My Rating “Better Off Dead” Jared Stevens stands alone in pitch-black nothingness. There is a light somewhere in the far distance, but he has no idea where he is or how the hell he got here. The last thing Jared remembers is surfing the internet at Burnsteel’s shithole apartment while Burnsteel’s sister, Vera, was busy
My Rating “Signs” Boston, Massachusetts—somewhere near Jared Stevens’ slum apartment building, the pounding of heavy footsteps echoes around a street corner. It’s Fate, and for once he isn’t charging into battle. He’s running for his damn life! Behind him, a ravenous horde of giant sewer rats gives chase. Desperate for answers, Jared snatches a cellphone
My Rating “A Tale of Temporary Farewells” Baron Winters sits peacefully in a majestic field somewhere within a prehistoric landscape. He has some idea how he arrived at this strange location, but the reason for his journey remains a mystery. Extinct animals wander freely across the countryside as creatures from different periods of history coexist
My Rating “Assisters of Mercy” 2:30 a.m.—high above the darkened streets of Gotham City, its most famous landmark suddenly illuminates the night sky. The Bat-Signal is shining over police headquarters, but there’s one small problem: Commissioner Gordon didn’t turn it on. Within twenty minutes, Gordon comes crashing through the front doors of Gotham City Police
My Rating “Gotham Atrocity” Gotham City, where the creeps never sleep! Nina Skorzeny is busy slam dancing the night away inside a local punk club when a very familiar song starts blasting through the speakers. Wait a minute! That’s a Scare Tactics song—and nobody in the band gave these guys permission to use it. Has
My Rating “The Lycanthropy Bop” The thunder of a half dozen Harley Davidson motorcycles roared through a back alley street somewhere in Eastlyn. The nights in Gotham City always bring out the worst in people. It’s even worse when tourists come to town. Robin is on the prowl tonight and the rogue biker gang has
My Rating “The Serpent and the Rainbow / The Downward Spiral” Metropolis, the shining beacon of America, is bustling with activity today. In the downtown shopping district, residents stare into the afternoon sky with bated breath, hoping to catch a glimpse of the city’s youngest hero—Superboy. The young Kryptonian hasn’t been seen around these parts
My Rating “Convergence Part 04 of 04” Late night at the club, Scare Tactics easily shreds the competition in the battle of the bands (no pun intended, they literally shredded them). Meanwhile Etrigan jumps from the pits of hell into the mosh pit! The scene becomes a full on Donnybrook brawl. Good guys two, bad
My Rating “Convergence – Part 02 of 04” On the run from the mystical dimension of Gemworld, Prince Topaz desperately searches for someone powerful enough to stop the coming invasion. Earth certainly has no shortage of mystics, sorcerers, and supernatural heroes, but finding one willing—or able—to help is another matter entirely. Jared Stevens, better known
My Rating “Dreamers of Dreams: Part 03 of 03 – Perchance to Sleep” Albertus “Magnus” De Groot sends another silent command to the television screens hanging high above the sleep chamber. Every thought generated by his ancient mind travels along fiber-optic lines connected to a massive mainframe computer. His brain waves are translated through some
