1,000 Opas and a Dead Body

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On September - 2 - 2011

Skullkickers is the story of two fantasy-age mercenaries that in this story arc go by the dwarf and the big guy. Their only interests seem to be money and being anywhere the action is.

In this first story arc the dwarf and the big guy witness the assassination of an important official and in the process of finding his killer/retrieving his body stumble upon something even more pressing.

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Cowboy Batman!

Where do I begin on this one? It’s tough. Well, I guess I should start off by saying that Batman and time travel are two of the coolest things ever. No, not just two of my favorite things ever, two of the coolest things ever.

In The Return of Bruce Wayne, Batman starts off in cave man times and needs to make his way back to the present.

If Batman Was a Villain, and He Wasn’t Much Like Batman

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On March - 31 - 2011

Nemesis is the latest Mark Millar book to come out in trade form. Mark Millar, the comic book writer who will pitch a story to a movie studio before the first issue is out.

This is a confusing story, a very confusing story(not really at first, but the ending will leave you scratching your head). Nemesis is a villain who goes from city to city killing that city’s most famous policeman. After dispatching yet another chief of police, Nemesis sets his crosshairs on Blake Morrow, D.C. Chief of Police. From there the story gets twisty turny, and I don’t think I can say anything else without spoiling anything. (the “Nay” section could be a bit spoiler-y)
