Hi, guys. Adan tells me I have some explaining to do. I was absent last week, and terribly late this week, and will be absent again next week for a combination of reasons that include incapacitating illness and ridiculous levels of business simultaneously. It’s also possible that some of my reviews this [...]

Sorry for the delay folks, but I fell ill with a sickness that has mostly laid me out (it took me an hour and a half to crawl out of bed). Still, I strove to bring you this column by the end of Wednesday. I hope you can forgive me for being so weak. — [...]

Big-ass spoilers for every single book we review this week, including 52 down in the And Others… section. You have been warned. –Adan
Amazing Spider-Man #538
Adan: So, the big, huge event that’s supposed make Peter start wearing the black duds again is his dear old aunt getting shot in the midsection. I’m not saying watching your [...]

Astonishing X-men #20

Adan: I’ve said it before, and I’ll continue to say it until it’s no longer true: Whedon’s all flash and no content. This is yet another issue in which a lot seems to happen, but it’s all just padding. There’s a couple of funny lines, some “Fuck Yeah” [...]

Action Comics Annual #10
Adan: This has been touted as a book which lets readers peer into future Superman storyarcs, but all I see here is the resurgence of the Silver Age. Kryptonian criminals, Mon-El, Bizarro World, multi-colored Kryptonite and… are those statues of the old-school Legion of Super-Heroes in the Fortress of Solitude? Oh, sweet [...]

AG Super Erotic Anthology #50

Laura: Mom, Dad—I love you guys. And I totally appreciate how you read this column every week, even though you have no idea what I’m talking about. Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to ask you to sit this one out. Seriously, stop reading now. [...]

Listen up, kids. If you care, read your comics BEFORE you read the column this week. We spoil the hell out of the very crappy Civil War: The Return and the quite excellent Invincible, as well as Silent War and Wolverine, although not as much. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
100 Bullets #80
[...]

Cable/Deadpool #36

Adan: There is no Cable in this issue. It’s all Deadpool, and that’s the way I like it. After the spanking Deadpool received when Cable made a fool out out of him on international TV in order to discredit the Registration Act, Deadpool’s been a man on a mission trying [...]

Hey kids! Here’s a note to let you in on our brand new “And Others…” section. At the end of the main column, there may be a few more notes on other books that we didn’t cover. You see, we pick the books we want to talk about before we ever actually see them, so [...]

All Star Superman #6

Adan: This almost makes up for your crappy Batman run, Grant. Almost. We get awesome 853rd century Supermen that help Pa out with the harvest and we get Krypto too. Yeah, it’s sort of reused Grant material from the DC One Million super event a few years [...]
