Issue #13: Back to Action
A couple of months back I talked about why I dropped Action Comics and how it just didn’t seem to be very Superman to me. I’ve since picked it back up for a couple of reasons, the first of which is a...
View ArticleIssue 14: The Defending Bat-Panther-Spider!
DC have come out this week to announce that the name of the character we like to call “Wally” (or Waldo for our readers in the States) is actually “Pandora”. Check out the source here. While...
View ArticleIssue 15: Hmmmm.... needs more Batman.
Eeek, a too long hiatus this month, and I’m afraid we’re a little lower on content than we should be. Not that we haven’t been reading a lot, but it’s been a busy month in each of our lives. Until we...
View ArticleIssue 16: At least they actually HAVE a logo...
"Things the logo also sort of looks like: A ripped condom being removed from a wrapper. A large sticker being pulled off of a toilet seat cover." -Dylan Todd, Comics AllianceDC Comics are forging...
View ArticleIssue 17: 2012 movie preview edition
I’ll steer clear of the story of the week in comicsland, as I’m not really one to concern myself with legal battles between publishers and creators. Instead, I thought I’d get excited about what’s...
View ArticleIssue #18: Blue, green and spandexey.
I’ve been reading a lot of trades lately, and my single issues have been piling up. I’m not really into reviewing an entire trade paperback, so I’ve been a little absent. I’ll simply offer up a quick...
View ArticleIssue #19: Forget kryptonite! Try little explodey tentacle things!
Special thanks to good friend of Comic Burger Trevor who kindly designed the logo and banner that now grace this blog and our Facebook page (Comic Burger has a Facebook page which you are more than...
View ArticleIssue #20: Spidey vs Al Gore!
Just two reviews this burger, though one of them encompasses five comics. I’ve been reading more, but I figure ranting about Avengers Vs X-Men issue-by-issue might not be fun to write about, or read,...
View ArticleIssue #21: Ravaged by spelling errors.
Ends Of The Earth more exciting than Avengers Vs X-Men? Not that I’m hating AVX, but I just found Spidey’s event to be more of a page turner, with a good mix of humour and action, and just, well…....
View ArticleIssue #22: Tabletosity and comic downloadment.
As tweeted over a week ago, I purchased a tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, for those interested) and dived into this whole digital comics thing with gusto. I’ve mainly used Comixology, and began by...
View ArticleIssue #23: Zero respect for your market?
My last post gained a monumental amount of traffic due in no small part to my link to Top Shelf and the fantastic "What Am I Going To Do Without You?"by Patt Kelley linking back to my humble blog in...
View ArticleIssue #24: What exactly is in Whiskas these days?
Two blogs in one week is a feat not seen here since last year’s new 52, but I thought I’d take advantage of the last moments of my time off work. I really wanted to do something a bit special, but...
View ArticleIssue #25: Bruce Wayne's Docklands apartment.
Hey there folks! Here’s some thoughts on a few more zero issues. I realise these have been out for a while but my comic reading has taken a back seat to work and other stuff this month and I’m behind...
View ArticleIssue #26: A late look at the third wave.
There hasn’t been much time for blogging or reading comics lately. With my retail management job’s responsibilities ramping up to phenomenal levels pre-Christmas and selling my house, then moving all...
View ArticleIssue #27: Mouldy secret sauce kills the Boy Wonder.
This burger is not so fresh. Some filling is hot off the grill and the bread is today's, but there's a few ingredients that have sat out in the sun for over a month. After my last comics haul I wrote...
View ArticleIssue #28: Reed Richards runs the music industry!
Two months of writer’s block means I have a bit to catch up on here. What follows below is a look at some stuff that by comic book standards is pretty out of date, but with another DC 52 wave incoming...
View ArticleIssue #29: Calling this one Man Of Steel sequel so maybe Google sends people...
How could I let this happen? It seems I have let real life intrude on comics to such an extent this year that not only have I failed to keep up with every DC New 52 first issue, but as of writing I'm...
View ArticleIssue #30: Forward and backwards through time! CHOMP!
I can’t believe I didn’t reserve the rights to BatmanVsSuperman.com and SupermanVsBatman.com as I could possibly have netted a small profit before Warner’s showstopping announcement at ComicCon this...
View ArticleIssue #31: The burger that moos at you.
I’ve happened across a couple of other Burger themed blogs this week. I can hardly bitch about them too much, as shortly after creating this blog I realised it shared a name with a burger joint in...
View ArticleIssue #32: Superbarking for diversity!
The blog is a bit DC heavy. I admit that. It’s a direct reflection of my comic reading habits. So I’d just like to go on record that I think IDW and Dark Horse put good stuff out too, and some of...
View ArticleIssue #33: Infinite villains.
This week I offer thoughts on a whopping fifteen issues, taking a look at the current event number ones from Marvel and DC, then all thirteen issues out this week for DC’s Villains Month. I got them...
View ArticleIssue #34: I heart Harley.
Back already! There's not much time to rest if I'm throwing in on all 52 Villains Month issues. That's thirteen a week! Apologies, because I could have got this up earlier, but I scored NHL 14 this...
View ArticleIssue #35: Love In The Clouds.
I got the updated Comixology recently. Not that exciting really. It doesn’t do much new that I’ve noticed, just has things shuffled around a bit. I used to have to restart when redeeming codes for...
View ArticleIssue #36: Now my eyes can go back to normal.
I finally found the time to get through the last twelve issues of Villains Month. Much like my reviews for the New 52 number ones that birthed this blog, there were highs and lows, and this week was...
View ArticleIssue #37: Why Avengers 3 won't be The Infinity Gauntlet.
Yes, yes, long time between blogs and all that. Here’s a few thoughts on how an old classic relates to a modern audience, and a couple of DC number ones for you.The Infinity Gauntlet I decided to...
