Phil's Reviews — Stuff I Read and Put Back #136
Hulk #14 — Writer: Jeph Loeb; Penciler: Ian Churchill; Inks: Mark Farmer Now just about the Red Hulk (with Greg Pak scripting the green one over in the revived Incredible Hulk #601), and it’s becoming increasingly obvious who he must be — a certain pencil-mustached minor player, although, with Loeb, it’s not like logic or linear sense ever figures into the plots, so it could just as easily end up as Betty Ross, or a reanimated Jim Wilson or some damn thing…). Loud, soulless and grating, with characters running everywhere and no one to root for; everyone’s either mean, stupid, … Continue reading

Phil's Reviews — Stuff I Read and Put Back #135
Days Missing #1 (of 5) — Writer: Phil Hester; Art: Frazer Irving This is an sf series about a guy who’s been around since the dinosaurs, who shows up at moments of disaster, extinction-level events, and tries to prevent them: sometimes directly, and sometimes in a kind of butterfly’s-wings-cause-a-hurricane chain of events. When he’s successful, the crisis rewinds by 24 hours, somehow, and then it’s like the apocalypse of that particular day never happened (hence the series title). It’s all a little too clever by half (it sounds a lot like it started life as a TV pilot), and there … Continue reading

My pretty little Marsha has been pinch hitting for me lately, so here I go to get back into the swing of things! Eddie and I “broke down” the two back issue tables today to make room for…sigh…yet another back issue collection just acquired. This collection is 12 long white boxes of mostly modern back issues, bagged and boarded, and heavy with Marvel and DC titles. Here’s a quick alphabetical breakdown of some of the key titles: ALPHA FLIGHT #1-130, ARION #1-35, EXCALIBUR #1-125, GENERATION X #1-50, GREEN ARROW #1-79, mostly complete, a slew of KAMANDI #1-59, MASTER OF KUNG-FU … Continue reading
