Last year I was fortunate enough to attend MondoCon in Austin, Texas. No lie it was one of the best convention experience I have ever had. A large part of that was due to the talented artists who attended. I discovered several artists I had not heard of before. Case in point, Aaron Draplin. Unfortunately, […]Read More

This year the Austin Comic Con was in early October, competing with Austin City Limits but that didn’t stop the fans from coming to this artistic event. My favorite thing about the Con was to see all the cos-players dressed up and I’m still amazed on how detail and creative some of the costumes were. […]Read More
Written by Maximum Jay Editor: When we received our invite to the press screening of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, we all gathered in Eutopia to have a battle to the death over the seats. At the very moment before the fight broke out, someone had the idea to get a real OG Expert to […]Read More

C2E2 has been an Expo since 2010 run by ReedPOP. These are the people that also run New York Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, UFC Fan Expo and […]Read More

I had the chance to attend Wizard World Austin Comic Con this past weekend and I have to say I was blown away to see how big it has grown since the first time it came to Austin. I saw so many celebrities there including William Shatner, Kelly Hu, Giancarlo Esposito, Stan Lee, Norman Reedus, […]Read More
“The one I’ve wanted to deliver since putting on the claws 13 years ago.” Hugh Jackman tweeted this one day before The Wolverine opened in US theaters. I was extremely excited to see this film, especially after the X-men Origins debacle. While I enjoyed rereading the 1982 miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller much […]Read More
While Wolverine is the most complex and interesting character in all the comic book universes, any and all film versions of him fail terribly at capturing him properly. The latest movie, The Wolverine, is a long-winded and overly sensitive depiction of the baddest of the bad in Marvel Comics. It’s amazing to know a […]Read More
In preparation for the movie The Wolverine, I re-read the preeminent series by Chris Claremont and penciled by Frank Miller. Originally published in 1982, by re-read I should clarify that I haven’t read this series since I was a small child. I was extremely glad I did. For one, it was great to realize how […]Read More
There is nothing like perusing the shelves of your favorite comic store searching for the latest issue of your favorite title. Avengers are fighting X-Men. The dead are still walking. Batgirl is a redhead again. Exciting indeed. Might I suggest to you, however, that after you’ve picked out your latest faves, venture to the back […]Read More
2009 saw a re-invention of the X-Men universe as seen through the popular comic series, X-Men Origins. Following one of the most enigmatic characters created for the Marvel universe, it explained the history of James Howlett, AKA Logan, AKA Wolverine. Since his introduction to the public back in 1974 in the last panel of The […]Read More
I have by no means been able to read every comic book title over the last year. But of those I did read, these are my favorites of 2011. Marvel Moon Knight – I’ve always thought that Moon Knight’s costume was cool. But this D-list superhero never had much else to offer than just another […]Read More
There are multiple reasons why I’ve put this comic series in the vault this week. One, is that X-men: First Class just opened. Another is that The Uncanny X-Force has Wolvie and the gang going to the Age of Apocalypse to stop Archangel from turning into the heir of Apocalypse. Also, Flashpoint is looking like […]Read More
So you probably haven’t noticed, but I haven’t posted anything to my little corner of Nerdlocker in over a month. So, over Memorial weekend I’ve been on a nerdy binge and have vomited up three articles. After spending a small fortune at the comic book store catching up on all I’ve been missing, I decided […]Read More
Just had to post this one up just due to the fact that it’s AWESOME!! Marvels Press Release: Marvel is proud to unveil superstar artist Adam Kubert’s, scorching variant cover to the second installment of the Dark Angel Saga coming this July in Uncanny X-Force #12! The red-hot creative team of Rick Remender and Mark […]Read More
In connection to my review on FF #1 and Fear Itself #1 (the variant cover), I am recommending Fantastic Four #348. Like many Fantastic Four stories, the plot leaves something to be desired. It involves a rogue Skrull trying to find an egg so that when it hatches the creature will bond to it’s new […]Read More
When determining the champion, I thought about doing something lame like declaring that neither of them wins. You know, like all those crossover comics where the two heroes battle until they figure out they’re both on the same side and join forces to defeat the true villain. I also thought it would be funny to […]Read More
