A Week Late #19: Justice League Problems
Note: I wrote this about a month ago and because of scheduling problems (read: laziness) I never posted it. Issue 13 didn’t really change much about my feelings. They still treat Steve Trevor like crap, all of the characters are written strangely, if not poorly, and despite a fairly entertaining story, I find myself not caring at all about DC’s flagship title. After a year’s worth of books, (the zero issue doesn’t really count because … Read entire article »

A Week Late #18: Promethea
A Week Late and a Few Dollar Short seems a bit of an understatement every time I post here. 16 articles in about 2 years, that’s unforgivable. No apologies. Never give up, never surrender, never accept blame when you can shoulder it onto the consequences of life. I have recently finished reading Promethea by Alan Moore published from 1999-2005, 32 issues over 5 trade paperbacks and I’m slightly in love with the story in a way … Read entire article »

A Week Late #17: The Walking Dead #100
I picked this up in a special deal that my local shop was promoting whereby, for about $35, you buy the 8 basic variant covers and they include a ninth metalized (is that a word) version of the Charlie Adlard cover H. A fine deal. I’m not going to be able to get the Comic Con B&W cover and there’s no way in hell I’m getting the Charlie Adlard B&W 1:200 cover (currently going for … Read entire article »

A Week Late #16 – 2011-In-Review
BIG OL’ DISCLAIMER: This article contains major spoilers regarding many series of the last year in both Marvel and DC comics. If you would rather not have things spoiled, don’t read this quite yet. Also, I do understand that many of the covers that I used for the article came out in January this year, and it was mostly because I was too lazy to get the last one from December. Sorry. Here at the Website … Read entire article »

A Week Late #15: DC Reboot – Week 5
Week 5! We’re down to the end of the number ones. Yes, I’m a bit late, but forgive me because I’ve been dreadfully sick and I’ve had a lot on my plate to deal with and scant little time to be reading the funny books. This week was a bit small and there weren’t any of the huge titles of the past two weeks to deal with, but (barring Voodoo) it was a relatively solid … Read entire article »

A Week Late #14: DC Reboot – Week 4
Week 4! Batman and Wonder Woman! I don’t mention it in any of the reviews, but I want to point out a startling trend of these books to be very very violent. There is a lot of blood, a lot of cruelty that I would be shocked to see in the Ultimates let alone a main DC title. I’m not sure what this means, but it is worrisome on some level. DC seems to be … Read entire article »

A Week Late #13: DC Reboot – Week 3
I take on the third week of DC #1’s and try not to lose my enthusiasm for doing these weekly reviews. Sorry I’m late again. Also, sorry John and Aaron, I cuss a little bit in this one. Children, be warned. I shall first review the final two that I didn’t get to from last week: Static Shock #1 Written by SCOTT McDANIEL & JOHN ROZUM Art by SCOTT McDANIEL I want Static to succeed more than any other book here. … Read entire article »

A Week Late #12: DC Reboot – Week 2
Lordy, lordy, lord… There was amazing stuff this week. But there was also, some terrible, terrible, heartbreaking stuff this week. I remind you that this is spoiler-ridden and if you haven’t read this weeks books, do not read this until you do. Or if you don’t care to read them, know that I will tell you pretty much what you need to know from the stuff you’re not gonna read. Hawk and Dove #1 Written by STERLING … Read entire article »

A Week Late #11: DC Reboot – Week 1
The day of the reboot has come. It was largely a disappointment, but I don’t really know anyone who was expecting it to be anything other than complete garbage. I suppose I’ll start with the end, rather than the beginning. Flashpoint #5 Written by GEOFF JOHNS Art by ANDY KUBERT, SANDRA HOPE, and JESSE DELPERDANG In a word…or three: I hate it. This was a mess. Let me just start out by saying SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS because if you don’t … Read entire article »
