Fresh Eyes on Old Books #28
All right folks, in honor of Cowboys & Aliens (the best movie of the summer that Eddie won’t see (make sure to yell at him about that)), each comic this week ties in to either Cowboys or Aliens. I know, I’m adorable. Let’s do this! Hopalong Cassidy #11 from 1947 Oh Cowboy comics from a time before most of us were born… What would we as a society do without you? The thing about these comics is that they’re almost always some kind of anthology book, where ridiculous things happen to our hero (in this case Mr. Cassidy), but everything … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #28
And just like that we’re back folks. I survived San Diego, and only lost a finger! (joke). Let’s do this. (head’s up, I didn’t review League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That pretentious mess is not for me. ((cue internet explosion))) Secret Wariors 28 Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Alessandro Vitti So Secret Warriors comes to its logical conclusion with more of a whimper than you might expect. However, when you think about it in the long run, it’s not that unexpected. This title has been running along with its usual flair for the dramatic, so a subdued final issue is to be … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #27
All right folks, it’s a Sunday afternoon, you know what that means… I’m hung over! Just kidding (kinda), but what it really means is it’s time for me to judge books that are wayyyyyy older than me. Let’s do this! Jonah Hex #9 from 1978 So this is the kind of comic that has a little asterisk after frijole to tell you it’s Spanish for “bean” but then just expects you to know what palaver means. Oh the 70’s!… In this issue, Hex is dragged to Mexico to help the government get some gold treasure (no, I can’t really explain … Continue reading
The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #27
This was a pretty good week folks, full of hits and misses all over the place. So let us reel some of these out and judge them accordingly! Ultimate Fallout: Spider-Man No More #1 (of 6) Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Mark Bagley Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates Writer: Mark Millar Artist: Leinil Yu/Stephen Segovia The Ultimate Universe has its fair share of problems, but every once in a while Bendis can write a sick comic, and that’s the case here. Everyone has their own character moment of reacting to the new Spider-Man; things get shaken up and “nothing will … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #26
All right folks, brought to you live (with slight tape delay) from Brookbank Canyon Ranch in northeast Arizona, I give you my reviews! I’m taking a step away from the ranch life to give you folks exactly what you want. Let’s do this! Ghost Rider #5 from 1974 There’s nothing quite like reading the phrase “swears to you on the name of the almighty Satan” when you’re surrounded by strict conservative religious family members. But that’s what you get when you’re dealing with Ghost Rider. Johnny Storm has to save his love interest (with old school Marvel, names aren’t that … Continue reading
