Jondee here on Electric Island (Dendo shima), I’m a fan of Kenji Tsuruta, his Spirit of Wonder published by Dark Horse was brilliant, and now he has Wandering Island from Dark Horse Manga. It is in the handy manga size with a cover featuring our heroine, Mikura Amelia, a lanky girl with two long braids […]

Jondee here in the Dark Dimension, At San Diego Comic Con, the new poster for Doctor Strange dropped. It has the good doctor in full Sorcerer Supreme outfit emerging from the window of his Sanctum Sanctorum surrounded by mandalas of New York. The new trailer has the narration by the Ancient One played by Tilda […]

Jondee here at Shanghai, Gene Luen Yang has brought in a new Superman to the DC verse. He was known for American Born Chinese, a brilliant graphic novel as well as many others including Paths & Portals in the Secret Coders series, Avatar: The Last Airbender comics for Dark Horse, and a run on the […]

Jondee here at the city (not identified, New York? Metropolis?), Bryan Hitch has guided the greatest super team into the Rebirth, the special has a Bryan Hitch cover with the Batman and Superman in the back and the other Leaguers, now with two Green Lanterns, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz, facing front. The Justice League […]

Jondee here at Kamar-Taj, The Marvel prelude comics, written by Will Corona Pilgrim (and Fred Van Lente) bring readers and MCU fans up to date, but no big spoilers before the films. Still, potential spoilers! The film by Scott Derrickson is set for release on November 4th. This issue, Doctor Strange Prelude #1, features the […]

Jondee here at Amnesty Bay, Aquaman swims out of Rebirth under the writing guidance by Dan Abnett with a cover by interior artist Brad Walker, it’s a jam cover with Mera and Garth swimming in Atlantis, Aquaman in the center with trident, flanked by Black Manta and Ocean Master (their weapons end with bloody blades […]

Jondee here at Bwunda, The cover to Wonder Woman #1 by interior artist, Liam Sharp, features the warrior Wonder Woman bearing a sword, Steve Trevor in the background, and a were-creature with the rest, Hippolyta, and Ares, not featuring in the story. Also in the corner is the logo celebrating 75 years of Wonder Woman. […]

Jondee here on the Finalizer, We finally have another Marvel adaptation of a Star Wars movie with this limited series. I’m not sure how many issues it will last; I’m guessing five issues. It has a nice painted cover by Esad Ribic with Rey standing in front of Finn and BB-8 with the Falcon overhead. […]

Jondee here at Aduba-3, The Entertainment Weekly article (released online on June 22nd) introduced the characters that we saw in the cast photo from last year. Interesting was Donnie Yen’s character, Chirrut Imwe, a “warrior monk”, like the blind Zatoichi. This was a swordsman created by Kan Shimozawa and turned into a series of films […]

Jondee here at Gotham, Brian Azzarello and Frank Miller were working on The Dark Knight III: The Master Race with Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson providing the art. It’s a pass after The Dark Knight Strikes Again, there was something missing from Miller’s artwork and story, a focus or drive. I think Azzarello may be […]

Jondee here at Cleveland, Howard the Duck is an absurdity in Marvel’s stable of characters, created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik, eventually making it into a 1986 Howard the Duck film. We may also know him from Howard’s cameo at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).  It seems like comics creators are […]

Jondee here at Spindrift Station, Geoff Johns revitalized Aquaman with his run on the New52, this kinda sputtered out, and some other writers took over. I liked Jeff Parker’s run on the title following Johns ending with Aquaman on a quest to find his mother through gates. Dan Abnett took over at the end of […]

Jondee here at Themysicra, The New52 rebooted Wonder Woman’s origin as yet another child of Zeus instead of clay under Brian Azzarello, she hooked up with Superman for some reason, ignored by Azzarello, then Geoff Johns wrapped it up with Grail, the Amazonian daughter of Darkseid(?), and it was revealed, a twin brother. This tangled […]

Jondee here at the comic con, One of the interesting parts of comic book collecting is getting an autograph from a creator. This could be at a convention or store signing. It is fun to go through your collection and select some memorable or key issues. I usually keep it at three issues, but there […]
