With a ton of mega events to choose from in 2006, you’d think the Doomers would be salivating to annoint the greatest. Well, if you thought that, you were wrong. Still, we had a few thoughts. Civil War “I doubted it would happen, but I think Civil War has been executed very well. And I…
The Black Panther/Storm wedding “I don’t think anyone cared about what was dubbed “The Wedding of the Century.” Most fans had already grown sour on Reggie Hudlin’s Black Panther. And with Civil War going on, who the hell cares about the wedding between two wholly unimportant characters? People reading Black Panther, and that’s it. Just…
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,…
So you’re reading along in a comic, just minding you own business. You turn the page, and your eyes bulge out of your head. You’re overwhelmed for a moment and at a loss for words. Maybe you even get a little teary-eyed. Every year there are only a handful that stick with us. Those are…
So you’re reading along in a comic, just minding you own business. You turn the page, and your brow furrows. You’re overwhelmed for a moment and at a loss for words. Maybe you even get a pissed off. Every year there are only a handful that stick with us. Those are the moments we all…
This week, we’re collectively reviewing the latest “last battle ever between Sabretooth and Wolverine.” Will it be up to the level of that issue in which Wolvie popped a claw through Sabe’s skull, rendering him a kitten? Probably not. But, it has to be better than Wolverine: The End, right? Here’s what Marvel says: COVER…
A good cover isn’t necessarily all about the artist. A bad cover on the other hand… Rob Liefeld or Michael Turner? “There’s one question that no one has been able to give me an answer to since I first posed it two months ago: “Which cover is uglier?” Both Rob Liefeld and Michael Turner submitted…
“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…
While we all pretty much agreed on what makes a bad cover (or who makes a bad cover, rather), the Doomers torn on what makes a good cover. Does an iconic image make the best covers? A cast of thousands? Paint? I’ll just let you decide. Lone Ranger #2 “As has been picked elsewhere, the…
Although it may seem oxymoronic to have a mini-series entitled “Eternals,” Marvel has attempted to live up to the name by telling a six-part story in seven issues. I know it’s been about three months since the last issue came out, but, if you think back hard enough with me, the cover to that issue…
