The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #21
Let the records show, I finished this early. It’s going to be a very busy weekend, but I can’t fail you humble readers! Let’s do this! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Dark Horse Presents #1 writers/artists: Various So yeah, this was really, really rad. It starts with a pretty good Concrete story, “heads” to a strange Howard Chaykin story, and “leads” to a weird Neal Adams story. And that’s just the first 25 pages. AND THERE ARE 80 TOTAL. The Adams story is, of course, weird cuz’ he’s written it (oy vey.) There were also … Continue reading

So based on the math, when I get to #26, we will have been doing this for a year. How time flies! Avengers #40 from 1967 So this is a pretty straightforward comic. If you ever want to look for quality, just go with the Roy Thomas and Don Heck run of the Avengers. Namor gets all uppity about some big misunderstanding with the Navy, so he starts (of course) attacking the Earth. However, Hercules literally keeps throwing him out of the picture. Then it becomes an entirely separate story about the Cosmic Cube. Namor finds it and proceeds to … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #20!
It’s been twenty of these; have I become any better? Read on to find out! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Axe Cop #2 Writer: Malachai Nicolle Artist: Ethan Nicolle Written by a six-year-old and drawn by his thirty-year-old brother! This comic is just as ridiculously rad as you think it would be. There is literally, vikings fighting baseball players (a much more even fight than you’d think), The people of the Uni-Smart World had their unicorn horns covered so they no longer had “magic unicorn powers.” Originally a webcomic, this has translated almost perfectly to … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #19 by Dan!
It’s now a Sunday! So you know what that means… More old stuff! Let’s do this! Green Lantern #47 from 1966 So this is an absolutely classic Gil Kane comic, and it’s absolutely amazing to look at. The story is completely doofy, but what do you expect form the 60s? Hal Jordan has to fight a red alien creature that is spreading diseases across the universe, including an alien that uses 100% of it’s brain (editors note reminds us that we don’t use all of ours). With all the problems of the “red disease” that this issue has, I start … Continue reading

Oh man, I’m getting way more efficient with this whole thing; look at how early these are done! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Batman Inc #4 Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Chris Burnham You ever get tired of me worshiping this title? Well get over it. I’m not a huge fan of Paquette, the artist for the first three issues, but I love me some Chris Burnham. Take Frank Quitely. Mix him with Geof Darrow, and you get yourself some Burnham. It’s so freakin’ pretty to look at. Because we’re only four issues into Morrison’s “grand … Continue reading
