Starting in January, I’m taking Reviews Roulette to the people. Here’s how it works: You trust me with your mailing address and your very soul. I send you a comic in the mail. Then you send me back a review, which I will publish on here, under Post Comics. Bonus points for mailing me back…

Review: Brass Sun: The Wheel of Worlds
Brass Sun: The Wheel of Worlds Author: Ian Edginton Artist: I. N. J. Culbard 2000AD/Rebellion Ian Edginton and I. N. J. Culbard’s graphic novel Brass Sun: The Wheel of Worlds is not what you might expect from a 2000AD story. There’s no ultraviolence or grimness, and it’s not really a straight-up SFF or action comic….
Cook Your Comics: Indian-Inspired Shepherd’s Pie for Jack Knight, Starman
James Robinson’s Starman is one of my favorite comic series of all time. Published by DC Comics from 1994-2001, it has a memorable cast of characters: a found family that includes a number of actual family members. The series explores multi-generational family relationships across the whole hero-villain spectrum. The main character is Jack Knight, second…

DC Comics Super-Villains: The Complete Visual History Review
Okay, I guess I should start with my bias—I’ve never read a “complete visual history” book that I loved. Yet, I always go back, and when I see a book like this on somebody’s table, I get excited enough to flip through it. I find them perfect for brief reads while sitting on a couch…

Documentary Review: She Makes Comics
Lately, the fight to prove that the comic book industry can no longer be considered a boys club has picked up, but, it turns out, this whole boys club business is a fairly recent concept. Women have always been involved in the comic book and comic strip industry, and the documentary, She Makes Comics, proves…
Drink Your Comics: Redheads at the Bar
Redheads are a big thing in comic books. Ashley Schmuecker’s list of her top ten ginger comic book heroines continues to be one of our most popular posts. While we’ve shared some other festive alcoholic creations (Colleen’s Megahex cocktail, Claire’s Ginger Beer, and Ginnis’ mulled wine), we decided to revisit Ashley’s list with some more themed drinks to…
Drink Your Comics: Tarim’s Blood Mulled Wine
My roommate makes mulled wine every year during the holidays. Last year during the ice-pocalypse (I live in Texas, we don’t really get snow), we enjoyed many helpings of it while sitting in front of a warm fire at home because all the businesses and campuses were closed because Texans cannot handle snow and/or ice….
