Sometimes they will agree and other times they will disagree. After you have heard all sides we want to know your opinions. In this edition of the Crisis Of Infinite Reviews Brant Where's My TailKatComic Uno  and Mike Spider-Slayer, Comic Book Corner 2.0 all sound off on a review of The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 16 Season Finale "Conquer"

Traditional Zombies VS Non Traditional Zombies


Traditional Zombies VS Non Traditional Zombies
By: Mr. J’s Comic Reviews

I separate zombies into two categories, traditional zombies and nontraditional zombies.  Hopefully by the end of the article you’ll be able to tell the difference and decide which you prefer.

So, How Over Reactive Is This?


Recently variant covers have been coming under fire for their treatment of the women on them. This really exploded last year when Marvel released the solicitations for Spider-Woman #1 which featured the now infamous "Spider-Butt" cover by Italian artist Milo Manara. That was followed recently by Bleeding Cool calling out IDW for the Dheeraj Verma variant to G.I. Joe #6 that featured the Baroness' booty. Which brings us to this article, where Bleeding Cool once again calls out a publisher for featuring a variant cover with "a very disturbing sexual overtone."
