Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #186
Batman, Inc. #2 — Writer: Grant Morrison; Pencils: Yanick Paquette; Inks: Michel Lacombe So far, this version of Morrison’s Batman is a lot of fun — no overarching cosmic significance, or Invisibles-like time-spanning conspiracies: just brainy, fun superhero action in Japan, with relaxed, grown-up repartee between a confident Bruce and Catwoman (because, really, giant octupi and murderous reincarnated skeleton guys have no chance against the two of them when they’re at the top of their games), and a nice little bow at the end, to wrap up this first installment in the franchising of the Dark Knight in fine style. … Continue reading
It Came From the Back Room #12
Standard recap: I’m slowly going through AABC’s one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (even with school on holiday break right now), this amounts to a two-year project. This week, I’ve managed to finish “M” and get started on “L.” As it turns out, there are no Marvel “L” regular series (well, Logan’s Run, which lasted seven issues, but that’s under “Marvel Movie and TV Tie-ins”), so it’s all indy and DC titles for the time being. … Continue reading
Fresh Eyes on Old Books #12 by Dan!
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

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #12 by Dan!
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
