Reviews – Batman Inc #4, Daredevil Reborn #3, Hellraiser, Dark Knight #2
Batman Incorporated #4 Written by Grant Morrison Art by Chris Burnham Review by Colin Grant Morrison has been hit or miss for me. He always has the big ideas, but sometimes it seems too big, too confusing or not complete. I always admire what he is attempting, but I also understand those of you […]

More Reviews: Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Daken
Uncanny X-Men 534 Written by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen Penciled by Greg Land and Paul Renaud I’ve always appreciated books that feature two stories at once. Matt Fraction’s latest Uncanny X-Men arc, “Quarantine,” does just that. Both stories, the H1-X1 virus and the Emma/Shaw problem, conclude in issue 534. Aside from […]
