Ask the Professor #26 — Catching Up….
The Professor’s been focused on school work (instead of the important stuff, like comics trivia questions), and the submissions have piled up alarmingly, so let start with the earliest, and do a few a day until they’re current. The first question is from, embarrassingly, Jan. 21: In Green Lantern when Kyle Rayner was still in the main title, before they brough back Hal Jordan, he was in space and defeating the Black Circle Syndicate. After he defeated Amon Sur the Femail Guardian appears behind him and stabs Kyle Rayner. She leaves his to die but he telports himself out of … Continue reading

GETTING OFF My Duff #6
OK, in our quest to rid ourselves of spam on the AABC site, we accidently deleted GOMD #5. (That’s “Getting Off My Duff #5) No biggie; I’m just glad the Professor’s comic book reviews survived the purge. The spam is interesting though. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to invest into a bank in Nigeria, or supply some extra length and girth to my, oh, forget it. Collections are pouring in faster than I can keep up with. A collection of 2,500 mostly Marvel and DC books is rapidly becoming 100 to 150 lot sets at bargain prices … Continue reading

Phil's Reviews — Stuff I Bought #112
Usagi Yojimbo #118 — Writer/Artist: Stan Sakai I usually just stick this on the bottom, in the “stuff I don’t have much to say about” list, because it’s so dependably good, but let’s give Sakai a little love this week: this is a good jump-in issue, even though it’s the middle of a three-part story. Watch how smoothly the new reader is given enough information to know what’s happening, how artfully the panels are composed, how inevitably the action moves forward, and how perfectly Sakai renders the characters and the backgrounds, with exactly the right number of strokes of the … Continue reading

The Incredible Hercules #126 — Story: Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak; Pencils: Rodney Buchemi; Inks: Greg Adams; (Second story): Story: Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente; Art: Takeshi Miyazawa A double-size issue for $3.99 (get ’em before Marvel starts charging that much for a regular-sized issue in a month or two), with the first story an origin of sorts (taking place in 1291 B.C.) and the bonus story a bittersweet tale involving Amadeus Cho, Bruce Banner, and that coyote pup. Buchemi shows some talent drawing Greeks, especially the women (some of his panels are reminiscent of Adam Hughes; he … Continue reading

The Zombies That Ate The World #1 ( of 8 ) — Writer: Jerry Frissen; Art: Guy Davis This is another one of those aborted Humanoids projects from a couple of years ago, first picked up by DC, abandoned, and now being published by DDP. The story’s pedestrian, although leavened by some satire: the returning dead are exploited as just another commodity, since they’re fairly benign and suggestible — although by the end of this first issue, that begins to change (not much of a spoiler, given the book’s title). The big attraction here is the Davis art: it’s lighter … Continue reading
