Stuff That Wasn’t Very Awesome #1 by Dan!

Posted on June 18, 2010 by admin

New site, new reviews, new comics, my new blog title and me! What more do you need?  Let’s see how fast I can screw up this new format! Dark Wolverine #87 Writers: Daniel Way, Marjorie Liu Artist: Mierco Pierfederici That’s right, I’m using a picture for this one.  I honestly think this comic was the worst of the week, for a multitude of reasons.  Daken is just floating around flirting his way to the underground in France.  He’s stopping kidnappers (not as cool as Taken) and attempting to seduce them before murder.  Up next is a Franken-Castle crossover that hopes to get better, … Continue reading →

Morrison throws out his Bat-ideas like sparks, and it all hangs together and does everything an anniversary issue should; even that Neal Adams Batman preview that’s been in all the other DC books this month makes a pitch-perfect little coda. Buzzard #1 (of 3) … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Read and Put Back #172

Posted on June 12, 2010 by Phil

Avengers Academy #1 — Writer: Christos Gage;  Art: Mike McKone Young Allies #1 — Writer: Sean McKeever;  Pencils: David Baldeon;  Inks: N. Bowling Marvel’s launching two new kid-group books this week, probably not the smartest marketing move — especially since Academy, with its Avengers-franchise tie-in, threatens to suck away any potential sales from the less-advertised and unaffiliated Young Allies. Too bad, since they’re both decent-enough efforts, with both Gage and McKeever good at assembling their casts, giving them distinct personalities, and throwing in enough plot twists and conflict to get readers to come back for more (artwise, McKone’s a little … Continue reading →
