Trinity #4

In the lead: Superman seems to be not quite as KOed as it appeared last issue. He and Wonder Woman take the fight to Konvikt on the outskirts of town while Batman investigates the vessel that brought Konvikt to Earth. In the back-up: Tarot has a dream about Despero. Really. My take: Okay, so the…

A Difference of Opinion, Part 2
(feat. Marvel Executive Editor
Tom Brevoort)

Posted in

This is the response to Part 1 of A Difference of Opinion. I don’t think there is necessarily anything wrong with using fill-in artists to keep a book on schedule. So when DC announced they were going to use Carlos Pacheco to help J.G. Jones to meet Final Crisis deadlines, I can at least say…

A Difference of Opinion, Part 1

Posted in

When DC announced last week that they would be adding Carlos Pacheco to the creative team of Final Crisis in order to keep the book on schedule, Jim Doom brought up a very good point. This decision is eerily reminiscent of the choice Marvel made a couple years ago regarding Civil War, even though in…

Book of Doom: Wolverine #66

Posted in ,

I like Wolverine. He’s a cool character. I find it enjoyable to have a few drinks with friends and get into ridiculous arguments about who would win in a Wolverine vs Batman fight. He’s just a fun, versatile character that is a major badass. But, boy, do I hate his comic. I don’t regularly buy…

Trinity #3

In the lead: Konvikt beats up the entire JLA, including Superman. In the back-up: Tarot gets attacked by some local thugs, who in turn get attacked by a mysterious werewolf-like creature, who mentions that Tarot “is meant for the three who are to rise.” My take: Oh crap, this isn’t a good sign. Quite frankly,…

A Final Crisis crisis?

Posted in

As reported by Newsarama.com, Carlos Pacheco is joining J.G. Jones on Final Crisis art duties starting with issue #4. Newsarama quotes Dan DiDio as saying Pacheco is being added to keep the book on schedule. This reminds me of a situation back in August 2006 when Marvel announced they would delay Civil War in order…
