KaBOOM!
Release date: December 19, 2012
Price: $3.99
Let me be straight with you. I adore Adventure Time on Cartoon Network. This means that I am automatically drawn to anything that carries the name. It also means that I’ll be twice as critical. The best parts of Adventure Time, after the stories, are the insane animation. I was a bit worried how this wonderful series would play out in comics form. There are other TV series, animated and live-action, that have let me down when they crossed mediums. After reading Adventure Time #11 I have to say that my fears were unfounded.
Issue #11 is written by Ryan North and is a new arc in the Kaboom production of the comic series. A perfect jumping on point for new readers, including this reviewer.

The GoD List: Comics For January 16, 2012
|
 |

Each and every week, I, “Rabbit Troop Forever!†Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. Naturally, I look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of my pull list, grab some comics, and I’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of January 16, 2012. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.
You guys may not care about this, but hockey is back this week, and that has me excited. Almost as excited as the comics coming out this week. Okay, I’m probably more excited for hockey, but comics are a very close second. Anyway, it’s another great week with some pulp action, a milestone issue, and hey look at that, another new Wolverine series if you’re interested. All that, plus a collection from one of my favorite creators means I will have plenty to read while kicking back this weekend and watching the sport of Canadian kings. So, order some poutine, stop by a Tim Horton’s, and relax as we spend two minutes in the box with The GoD List!

The GoD List: Comics For June 20, 2012
|
 |

Each and every week “Americana Assassin†MK2Fac3 and “Midwest Marauder†Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of June 20, 2012. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.
Whhaaaaat?!!? You remember me, right? Well, I apologize for the lack of fac3 (faceless?) time on these here websites. A lot has changed recently and Tuesdays and Wednesdays have become even busier for me recently, what with the new job and all… (pausing for congratulatory high fives), so I’ve been away for like a week or something and some have said that I phoned in the previous week’s, but to those people (HENCHMAN!!!), I say this, “I’m back, BABAY!” And there have been some truly amazing comic books over the last few weeks. Did you guys read Creator Owned Heroes? I may be jumping the gun a little bit since it’s only been one issue, but I honestly think it could be a game changer. And while this week may not be jam packed full of potential game-changers, there’s some really good stuff to look forward to. So, follow me past the break, so that we can talk about all the great comics that are coming out this week. This is The GoD List, after all.

New Spock Origin Comic In JJ Abrams Guest-Edited Issue of ‘Wired’
|
 |
I spent a lot of time this weekend driving around Brooklyn, searching for the recent issue of Wired. Apparently, unless you’re looking for guns and ammo, fishing, or nudie rags, you won’t have much luck finding a magazine like Wired in this town. (This is still New York City, right? Could have fooled me.)
So, into Manhattan I went to a magazine megastore and found the issue, called “The Mystery Issue,” which was guest-edited by Star Trek director JJ Abrams. Inside is Abrams wrote an essay, “The Magic of Mystery,” about enjoying mysteries and solving puzzles in our “Age of Immediacy” and how spoilers ruin the intended experience for people. Abrams also picks the items for the monthly feature “What’s Wired” and there’s a small feature on “Big Red,” the nickname for the monster seen on the ice planet in the upcoming Star Trek.
But the item that really made search the borough and beyond was the 6-page mini-comic book, When Worlds Collide, which finds a marooned elder Spock reflecting on obstacles he overcame in his youth and challenges faced as a crewmember of the USS Enterprise, all of which are flash-backed to. This short, but highly interesting little story ties in to the upcoming film, which see Leonard Nimoy returning to the franchise in his memorable role as Spock.
