It’s Monday afternoon and I still haven’t read any of my comics from last Wednesday. Okay, I read New Avengers since it was this week’s Book of Doom, but other than that I haven’t read a comic in well over a week. Instead, I’ve finished Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and started…
I tell you, it’s a good thing that Ganthet and Sayd were kicked out of Oa. The other guardians were right – these two have let their emotions go to their heads. They’ve been letting their love of earth people cloud their judgment, interfering with their impartiality. from Green Lantern #24…
DOOM DELUISE: I hate the nickname “Spidey.” JIM DOOM: Same here. If Spider-Man was my friend, I wouldn’t call him that. DOOM DELUISE: I’d call him Spider-Man. JIM DOOM: I might start to come up with nicknames after a while, but I definitely wouldn’t call him Spidey. It just sounds condescending and emasculating. DOOM DELUISE:…
She’s long been the super-powered, lasso-wielding harbinger of justice as Wonder Woman, and post-Crisis she created a secret identity and worked for the very government agency trying to track her down. Oh yeah, somewhere in there she tried her hand at masseuse. Now, a new identity for the princess of the Amazons. Exotic dancer, coming…
Nothing I bought this week was anything special. Everything was just as good, bad or so-so as it’s been for a while. Criminal was great, Cable & Deadpool was tremendous fun, The Spirit was confusing, Countdown was boring…you get the jist. So no reviews from me this week. But just now I was looking through…
There’s a new Marvel Zombies book out this week. What makes this one special, after the glut of Marvel Zombies-related comics that have been put out since the original mini-series surprised everyone with it’s popularity? The fact that this one has pretty much nothing to do with Marvel Zombies at all. Today, Marvel released Marvel…
I have to give some serious credit to DC Comics for coming up with the title “Wonder Woman Annual #1.” Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right, a nice summary story to help prepare for the inevitably overblown Gail Simone run on Diana’s book? Let’s see what DC promo says: Written by Allan Heinberg; Art…
I don’t like Brian Michael Bendis. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after reading my fair share of Bendis comics. There’s only one thing he’s done that I outright hated (Avengers: Disassembled), but there’s only one thing he’s done that I really enjoyed (The Pulse). Everything else of his that I’ve read falls somewhere between…
Last night, I sat down to watch the new Superman/Doomsday animated movie (thanks, Warner Bro’s, for the review copy) and was actually even more sucked in by the bonus documentary about the death of Supes in the funny books. I doubt that anything said by Mike Carlin, Jerry Ordway and the like was especially revelatory,…
It’s been happening for a few months now – more and more comics are getting nudged up to that $3.99 price tag. I could go on about how comics were only a buck when I started reading, but the point of this is not just nostalgia – can the comics market really sustain $3.99 cover…
