The second season of The 4400 was the first full season for the show, which was 13 episodes instead five, a number of episodes that is still about half of what you'd expect from a network television show these days. But being that it aired on cable, USA didn't feel the need to go for a full …

Quantum of Solace
While I have been a fan of James Bond since I was ten years old, I have to admit that there are a number of films I haven't seen (a number of them starring Roger Moore) and the last one I saw in a theater was Tomorrow Never Dies. A lot of that has to do …
Suicide Squad #59-65
With a slight pivot in direction having taken place and a five-part bannered storyline to kick things off, the creative team of the Suicide Squad seemed to be committed to keeping the book humming along even if, as I mentioned in my previous review, I didn't think it totally worked. But that's not without trying …
Suicide Squad #53-58
With the Squad officially not part of the government anymore (therefore relinquishing the "Task Force X" moniker), they've essentially gone full A-Team, taking assignments when they can. And while most of the characters that we have seen throughout the title are still hanging around, this kind of feels like we're heading into the final season …
Team America #1
Man, you will pick up some random stuff when it's the end of your time at a comics show and you're elbow deep in a fifty cent bin. I mean, that has to be the only reason I own this particular book, because I can't imagine why I would have picked it up. It came …
Suicide Squad #51, 52
After the big "family reunion" of the previous issue and before what will be a multi-part storyline beginning in issue #53, the Suicide Squad takes a couple of issues for some individual character development and focus, starting with Deadshot and continuing with Dr. Light. In the former story, someone has Deadshot's suit and is using …
Badger #43, 44, 45
A few reviews ago, I was seriously considering ditching the rest of my Badger run for the sake of my own sanity, especially since I haven't been as satisfied with this title as I thought I was going to be when I fished it out of a quarter bin last year. Two of these three …
I Can Barely Comprehend
So while I haven't checked in with her about it lately, Stella and I have a bet for this year to see who can read more books (the winner buys lunch/dinner). We've done it before and I've won, although I employed a graphic novel loophole to do it. So this year, it's straight books, and …
Gilgamesh II
Back in the early 1990s when I was constantly on the hunt for back issues of The New Titans, I used to come across a house ad for a series called Gilgamesh II, which was written and drawn by Jim Starlin. The ad showed an open escape pod from a spaceship and had copy that …
Suicide Squad #50
I'm going to sound like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but there was a time when milestone issues didn't seem to happen every other month. Granted, there are some titles who premiered right around the same time as one another, so issues ending in 00 might coincide, but there are also a …
