Legendary Star Lord #1: promising start to a cool character

The Guardians of the Galaxy are hot now.  Super hot.  We caught 17 minutes of the movie the other week and it is a new classic.  Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been our favorite comic for the past year.  They’re appearing in Silver Surfer this month and it only makes sense that Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon get their own comic.

Guardians of the Galaxy #16, great story & art-bring on the movie

I am not just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy is the best comic book out there now simply because of the movie coming out. I tried to embrace Green Lantern prior to that movie, but the story and movie just didn’t hold my attention. I have high hopes for the Guardians movie and have been reading this incarnation of the comic book since it came out last year.  Guardians of the Galaxy #16 continues with the team in shambles, spread out across the galaxy, trying to fight out of their situations and get back together.

X-O Manowar #26-immediately enjoyable on many levels

Here is what I knew about this comic prior to reading it: nothing.  But I was looking for something new and different that would have enough action and story to keep me curious while enjoying the art.  X-O Manowar #26 is great for action comic fans looking for something fresh.

Simpsons Comics #212: brings the funny to all ages

Sometimes in my search for the new and unique I forget the obvious.  I’ve found some great new comics that are perfectly suited for young readers, notably Skyward-which is great all ages action.  However, I’ve been reading Simpsons Comics for 21 years, it’s a great all ages comic that my son loves to read-when I let him.

How to navigate your child’s first comic con

I was priming my wife with all manner of questions about how to describe it.  Some of her friends said coo, while other said have fun.  Regardless, I knew that she was going with me to be with the boys, which was fine with me. Our child’s first comic con happened when they were 4 and 2, so I knew that they wouldn’t remember much, but I certainly wanted them to have fun.  Here are some tips that we learned during our child’s first comic con.

Oh, even though ours was a comic con, the same basic tips can be carried over to a baseball card show or any other fan conference.

Original Sin is this summer’s crossover from Marvel Comics

Every summer for the past couple of years Marvel Comics has been putting out event-crossover stories.  Certainly it’s an attempt to drive sales, but the stories can also be quite good too.  Avengers Vs. X-Men was two years ago and easy to grasp because it was what the title said.  The Age of Ultron was 2013 and very good, partially due to building up name awareness for the pending Avengers movie with the same name.  This summer’s crossover story, Original Sin, is less grandiose, has characters that aren’t known to broader comic fans but is still enjoyable here’s why.

Salem Hyde: Big Birthday Bash- classic children’s comic for all ages

Salem Hyde is a young witch who is also a typical six year old girl.  She’s hyper, gets in arguments with friends, daydreams, is forgetful and is constantly kept company by her smart, talking cat Whammy.  Adults will almost certainly be reminded of Calvin & Hobbes when they read Salem Hyde.  It’s infectiously cute and has wit, imagination and smiles on every page.  In that regards it is just like lots of classic cartoon characters.
