Supergirl #26 Writer: Tony Bedard Artist: Yildiray Cinar Happy Mid-Week Mini Christmas, Geeks and a Geekettes! This week we'll be doing Supergirl #26, Longshot Saves The Marvel Universe #4, and Buzzkill #4.  While not a hardcore Supergirl reader, it is a book I've picked up occasionally and have kept up with the story. But this issue is a little different. This issue, we have fan-titled "Nu" Lobo. But whom DC calls "real" Lobo.  I'm really excited about this character and what it means for Lobo, Nu or otherwise. This issue picks up where Lobo #0 during Villains month leaves off. "Real" Lobo, svelte Lobo, thin Lobo, not-the-main-man Lobo, is in search of The Man Main Lobo, who is apparently an impostor. Small Lobo picks up some intel on where The Main Man might be hiding, but it was old news; The Main Man is hold up on Earth, and only one woman will know for sure where to find him. That one woman just so happens to...

Hey, Geek and Geekettes! It's time for the DC side of Mid-Week Mini-Christmas, also known as Comic Book Wednesday! Let's dive into those reviews! Constantine #8 Writer: Ray Fawkes Artist: ACO This ending of this book irritated by crap out of me. But we'll get to that.

Constantine fighting with Mr. E while Sargon looks on, unable to stop Mr. E, but neither is she willing to help Constantine - at least not directly. She leaves a sword called the Moonblade where Constantine can get to it, giving him the edge he needs to defeat Mr. E. Drained (and I bet, unable to see a way out out of his current situation without a confrontation, and als...

Hey there, Geeks and Geekettes! Welcome to another Comic Book Wednesday which means, of course, comic reviews! We'll start the week off with DC Comics Phantom Stranger #13 and Stormwatch #25. Writer: J.M. DeMatteis Artist: Fernando Blanco Phantom Stranger is a part of the more "magic centered" side of DC Comics, along with Justice League Dark, it has more of a Vertigo feel to it, but this time around, with the New 52 reboot, they're grounding this side of the DCU in more connection with everything else. It doesn't feel so disconnected as it did before. Phantom Stranger is a fun and... strange comic. It has heavy religious tones, as we're lead to believe that the Phantom Stranger used to be Judas, the very same who betrayed Christ and is now kept alive to do God's bidding in some undefined penance. This issue we find the Stranger in the house he's used for his alter ego and mortal guide, Philip Stark. Philip Stark was a real man - a serial killer, whom ...
