Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #259

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Phil

Sex Criminals #1 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: Chip Zdarsky You know how people say, about great sex, “time stopped”? Well, this is a story about a girl who finds out that, when she has an orgasm,  time literally stops; it’s a mutant power triggered by the rush of endorphins or serontin or dopamine or whatever. In the wrong hands, this could be a disastrous premise for a series, all snickering adolescent exploitation, but fortunately Fraction and Zdarsky are made of sterner stuff; Fraction’s got a deep humanism that’s at the core of all of his best writing, making us … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #84 by Dan!

Posted on September 22, 2013 by admin

And we’re back! Just one more week left of 3-D covers, and I’ll be here to cover them all. But first, let’s hit all the important other stuff of the week. Let’s do this! Zero #1 Writer: Ales Kot Artist: Michael Walsh This is such a good comic, even Eddie read it and enjoyed it (cue audience gasp)! A special op agent is out in the field looking to collect some data while two super-soldiers fight to the death around him. This issue acts as the pilot to the series, and it is pretty darn fantastic. The art style is … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #258

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Phil

Yes, yes, we’ll get to all of those fancy DC villain books in a minute (even though, contrary to this column’s title, I didn’t buy all of them — but, hey, without credits on the cover, I figure you need some sort of quick description of each one, to see which will be worth your time) — but first, let’s look at the regular titles that stood out this week: Astro City #4 — Writer: Kurt Busiek;  Art: Brent Eric Anderson This was the best book of the week the last time it came out, too, and it’ll probably be … Continue reading →
