    13 – Comic Book Ninja

    And the cast of characters in this epic webcomic continues to increase in number that will achieve greatness and become one of the best team books in the history of the universe!

    Seriously, I am very excited to see the return of Comic Book Ninja. And you must ask return? That is right because CBN and I are familiar with each other, and you will have to return next to week to get the full story. This is the beginning of a grand yarn that should entertain in the weeks to come and bring us right into spring!

    And to end, if you have not read the incredible Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis run on Justice League, which turned into Justice League International, which turned in Justice League America, do so. The issues are still very affordable in the back issue bin and DC Comics have also collected them in some nice Omnibus editions. Also, there is a wonderful podcast, called the BWAH-HA-HA podcast, that dives into all these issues and acts as a incredible companion piece.

  • A Cold Day in Hell

    I do not know about you, but I am absolutely loving Daredevil Born Again on Disney+. I was a humongous fan of all the Netflix shows and pumped my fist in the air, opened the window, and screamed out into the world my pleasure that Marvel/Disney decided to bring them back. This has definitely been a very satisfying continuation of that so far.

    So it should come as no surprise that the three issue mini-series, Daredevil Cold Day in Hell is my pick of the week. It is written by Charles Soule, who contributed the plotlines and villains that you are seeing in the current show. Also it is drawn by Steve Mcniven, a legend in his own right.

    If you did not catch Charles Soule’s run on Daredevil, then I implore you to stop what you are doing now and grab them. Because of the current show some of those issues are going to be pricey, but you can find the trades or hardbacks or whatever I am sure in the wild. It is a fantastic run, and if memory serves when I was reading it, it ran bi-weekly, which was an impressive feat in itself. Soule absolutely crushed it, so not only is it a joy to see his work on screen but also to read a bit more of his Daredevil starting now.
