Comixology Unlimited is unlimited reading with a catch
“The Netflix of Comics” is a pitch that’s been rattling around the internet for years as something of the killer app for digital comics. It’s the genesis of Marvel Unlimited, the Webby Award winning application that allows subscribers to binge read from Marvel’s library, for a fairly steep price, with […]
3 New Comics Look to the Past & Push Violence to the Limits
We tend to see history progressing one way and comics are no exception. We see crystallizing, genre defining moments like the death of Gwen Stacy or Watchmen or “The Flash of Two Worlds” as moments where everything changes but that’s not really the case. Comics are always, in one form […]

The #NerdsRead Pull List – January 6, 2015
Nerdophiles’ favorite James Tynion IV appears twice on our list this week, with one of Sam’s five-star reviews of The Woods and Jackson’s four-star review of Batman and Robin Eternal. Sam also found what’s so compelling about Giant Days and Kylee continues to appreciate Mystery Girl from Dark Horse Comics. Jackson also gave a five-star […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – December 2, 2015
Sam found the penultimate issue of John Flood to be somewhat of a letdown, but continued to enjoy The Woods, both from BOOM! Studios. Kylee tried out Mystery Girl, a new series offering from Dark Horse, that impressed her with the boring, everyday bits more than the story itself. Jackson continues to enjoy East […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – November 25, 2015
Fight Club 2 continues to be the bane of Kylee’s existence and she continues to read it out of sheer spite. At least Jackson enjoyed DC Comics’ The Omega Men and Grayson. He also is still on board the Saga train with the rest of us comics readers. All of his comics fro this week’ […]
“I Hate Fairyland #1” Really Hates Fairytales & Suffers For It
There’s no more important or misquoted line in American cinema than “I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.” This is at least partially because, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” is sort of a terrible line saved by great delivery but it’s more about how […]

The #NerdsRead Pull List – September 23, 2015
Sam found Negative Space to be worth the almost three month wait, while The Spire is starting to lose her interest narratively speaking. Kylee also had one awesome read – the always fantastic Arcadia – and one read that she wishes she could quit. At this point, she’s basically hate-reading Fight Club 2 if […]
