Top 10 Artists to Watch for in 2012: Take Two

Rokk K. posted an article on - Jan 20, 2012, 12:00 am
Andrenn dished out an interesting Top 10 Artists to Watch for in 2012 that really got me thinking.  Art is so highly subjective and it seems that comic fans debate more about artists than writers.  Since Andrenn and I only agreed on one artist I thought it would be fun to give my Top 10 Artists to...

Is Flashpoint #1 Sexist?

Rokk K. posted an article on - May 17, 2011, 4:11 pm

Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine #5 Review

Rokk K. posted an article on - Mar 29, 2011, 9:09 am
Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine has been a fun story.  Yes, the plotting and pacing have not been the best on this mini-series.  Issues #3 and #4 certainly bogged down as the story meandered without much of a purpose.  However, I am sure that Aaron will get this story back on track and firing ...
