice at all. Yet as we at ForeverGeek celebrate all things Game Of Thrones related with the coming [...]
How Much Is Six Million Dollars Worth Anyway?
Posted on August 26, 2011 Written by Leave a Comment
Quite the delicacy of first issues this week, and I am beginning to wonder if Dark Horse will retain its mastery of the licensed titles. Both Dynamite and IDW continue to challenge them with impressive offerings, as we see this week with the release of The Bionic Man #1 from Dynamite, and the return of [...]

Regular readers of this column will be aware how much I appreciate the beginning of a new universe, yet how often is it that we are treated to such an event with a universe that already carries such a distinguished pedigree. When I first heard about the Kirby: Genesis project by Kurt Busiek and Alex [...]

We are now on the third issue of the newest Vampirella series, taken in a whole new direction from the recent mini-series. No longer do we see the empowering message of ‘we are all Vampirella’ (well, sort of), but we return to the long-term battle between the Daughter of Drakulon and the legendary Dracula himself. [...]

So this week Tom DeFalco has returned to one of his old creations with Thunderstrike, and for me this is a return to some of the older more innocent style comics. Well, as much as one can perceive from a first issue. It’s nice to see Kevin Masterson again even if he has turned into [...]
Comics without copyright?
Posted on July 16, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
I had been thinking the past few days about copyright in regard to comics, what with the successes of Dynamite with Project Superpowers and the Black Terror, even as the original Daredevil also appears in the pages of the Savage Dragon and had been a background staple in the pages of FemForce. There have also [...]
The Return To Greatness Of Green Arrow, and Army Of Darkness not so much.
Posted on June 30, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
J. T. Krul, who impressed me so much with his handling of the Titans in his Blackest Night mini has returned the Emerald Archer (in one single issue) to the levels of greatness of the eighty issue Mike Grell series of the late Eighties. Where as let’s face it, the Evil Dead/Army Of Darkness mythos (and Ash most definitely) is not and never has been ‘great’.

I was too old to read Planet Terry the first time round but that didn’t stop me then, and it won’t stop me now.
