Fresh Eyes on Old Books #13 by Dan!
It’s a new year! Do you know what that means? All these comics are older, and you are too! Let’s do this. Tales to Astonish #60 from 1964 So, I really don’t like the Hulk that much. I find him a big, boring, punching machine, and it just doesn’t usually work for me. This issue was no real exception. Ditko art was very pretty to look at, and what really surprised me was just how much dialogue this Hulk story had. You’d think it would be more of a grunt-and-punch type of story, but instead it was plot heavy, which … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #13 By Dan!
The last reviews of the New Year! Don’t forget to come to the sale! Heck, why are you even reading this, go to the sale now! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Flash #8 Writer: Geoff Johns Artist: Scott Kolins Kolins is completely in his element whenever he does a Rogue profile, as can be seen in this issue. Dealing with how the Reverse Flash came to be, Kolins is able to make every word that Johns puts on the page really come to life. The story itself is bizarre, and sounds like an idea that … Continue reading

I’m taking a break from watching whatever the Cardinals are trying to do. It sure isn’t playing football, but that’s the kind commentary I should save for a different blog. Now, Comics! Defenders #6 from 1973 The Defenders are a team that has always surprised me. They look like a poor-man’s Avengers team, consisting of throwaways that aren’t good enough for the main team. But this title lasted over 150 issues, so do I really have any room to judge them? It is a completely capable creative team in Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema. It’s the kind of group that … Continue reading

All right folks, it’s a Saturday morning, so you know what that means! Review time! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Black Panther: The Man Without Fear #513 Writer: David Liss Artist: Francesco Francavilla This book was surprisingly awesome. As was the case with Spider-man during “One More Day”, maybe Shadowland will lead to something much more fun. Black Panther shows up fresh of his last failed series (has that been six?) to be a street level fighter on a quest for personal redemption. He’s abandoned his family and kingdom to try to reconnect with the … Continue reading

It’s a Sunday afternoon, so we all know what that means! Old-timey comics! Conan The Barbarian #8 from 1971 Oh the Bronze Age… A little less lighthearted than the Silver Age, and nowhere near as gritty as the present. So we get titles like Conan. You might remember the Schwarzenneger movie of the same name, but surprise(!)… there was a comic first. This issue of Conan is exactly what you’d expect it to be, a quest for treasure, an enemy that becomes a friend, and Conan having to run away from someone trying to capture him. Once you add in … Continue reading
