This post is a couple days late, obviously, but hopefully you can forgive its tardiness on account of 24 Hour Comic Day and the effects that event had on my sleep schedule. While I’m not exactly sure how this can possibly tie in with Final Crisis, I’m still entertained by what’s going on in this…
Well, my friends, I got my hands on some goodies this week. I somehow got a stack of some of next week’s Marvel comics (for free!), and, in the interest of full disclosure, I figure I may as well review them now. I won’t spoil anything for the good comics, but the ones that I…
It’s Tuesday review time, and leading off the pack is Detective Comics #849. It’s part 4 of “Heart of Hush,” and Batman is trying to find the bandaged Mr. Elliot. He starts by beating the snot out of Jonathan Crane, while a goofy (and un-scarred) Joker watches. We see more flashbacks of Tommy hating his…
Best Out-of-Context Quote- Secret Six #2 Batman: “I had a burrito.” Best New Direction- The Walking Dead #53 For the first 52 issues of The Walking Dead, everything has been about survival. Finding a safe place to live, finding a way to sustain said living, finding a way to not kill each other in said…
Welcome to the second part of our two-part Book of Doom this week, focusing on arc-ending chapters (that also happen to be written by Geoff Johns). We took on Action Comics #870 yesterday, and today we look at Green Lantern #35. Against my initial prejudice, this “Secret Origin” story got off to a good start…
I’d had the ending of this ruined for me by The Comics Reporter in an 8:10 a.m. no-mention-of-spoilers post announcing that Pa Kent died. I’m sure there are plenty of excuses and justifications for why TCP doesn’t or shouldn’t need spoiler warnings, but the simple fact of it is that I was unable to read…
So … “Wolverine and the X-Men” doesn’t look all that great to me. But then again, I’ve never been a huge Wolverine fan. Ragey short Canadian? If I wanted to see that, I’d watch this ……
Last week I ended up with only Marvel books; this week, I picked up only DC. Funny how that works. The only book I bought last week that I normally buy was Batman #680, which continues the main Batman R.I.P. storyline. Lots of stuff happens in this issue: Batman crashes the Black Glove’s Danse Macabre;…
We never got around to doing a proper Doom and Doomer review for The Dark Knight. At the time, I think we were caught somewhere between being overwhelmed by what to say and overwhelmed by the sheer number of reviews floating around mainstream culture this summer. So now, as the film finally starts leaving megaplexes…
Publisher of the Week- DC Comics Did at the Big Two not realize that September only has thirty days, so this wasn’t a fifth week? DC only published three non-weekly comics that I bought this week. Marvel published…zero. Wow. I can’t remember the last time I went a week without buying a Marvel issue. Book…
