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…
So far, we’ve recounted lots of the good and the bad of 2006 in comics, from series to covers to issues to moments and so on. The following is something that didn’t quite fit into our “best of” rubric, so I offer it as a standalone thought. And that thought is, of every bit of…
I think I like that cover. It’s fairly neat. For those of you paying attention, it’s time, once again, for the entire Legion to get together for a round-table discussion of an issue that came out this past Wednesday. This week’s pick is Wolverine #50, and, from what I’ve seen, it appears that we’re all…
A pretty strong week, though very top heavy. The stuff at the bottom, well, ugh. Three of the worst books I’ve read in months came along this week, which made it all the easier to appreciate that which didn’t totally blow. To the books… Seven: The Goon Noir #3 After wholly disappointing me in 2006,…
“The Horsemen have come! The end is near!” So says the ticker on the cover of this week’s issue of “52.” We’re only shown three of the Four Horsemen, the harbingers of the apocalypse, as foretold in the Book of Crime, as built by Intergang’s group of captive mad scientists on Oolong Island. The fourth…
Spoiler of the Week- the cover to 52 Week 37 DC has a nasty habit of spoiling the story inside 52 with what’s on the outside. Here, we get confirmation that Booster Gold is Supernova on the cover before it’s confirmed in the actual story. They’ve done it before, with the “death” of Booster Gold….
I’m not sure if these are on shelves yet, but I just found them in the mail from Archaia Studios Press as preview material. And, unlike when it took me way too long to review The Killer #1, I figured I should post something on these while they were fresh. Interestingly, both of these series…
A weak week, with only four books, but a strong showing from DC, earning my every dollar. It could be argued that there isn’t much point in writing a weekly review when I pick up so few books (a regular load for me is 8-10), but what can I say? I only read books that…
This week opens at the exact moment that last week closed. I guess the scene takes place at the stroke of midnight. Supernova and Rip Hunter are in the bottle city of Kandor, and Skeets is waiting outside. Supernova grows in order to confront Skeets and hold him off for long enough so that Rip…
Dysfunctional Team of the Week- New Excalibur Juggernaut’s in love with Dazzler. Dazzler knows it and loves the attention, so she strings him along despite having no feeling for the big lug. Nocturne knows what Dazzler’s doing, and is pissed off about it because she has a thing for Juggernaut. Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom…
