I've somehow managed to completely ignore Boom's on-going Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series due to a variety of factors. That's a weird mentality if you listened to the podcast or follow me on Twitter, because it's pretty obvious I'm a Power Rangers fanboy from back in the day. I've always had a weird relationship with the property, as it just wasn't considered "cool" when I was a kid for a very long time. Fortunately, Boom's gotten a handful of writers on hand who seem to share my adoration of the franchise, and I was curious as hell as to what they'd do with a Pink Ranger solo title.

A first look at the upcoming Adventure Time OGN from Kaboom!

I somehow completely missed the limited series Bill & Ted’s Most Triumphant Return last year, but recently read it and was really pleasantly surprised (it’s now collected in a trade that ships today, so you can catch up too!). I must have seen Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure a handful of times, and missed Bogus Journey (I was young and the robots …

It's a decidedly more grounded and yet stranger origin than we've ever seen before.

Penned by screenwriters Bradford Winters (Oz, The Americans) and Larry Cohen (Borgia) with art by newcomer Daniel Irizarri, the fantasy fueled, maybe alternate reality of Americans as illegal immigrants is as gripping as it is thought provoking. There’s still time to catch up on this sure to be sleeper …

Archaia dips back into the Jim Henson well, but is the latest 'Storyteller' as bewitching as previous endeavors?

I somehow completely missed when the first issue of this book hit last month, but here we are at issue 2. I’ve got to admit, I’m surprised it didn’t get a lot more hype when it first hit: after all, it is a book featuring an all-female team, which is something I see a lot of comic fans clamoring for. …
