The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #54 by Dan!

All right folks, we all survived Free Comic Book Day, the Phoenix con, the San Diego Con and the Fourth of July, so we’re back in the business of buying comics. Are you out of money? Too bad! It was a huge week with plenty of great stuff, so let’s dive right in and do this! (Sorry in advance, but the big books, to me, this week were all Marvels. DC just got boring this week, so deal with it.) The Infernal Man-Thing #2 Writer: Steve Gerber Artist: Kevin Nowlan I don’t know the back story on this, just that … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #53 by Dan!

Oh man, bet you didn’t expect me to be back this soon, did you? Well here I am, so let’s do this! Mind MGMT #2 Writer/Artist: Matt Kindt This books makes my brain explode. You start with the cover’s hidden words, you read the story inside both covers, that hints at the ideas of the coming issue; you read the issue using the foreshadowing blue lines along the side, then you read the part of the second story that explains a bit more that might come around. THEN you read the letters page that shows more and the fake back … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #52 by Dan!

By having entry 52, this means I’ve been doing these reviews for 2 years. How times flies! I’d like to thank you all for reading and I’m sure you’d like to thank me for writing. Well, here’s some more writing for you to be reading (I’m just going in circles), Let’s do this! Manhattan Projects #4 Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Nick Pitarra While Hickman embraces subtlety and the slow burn in his other title, Secret, this book is where he really goes out of his mind. It’s like he had a bunch of pent-up ideas about creations and people and … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #51 by Dan!

Well folks, I’m back! It’s been another long week, full of wonderful comics, so here’s the best of the best. Let’s do this! Uncanny X-Force #26 Writer: Rick Remender Artist: Phil Noto With each issue, X-Force moves closer to the consistent quality of X-Factor as the best X-comic on the stands. There’s nothing here that you won’t like. Remender has a voice for every single one of the characters that works and helps build appropriate relationships based around what is going on. Fantomex and Psylocke have both quit, but of course they can’t actually get away. There’s a new Brotherhood … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #50 by Dan!

Did I actually take last week off? Yes, but it wasn’t much of a break while working the Phoenix Comics Con…but we’ve survived! So it’s on to reviews. Let’s do this! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #10 Writer: Tom Waltz Artist: Dan Duncan Good news everyone! This series, which basically rebooted itself around the same time as the New DC 52, has stayed consistently strong and fantastic for its almost full-year run of comics! I’ve been reading the Mirage Studios version of these comics and it’s essentially rehashing the same steps that these comics hit, but bringing them to a new … Continue reading
