Phil-In: Stuff I Read and Put Back:

That’s right folks. The second half of my two part epic reviews starts here! Siege #3 (of 4) Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Oliver Coipel Siege Embedded #3 (of 4) Writer: Brian Reed Artist: Chris Samnee Why do I hate Siege so much? Is it because everything feels a lot more forced than normal because Bendis has no idea how to pace? I think that’s the main reason. Also that Osborn hasn’t really done anything terrible since getting his position, and this character advancement hasn’t worked. The Sentry is still kind of lame, so I hope he dies by the … Continue reading

Phil-In: Stuff I Bought by Dan Jacka

Daytripper #4 Writer/Artist: Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba I like it.  It’s pretentious, repetitive and sometimes predictable, but I do like it.  My specific apologies to the Professor, but I think Moon and Ba are fully aware of what they are doing, and loving every minute of it.  The pages are beautiful to look at even if the plot is a little rocky. Criminal #5 Writer: Ed Brubaker Artist: Sean Phillips There goes another round of the best crime comic currently in existence.  This group as always knows what they are doing and provides it in a quick and easy … Continue reading

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

I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaack!  That’s right folks; The Professor is on his spring break “I swear I’m grading papers” cruise, so you’re stuck with me all over again.  Prepare yourself for less professional and reasonable criticism and a whole lot more fart jokes and petty insults! Let’s do this!Justice League Rise and Fall Special Writer: J.T. Krul  Artist: Mike Mayhew, Diogenes Neves, Fabrizio Fiorentino. Gee thanks DC, for ruining one of the characters that got me to read comics.  Apparently it’s not enough for Green Arrow to just kill Prometheus in a way that doesn’t make any sense, now he’s gotta be … Continue reading

Oh man, this stuff is better than Transformers 2! Read on… Detective Comics #854 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: J.H. Williams III This is absolutely fantastic.  Rucka picks up on some of his previous dealings with Batwoman flawlessly, to the point where it’s not too much for a casual reader to pick up.  He clearly enjoys writing these characters, and it shines through in his work.  But Williams is clearly the star of this book.  His two page spreads are stunning, and his layout work is amazing.  This isn’t a must-read as much as it is a must-stare at.  Amazing, best … Continue reading

This is the end folks! We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve mocked my grammar, we’ve mocked my opinions, but all in all it’s been a good time. Let’s wrap this up faster than a mediocre NBA draft! Avengers/Invaders #12 of 12 Writer: Jim Krueger Artist: Steve Sadowski & Jack Herbert Oh man, what a crock of B.S. this turned out to be. 12 issues to lead into the next Alex Ross “not actually written” series (Human Torch, if you’re wondering), and this is just bad. Not good for any real reason and a waste of one year worth of money and … Continue reading
