Being from a small town, the comics that mainly found my dollar were from the big 2. Once I got older and actually started going to comics shops, it was hard to turn away from those familiar titles and characters, to take a chance on a company that I didn’t recognize, whose books looked so different from what I grew up on.

The tech bug was one that didn’t bite me. I never had a need to know how things worked, never had that wonder when looking at a computer as to how the words I typed showed on the screen. Facebook and Twitter are a constant mystery to me. This bewilderment with technology also seems to have extended to my interests in reading Continue reading

Eternal Warrior #5 is advertised as a jumping on point for new readers. The first arc of the re-launched titled ended in Eternal Warrior #4 and here a new arc begins in 4001 AD as Gilad and his granddaughter are attacked by a machine. Continue reading

When I hear the name Valiant Comics I am always reminded of the dollar bins of the 90’s, when there were so many overstocked titles that they were practically giving them away. I remember very little of the actual content of any of the Valiant books. That is all changing with Valiant’s recharged lineup and titles like Unity. Continue reading

Welcome to “Resistance”. Leave your secrets at the door.
Over the course of its current run, ‘Harbinger’ has had a very strong ‘Us vs. Them’ vibe. What began as a simple tale of the possible-hero/maybe-saviour escaping the hard confines of Toyo Harada’a teachings at his Harbinger Foundation has, over time, become so much more. The vibe remains but it has focused Continue reading
BEST OF 2013
with Cory Thrall
When I started this crazy thing called Bag & Bored I was looking for something to kill some time and have some fun with. Nothing big, no readership - just silly meanderings on whatever comics I had read that week. Consider my surprise that here we are over a year later and with quite a cast of reviewers and writers on our team. One of the major pay-offs with this site has been Continue reading
Galen Garner had the opportunity at the North Carolina Comic-Con to sit down with Valiant Entertainment’s Atom! Freeman (Head of Sales) about what’s new in the Valiant world, and the famous Marvel artist, Mike Perkins. Have a look!

I grew up with a great love of the classical hero. At some point my mom let me watch the Ray Harryhausen classic Jason and the Argonauts, and from that moment I was hooked. Continue reading

I’ve seen this title being referred to as a “buddy cop” type pf story, only with costumes and super powers, and this is fairly accurate. You have all of the right fixtures - the strong, more experienced hero matched with the loose cannon crazy guy - all tipped in a thick coating of humor, science fiction, and mystery. Continue reading

I’ve completely enjoyed the new Bloodshot title from issue #1, onto the newest issue, and now to the origin story (of sorts) that is #0. Continue reading

Harbinger #11 is a continuation of the Harbinger Wars crossover event but is so masterfully written by Joshua Dysart that it doesn’t feel like a tie-in issue at all. Continue reading

Pete Stanchek has had quite the life thus far. One of three people ever to be born as an activated Psiot, and the most powerful one of his generation, this has caused him all kinds of trouble. His powers can be a gift just as much as they can be a burden. His story throughout this series has been a darkly sad and highly emotional (for both the characters and the reader) ride, and one that has found him and his companions in one problem and disaster after another.
