Punisher #1 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Marco Checchetto For Frank Castle death comes easy…life is where things gets complicated.

Transformers DOTM Fireburst Optimus Prime Review
by Loran Usually I don’t go for smaller versions of big characters, but sometimes I’ll cave and do it. After the spectacular new Transformer Voyager Megatron, I needed an Optimus at about the same size to take him on. It really wouldn’t be fair to put such a small Megatron against the Leader Optimus, now [...]
Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Minis: SEED & UNSPOKEN
It’s been pretty crazy these past several weeks, here in the basement of Forbidden Planet NYC. There was the heat wave … and other things to, I suspect. I just remember the heat wave, then a blank period, and then waking up with a copy of RASL stuck to the side of my face. Of [...]
ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!
By Shannon H Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable! Row row– Ahem. Suffice it to say that there is a new TENGEN TOPPEN GURREN LAGANN book out this week and I’m super-dooper excited about it! Why, you may ask? Well, obviously because TTGL is freaking awesome, and also because its manga adaptation, amazingly enough, doesn’t [...]
The Lion and the Unicorn
By Unkiedev The nineties comic book boom (and subsequent crash) was based on two factors that are still cavorting through the forest of comics today. One is the Unicorn of variant covers, the other is the lion of investor speculation. See how nimbly they prance! The resale of comic books was viewed as a big [...]
The Road to Otakon & BAKUC prelims 2011
By Loran Otakon is almost upon us once again, and that of course, means many things: cosplay, buying stuff, and general nerdery… but for me, the most important part is the model contest once again. Good ol’ BAKUC Earlier this year I was so pumped up for what I was gonna build. I had them [...]
The Philadelphia Alternative Comic Con- August 14th!
Well, after a brief break, we are entering into convention season once more! And while the big-name comic-cons may be the talk of the town, we shouldn’t forget the smaller, more indie-friendly venues. This year will be my first time attenting the Philly Alt. Con, but everyone I’ve talked to says this one is a [...]
This week in new arrivals: Pirate-Batman, Supergods and the World’s Tiniest Fighters!
By Chris Troy It’s a good week to be a nerd, FPNYC faithful! Captain America is kicking ass in theaters (stay after the credits btw, the teaser for the next big Marvel movie is amazing!), there’s a plethora of awesome news coming from San Diego Comic Con (Play Arts Batman?!?!?!? Square-Enix, you are too kind!) [...]
Sergio Aragone’s Funnies
Sergio Aragone’s Funnies dropped this week thanks to Bongo! Matt Groening proudly presents an all-new monthly series by the world’s most famous and most honored cartoonist, Sergio Aragonés! Each issue offers an assortment of autobiographical anecdotes, perplexing puzzles, slap-happy short stories, as well as Sergio’s unique and hilarious pantomimes and gags. With this new series, [...]
There’s Indie Hipster Manga, Too!
By Shannon H The manga release list this week has been culled back from the usual extravaganza we’ve been getting used to as of late. For me, the most exciting of the new books is without a doubt the newest volume of Fairy Tail, but I’ve already had a nerdgasm about that in this column, [...]
Comic Con-gnitive Dissonance
By Unkiedev The San Diego Comic Con is happening tonight, tomorrow, and all through the weekend…without you or I in attendance AGAIN. How did we let this happen? It’s like the comic book rapture has occurred and we are left to fight for resources in the streets like unpure, heathen dogs. Arf. TOP 10 COMIC [...]
My little Vigilantes.
By Chris Troy Another Chris-written article, which means you should expect this to be super-hero toy heavy. In my defense, 90% of the articles Loran have written as of late have been Transformers based and FPNYC IS a comic shop, so my topic is warranted, given our average customers interest. And I do talk about [...]
Transformers DOTM Skids and Mudflap Review
By Loran Ah, the Twins. Characters that annoyed people so much they got taken out of the third Transformers film altogether. They never really bugged me, though, and the scenes that were written for them in Dark of the Moon probably would’ve made some people hate them a little less, but I guess the damage [...]
Transformers DOTM Ironhide Review
By Loran Ah yes, the “Autobot who loves to break stuff”. Almost every Transformers series had this in some way or another—typically, they were paired with a small sidekick or perhaps a southern accent. I’ve always liked the idea of having that one so-called “noble” soldier that’s really just there to smash stuff or blow [...]
