The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #16 by Dan!

Let’s do this! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) SpongeBob Comics #1 Writer/Artists: Various Yes I am currently watching SpongeBob; why do you ask?  I was a little surprised by a couple of things.  First, I’m surprised this comic exists.  Second, I’m surprised this comic wasn’t made much sooner.  Third, I’m surprised that it actually captures the fun of the ridiculous tv show that accompanies it.  This is more of an anthology book with several stories throughout Bikini Bottom.  At times bizarre, at times hilarious, it’s a pretty good representation of what the show normally offers … Continue reading →

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #15 by Dan!

Posted on January 30, 2011 by admin

And we’re back!  This week will be a special “dead Marvel characters” week at Fresh Eyes, so let’s see what I picked out.  Oh! Spoilers ahead, don’t forget that. Strange Tales #105 from 1962 There’s nothing quite like a book where all the main good guys and bad guys do is narrate at each other.  “I’m doing this!” “Well, I’m doing this which leads to this!”  If people actually talked like this, I think we’d all be in a much better place, free of sarcasm and snark.  The main story is all about the Human Torch in his huge battle … Continue reading →

All right folks!  It was a seriously huge week, so let’s get down to business! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Fantastic Four #587 Writer: Jonathan Hickman, Artist: Steve Epting I am shocked.  I really have not cared about the Hickman FF run at all.  I found it boring, pretentious and convoluted.  Then the last six pages of this issue happened.  I know that you’ve probably all heard about the death, but I don’t feel like spoiling it.  Just know that it was in a super bad-ass take no prisoners, kicking and screaming kinda way, adding … Continue reading →

Fresh Eye on Old Books #14 by Dan!

Posted on January 16, 2011 by admin

Here we are back for another round of me judging books that came out before I was born! Whoo! Superman 200 from 1967 So this was an “imaginary story” meaning it has absolutely no consequence on the main Superman mythos.  To say the least, it was a lot of fun.  The bottle city of Kandor is replace by Superman’s home city, Brainiac is a good guy, and Kal-El’s younger brother Knor-El takes over as the new Superman.  However, things go bad when Knor is exposed to kryptonite, and Kal-El has to save him.  Cue to a crazy-random-happenstance where Green Kryptonite … Continue reading →

I’m going to be completely honest with you people.  I am exhausted.  Add to that the fact that this was an especially light week and you’re gunna get the internet’s quickest, yet still strangely, awesome-est (not a word, I know) reviews! Let’s Do This! My Top Five (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Thor the Mighty Avenger #8 Writer: Roger Langridge Artist: Chris Samnee And with this, the best comic that none of you were actually reading comes to a close.  I don’t even know what to tell you guys.  This was probably one of the best books on … Continue reading →
