In addition to my regular haul of comics, I did my small part to support a good cause this week, by picking up an anthology book put out by The Hero Initiative charity. If you were at the shop and missed Hero Comics, you can look for one of two covers next time you go [...]
It’s that special time of year–the weather is cooling down, the shopping malls are filling up, families are coming together…and bloggers are rolling out holiday posts meant to tide over their readers for weeks at a time. While none of my books blew me away this week, it was a solid pull with Marvel, DC, Image, [...]
Ugh–new comics aren’t released this week until Thursday (because of the holiday), and by that time, I’ll be peeing day-glow and unable to mingle with the herd. That means any reviews I do would have to wait, and for all I know, I won’t get this week’s books until sometime next. If I do manage [...]
I picked up a fun batch of books this past Wednesday, just a handful of oddities in a slow week for my usual caped melodrama. And after a couple of mixed and meh pulls, it’s nice to know I’ve got nothing bad to say about this trio of titles. First up, Marvel’s answer to the [...]
Earlier this week, I wrote about my disappointment with the clunky conclusion to the otherwise enjoyable Marvel Zombies Return. Meanwhile, on the happy side of review town, Green Lantern #46 and Batman: The Widening Gyre #2 were both solid offerings from the Distinguished Competition. GL, especially, was a tight, exciting issue that more than made [...]
“New” seems to be a relative term with regard to my comics pull this week. Marvel rehashed the babyfied X-Men and the Spidey clone saga, Image icons Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman joined forces to create a strangely familiar “new” character, and Warren Ellis picked his nose and the Interwebs rejoiced. The X-Babies have always been [...]
Sinestro’s got a point. Halloween is a busy time for geeks and parents alike, so I’ll keep this week’s dose brief. With a double dose of DC Undead (Green Lantern and Blackest Night shipped–both were solid), I didn’t expect my favorite read this week to be so far removed from the Halloween spirit–yet somehow, amidst all [...]
I realize that my conservative collecting habits mean that I pretty much review the same few books over and over. I try to mix it up every once in a while with impulse buys, but, generally, you’re going to get a few thoughts on books like The Walking Dead, Green Lantern, and the batch of books in [...]
Another full pull for me this week, and hardly a bad book in the lot. You may recall from earlier in the week, I loved me some Giant Sized Old Man Logan. I even went so far as to suggest that the mini-series could be the best–or at least my favorite–comic of the year. But [...]
I returned to work this week, and with that, returned to my 30% discount at Cosmic Comics–so the pull was pretty large. Marvel’s Ultimate line relaunched and the black death continued to march across the DC Universe in Blackest Night. Also in the mix, we got a new Fables trade, another not-sucking issue of the [...]
