The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #59 by Dan!

Ooooh boy I’m back! After traditional, respectful and insightful reviews from good ol’ Phil the last two weeks, it’s back to fart jokes, fat jokes and everything in between. Let’s do this! Uncanny Avengers #1 Writer: Rick Remender Artist: John Cassaday Well, this was a crazy thing, wasn’t it? After the ‘meh’ wrap up of AvX, something big needed to show up and make things all right. This book exceeded expectations, which is what you’re looking for from a flagship title. Cassaday’s art is a guaranteed victory, but it’s the plot that really drives this issue from good to great. … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #58 by Dan

All right folks, it’s been a long week, but reviews are here for your viewing pleasure! Let’s do this! Daredevil #18 Writer: Mark Waid Artist: Chris Samnee Month in and month out, Daredevil continues to be one of the best reads on the stands. I was worried when Marcos Martin left the book, but how can you not love Chris Samnee? Waid has transitioned this book from a basic superhero story to some kind of mental mystery. After Daredevil took a ton of abuse in the 90s and 2000s, Waid has pretty much turned his story into a psychological analysis … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #57 by Dan!

All right folks! Football season’s starting, but I won’t be writing these on Sunday’s, so you won’t get to hear about the stupid amounts of money and pride I lose! Let’s do this! The Boys #70 Writer: Garth Ennis Artist: Russ Braun I have to say, I do wonder what this book would have looked like if Robertson hadn’t jumped ship about 20 issues ago. I’ve moved on, but it’s interesting to see just how much Braun has done. Phil and I seem to debate each month about the ending of this book, and that’s how you know it’s good. … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #56 by Dan!

All right folks, here’s your daily dose of the weekly haul. Let’s do this! Batman Incorporated #3 Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Chris Burnham Have you ever wondered what a Grant Morrison noir-type book would look like? Well look no further than the delayed issue of Batman Inc. that hit the stands this week! Morrison is always hit-or-miss, but this final run to wrap up his Batman story has been nothing short of spectacular. It helps to have an artist like Burnham by his side to keep things recognizable and understandable. This story of Matches Malone and further infiltration into the … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #55 by Dan!

Holy guacamole… I’m back! Weird scheduling gave Phil the best shipping week in a while last week, and what do I get? Well, let’s just find out! Bulletproof Coffin: Disinterred #6 Writer: David Hine Artist: Shaky Kane Well, this was a thing. I decided to look up the word disinterred, and got the phrase “to bring from obscurity into view” and ya know what? I’ll accept that. This book has been a plethora of strange stories that don’t even remotely tie together. Individual issues that pretend to be a cohesive mini-series based almost entirely in the world of the strange. … Continue reading
