The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #97 by Dan!
All right folks, we’re back in action. Not a bad week for comics, but only a few that really stood out. Let’s do this! Elektra #1 Writer: W. Haden Blackman Artist: Mike Del Mundo The first few pages of this issue threw me off. It was a fair amount of talking, reminding the reader about just who Elektra was and what had come before. The art style is pretty jarring. But once you actually focus and see that every panel of every page is telling a story, you realize that this book is shockingly well put together. In a similar … Continue reading

Captain Action Cat: The Timestream Catastrophe #1 — Writers: Franco, Chris “Zod” Smits, and Art Baltazar; Art: Art Baltazar Everybody knows Baltazar and Franco, right — Tiny Titans? Superman Family Adventures? Baltazar’s art epitomizes “fun,” and his bold layouts and colors are super-attractive to younger kids; I don’t know anyone under, say, seven years old who can resist them. Add in enough clever references to “real” continuity to keep adults entertained, too, and those DC books were some wonderful parent/child comics-bonding issues. In this new offering, the team takes their own creation, Action Cat, and sets up a crossover with … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #263
So far, this has been the year of the first issue, with lots of reboots, brand-new series and plain-old-relaunches almost every week. This time, we’ve got nine first issues to look at (and there were actually a few more than that I didn’t get to), so let’s start with the obvious best-seller: Batman Eternal #1 (of 52) — Story: Scott Snyder; Script: James Tynion IV; Consulting Writers: Ray Fawkes, John Layman and Tim Seeley; Art: Jason Fabok DC isn’t stupid: if you want to sell more comics, take your top-selling book and create a one-year weekly comic about it, making … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #96 by Dan!
All right folks, while it was a lighter week, there’s still plenty of good stuff to check out this time around. Let’s do this! She-Hulk #3 Writer: Charles Soule Artist: Javier Pulido I hate feeling like I have to take a bet on when Pulido bails on this book, but I know it’s coming soon. But that’s a conversation for later; right now we should just enjoy this book for what it is. Embracing the recent success of Hawkeye and Daredevil, this book helps bring the street level lawyer She-Hulk into a more realistic setting. It helps that Soule writes … Continue reading

Empowered Special #6 — Writer: Adam Warren; Art: Adam Warren and Brandon Graham I’ve made no secret of my fondness for Warren’s starcrossed, plucky heroine and her always-interesting supporting cast; throw in 24 pages of color Brandon Graham art in the middle (he and Warren are a match made in sf heaven; both have a knack for telling stories that blend technology, aliens, strong female characters, brainy plots and clever dialogue) and this moves to the top of the list, even in a week with a number of strong books. Sandman: Overture #2 (of 6) — Writer: Neil Gaiman; Art: J.H. … Continue reading
