So Jim Doom and I seem to be disagreeing about everything today, be it Lost or Identity Crisis or puppies (I say they’re adorable). And of course, everything sounds meaner on the internet. So I’m presenting this in the hopes that we can put aside our differences and unite in our hate for two people…
By Brad Meltzer (W) and Rags Morales (A) Published by DC Comics. Cover price $14.99/24.99 (softcover/hardcover). Originally printed as Identity Crisis 1-7. The Plot: Long-kept secrets of the Justice League are revealed when Sue Dibny, the wife of the Elongated Man, is murdered, and the superheroes of the DC Universe race to find the person…
A while ago, Jim Doom made a post about his love of Mike Allred. A little later, he followed it up with a list of creators whose work he will buy no matter what. While I don’t have the appreciation of Mike Allred that Jim does, I do have my own list of creators that…
Dropped Book of the Week- Blue Beetle When I got done reading Blue Beetle #11 this week, I thought to myself “Why am I still reading this?” I didn’t realize until I looked at the cover that Keith Giffen isn’t co-writing the book. Cully Hammer, whose art I really enjoyed, isn’t on the book anymore…
Black Adam “My favorite hero of the year was Black Adam. From poking out Psycho Pirate’s eyeballs through the back of his head to tearing Terra-Man in half, he’s kicked all sorts of ass this year. Without him, “52” wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable. There’s just something terribly fun about a hero who’s not afraid…
It’s rare that in a category so broad, even two of us will agree on a choice. But a lot of really good heroes had really bad years in 2006, so the five of us were able to pin it down to three. That means those three had to have a level of suck heretofore…
Seems as though most of us had a really hard time narrowing down our picks down to just one “Best Writer” of 2006. Not surprising, we all chose someone different. Even more not surprisinger, it seems as though we were all debating between the same 5 or 6 guys. Maybe we should have just declared…
Whitest Cover of the Week- Civil War: The Return Yep. That’s pretty white. That’s just a bland, uninteresting cover. Apparently you can judge a book by its cover. Line of the Week- some random mad scientist, 52 Week 38, written by Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison or Greg Rucka “I haven’t been feeling at…
You may have started to notice a trend in these “Worst” picks. No one here is a very big fan of what Bruce Jones did on Nightwing. Unbelievably, three of us either hate someone esle’s writing more or managed to block out the entire run while making our picks. Bruce Jones “Infinite Crisis may have…
“Best ongoing” for us is really more like “best series,” since two of them are technically limited series. Although both of those limited series just seems to be going on and on and on, so maybe that’s how we got confused X-Factor “I judge this simply by which monthly I am happiest to see when…
