Elsewhere Review – J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell’s Danger Girl: The Ultimate Collection
Read the original piece (okay, I wrote this in 2003) HERE at Green Man Review! Let’s face it; if you spent your life stealing stuff to make a living, wouldn’t it be tempting to chuck your “career” for a guaranteed … Continue reading

And now for a spooky tale… Since this is a comic book, I’ll go with my usual Off The Shelf system. Enjoy! Nutshell: Back in 2013 I wished for more than 17 pages of this story. They delivered. And I … Continue reading
Off the shelf: Oh, Hell Vol. 1
Nutshell: Cool premise, slick art, beautiful colors, and characters you wanna root for. I’m not fully understanding the mythos yet, but I’m digging the story. Oh, Hell just jumped into my webcomics queue. Story: Poor confused Zoel. Doesn’t know where … Continue reading

Off the Shelf — New Suicide Squad Vol. 1: Pure Insanity
Nutshell: Just like Harley’s poor brain, New Suicide Squad: Pure Insanity is muddled and violent. But unlike Harley, it’s not necessarily entertaining. It has its moments, but as DC is already rebooting the lineup, I’m guessing they felt the same … Continue reading
