Born and raised in the sparsely-populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Jon Maki developed an enduring love for comics at an early age.

Despite a very strong showing from “I just like clicking things,” there was only one actual comic book in the running this week, so spoilers lie ahead for… Superman #38 Writer: Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi Artist: Sergio Davila Cover: Oclair Albert, Ivan Reis Rated T $2.99 DC Personally, I’m kind of surprised that “I’m…

…so I tried to find something else to buy, but there just really wasn’t anything that appealed to me. I suppose I’ll have to look at other options for this scenario in the future, but in the meantime, you can still go through the motions by 12 AM Eastern on January 8th, if you want.…

Sigh. Okay, so now it’s a rule: one person, one vote. I mean, I kind of wish that everyone had that much enthusiasm and would vote at least once – the Weigh In posts get a lot more views than actual votes, which is kind of odd, given that it is pretty easy to vote, and…

The final Weigh In of the year brings us, fittingly enough, the last tale in the year-long challenge faced by the Last Boy on Earth, a tale of the Teen Titans for the sake of completeness, Batman finding that his problems go Beyond the Royal Flush Gang, Superman and Booster Gold continuing their time-travelling road…

You’d better not pout, you’d better not cry, and you’d better be aware that there are spoilers ahead for… Hellboy: Krampusnacht Writer: Mike Mignola Artist: Adam Hughes Cover: Adam Hughes $3.99 Dark Horse “That’s a pretty weird story for Christmas.” – Liz Sherman Last year, in preparation for being confined to my home for several…

I got my Christmas miracle, so spoilers await as we take a look at… Mister Miracle #5 Writer: Tom King Artist: Mitch Gerads Cover: Nick Derington Variant Cover: Mitch Gerads Rated M $3.99 DC Darkseid is. I’ve wanted to write about Mister Miracle since I started doing these Spotlight Sunday posts, so I’m glad to…

Superman and Booster Gold take a road trip to the past, oh, look, Wonder Woman is all chained up; that’s so unusual, it’s date night for Scott and Barda as Mister Miracle’s execution awaits and the comic gets its “Mature” rating, and the gods deliver a Wickedly Divine Christmas special. Voters in Alabama made the…

Another close contest this week, but with a narrow margin of victory, there are spoilers ahead for… Deadman #2 Writer: Neal Adams Artist: Neal Adams Cover: Neal Adams Rated T+ $3.99 DC “I will SO kill you. I don’t need my hip.” The thing that stands out as most bizarre for me with these Neal…

DC heroes bring a holiday message of hope…that this special will be better than the one for Halloween, at least the people of Apokolips don’t have to even consider voting for Roy Moore, Boston Brand is still dead and Neal Adams is still…well, Neal Adams, Sonja’s quest comes to an end, good love remains unsafe, Barbarella…
