I’m still a young man. I haven’t even had my 30th birthday yet. And I can recall a period in my adult life where I was blacked out from the internet for a solid six months or so. I used it at work, but that was only for work. I didn’t have access to any of my e-mail, I wasn’t posting on any forums, and social media didn’t even exist yet. And it wasn’t by choice, I simply fried my computer and lacked the funds to get it repaired.
And yet, even typing that out feels like a different life now.
One computer’s death eliminating all internet access? What am I? A neanderthal?
The movie that I just wanted to do well, so that it would open the door to other adaptations. The movie I just wanted to be good so that momentum kept going. The movie that I loved and just hoped would make a decent pay day until something else knocked it off.
That movie? Is now the #1 grossing movie of the year.
You go Guardians of the Galaxy. Now anything can get made.

So, this review is going to be a little different. Because DHP is an anthology, I’m going to rate and list the creatives for each story independently. Which may make a bunch of people hate me… Continue reading Dark Horse Presents #1 (2014)→

I have a special fondness for this annual. Not just because I love when Kevin Eastman gets to write and draw the Turtles again. Not just because the book goes back to classic gray-scale when the Turtles are transported through time and space. But because this reintroduces a character (Renet) that was originally introduced in the special Turtles/Cerebus issue way back when. And while Cerebus doesn’t make an appearance this time, it does seem as though the great warrior they befriend is wearing Cerebus’ helmet from that story…
Classic Turtles tale. And for anyone that has never read the original series but wants to see what it was like? This annual is the one you want to pick up.
