With Morrigan, the death goddess who kind of looks like someone the X-Men would have taken on around this time, shows up in issue #20, Torin wakes from his coma to tell everyone that she lives, one of those "THIS IS IMPORTANT!" moments that a show can throw your way. Is it? I'm not entirely …

The 4400, Season 4
At the end of season three of The 4400, Jordan Collier had returned and set himself up as a true messiah figure, going from L. Rocketeer Hubbard to Rocketeer Jesus (he's played by Billy Campbell, so I couldn't resist), and has started using his people to distribute promicin, the enzyme that causes people to get powers, …
Starslayer #19, 20
So I mentioned a few reviews ago that it's clear that John Ostrander was establishing a new status quo for Starslayer. But unlike the many times I have seen this done in comics and on television, there wasn't one issue where the supporting cast was jettisoned in favor of a new group of sidekicks and a …
Starslayer #18
You notice two things about Starslayer #18 right away: it's a full-length story that teams our heroes up with Grimjack (who is about to get his own book) and it's printed on better paper, which if it isn't Baxter paper is pretty close. The price hadn't changed, though. We open with Torin at the prison and going …
Grimjack: Buried Past
So this isn't a "keep, sell, donate, or trash" type of comic because a couple of issues into John Ostrander's run on Starslayer, First was publishing backup stories featuring his and Tim Truman's creation Grimjack. This isn't anything new to the comic--as I noted, issue #2 of the Pacific Comics series is going to prove to …

Starslayer #16, 17
So ... is Torin crazy? Or is everyone out to betray him? Well, when #16's main action takes place, it seems like the former because he's going after whom he thinks are assassins and mowing them down to the point where Tamara literally fights him on it. I guess it doesn't help that he walked …
Starslayer #14, 15
When I saw the next issue blurb at the end of issue #13 that Tim Truman was going to take over pencils, I got excited. Oh yeah, I had been enjoying the art up to this point, but I really liked his artwork on the Hawkworld series as well as his work on The Kents, and even though …
