Fresh Eyes on Old Books #26
All right folks, brought to you live (with slight tape delay) from Brookbank Canyon Ranch in northeast Arizona, I give you my reviews! I’m taking a step away from the ranch life to give you folks exactly what you want. Let’s do this! Ghost Rider #5 from 1974 There’s nothing quite like reading the phrase “swears to you on the name of the almighty Satan” when you’re surrounded by strict conservative religious family members. But that’s what you get when you’re dealing with Ghost Rider. Johnny Storm has to save his love interest (with old school Marvel, names aren’t that … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #26
All right folks, this one’s a rush, so I apologize in advance. Gotta get this going before I bail for the north. Have a happy 4th of July and don’t forget to check out our BIG SALE on Monday! (shameless plug) The Goon #34 Writer/Artist: Eric Powell Oh hell yes! The Goon! Literally the best thing you’ve probably never read is back and not missing a beat.

Evan Dorkin said last week that Colan’s art was like “dreams on paper,” and this is a good example: the hand-drawn panel borders radiating from the center; the use of … is it whiteout?… to indicate fog; the bottom image of Dracula on the ground in the shadows, weak but still … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #199
Ultimate Spider-Man #160 — Writer: Brian Michael Bendis; Pencils: Mark Bagley; Inkers: Andy Lanning with Andrew Hennessy This comes in a bag, but considering the title it’s probably not a spoiler to say that, yes, there’s a death scene with the main character (of course, there was one in Superman #75, too, and we all know how that turned out, so…). Bendis and Bagley, who’ve worked on the title for eleven years (straight, for Bendis) do a good job with it; it’s an affecting end to the story, and one true to the themes that the book has covered since … Continue reading
