Hawk & Dove: First Strikes

By Michael David Sims
16 May 2012 — The reason I loved DC Comics in the 1990s was because they took major chances by publishing books like Impulse, Aztek, Xero, Young Heroes in Love, Resurrection Man, Major Bummer, and Hitman. Some lasted while others didn't, but there was an air of excitement surrounding the company and it gave the industry a kick in the ass. So, when it comes to the DCnU, I greatly respect what they were trying with books like Hawk & Dove, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Voodoo, OMAC, Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE, and the new Resurrection Man series. But the problem is, when everything is supposed to be new and fresh — including Batman and Superman — the smaller books suffer for it.

A Few Words on Jeff Lemire

By Michael David Sims
11 May 2012 — Until recently, I had read very little of Jeff Lemire's work. Off the top of my head, I had read the first two or three issues of Animal Man, some of his Superboy run, and the first issue of Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE. So I was mostly unfamiliar with him, only knowing him by his growing reputation, as well as my deep love of those Animal Man books. So I thought he was the perfect choice to start off this new series of articles.

By Hannah Krueger and Will Ackerman
09 May 2012 — Episode 25 of Big Damn Heroes is here, and, oh baby, we're at the season climax! On Angel, old faces appear in unexpected places, and the overarching plot for the rest of the series is set in motion. Over on Buffy, timelines are really screwed up, Spike and Giles own the show, tensions explode, and a character goes God tier. Do they make sense? No, not really. Also, the season ends. But wait, there's another episode of Buffy left? Oh, and that other thing Whedon did recently is briefly discussed. Join Hannah and Will for some shawarma as they discuss Buffy's "The Yoko Factor" and "Primeval," and Angel's "To Shanshu in LA."
