Phil-In: Stuff I Bought

Posted on June 5, 2010 by admin

Now the good stuff, unless you think I’m wrong, in which case you’re probably wrong, so it’s still the good stuff! The Bulletproof Coffin Writer: David Hine Artist: Shaky Kane Why yes, I did buy this based purely on the fact that I remember Shaky Kane from One cover of Morrison’s Doom Patrol.  Please don’t judge me.  This was absolutely awesome and I can’t even begin to explain why.  Kane has a combo style of Moebius and Darrow, and that is the best compliment I can give.  We don’t have many copies of this indy book, so get it while … Continue reading →

Phil-In: Stuff I Read and Put Back

Posted on June 5, 2010 by admin

So the summer of the trade off begins!  Phil and I will be switching off on these reviews every week, so that means I need some kind of new title.  If you have any good ideas, send them in, but for now I’m sticking with “Phil-in” even though it’s completely not applicable anymore! Darkstar and the Winter Guard #1 (of 3) Writer: David Gallaher Artist: Steve Ellis The latest in a long line of “wait… Marvel is publishing what?” style comics brings us the Russian team you’ve all been waiting for!  But really, why does this exist?  The Agents of … Continue reading →

Phil-In: Stuff I Bought by Dan Jacka

Posted on May 15, 2010 by admin

Part two people! Keep awake while I inform you of the stuff that’s actually worth getting! Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #1 (of 6) Writer: Grant Morrison Artist; Chris Sprouse This is as bizarre as you think it would be. Carrying out of Final Crisis, this story picks up the pieces of Anthro and Vandal Savage, but added a certain someone in as the bat-God. Sprouse puts this issue at its best by having an uncanny ability to draw cavemen fights. A great start to what could be a fantastic mini-series Birds of Prey #1 Writer: Gail Simone Artist: Ed … Continue reading →

Phil-In: Stuff I Read and Put Back by Dan Jacka

Posted on May 15, 2010 by admin

It’s happening again folks!  With Phil taking a much needed rest to finish off his semester, Dan is back with a Phil-in.  Let’s see what sucks shall we? Titans: Villains for Hire one-shot Writer: Eric Wallace Artists: Fabrizio Fiorentino, Mike Mayhew, Sergio Arino, Walden Wong Oh.  Oh God.  Oh God this is awful.  This one-shot is meant to set up the Titans for their next big thing, whatever that is.  Slade organizes a team of mediocre and unrecognizable characters to randomly murder the All-New Atom.  It switches between torture and back story, but none of it makes any sense.  Worst … Continue reading →

Phil-In: Stuff I Bought:

Posted on March 20, 2010 by admin

This is it. The moment you’ve waited for. The last set of reviews until Phil comes back! Spider-Woman #7 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Alex Maleev So everything finally comes to a head, it’s a very good ending to the first arc, and it’s cancelled. Gee Thanks Marvel! This was the best issue of what had been a lackluster series, but it’s surprising to see the axe this quickly. They blame it on motion comics, but shouldn’t they have known that was a problem a couple issues in? Lame. Brave and the Bold #32 Writer: J. Michael Straczynski Artist: Jesus … Continue reading →
