This is the end folks! We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve mocked my grammar, we’ve mocked my opinions, but all in all it’s been a good time. Let’s wrap this up faster than a mediocre NBA draft! Avengers/Invaders #12 of 12 Writer: Jim Krueger Artist: Steve Sadowski & Jack Herbert Oh man, what a crock of B.S. this turned out to be. 12 issues to lead into the next Alex Ross “not actually written” series (Human Torch, if you’re wondering), and this is just bad. Not good for any real reason and a waste of one year worth of money and … Continue reading →

So we’re going to get Dan “off his duff”, which he’s rarely on, to sort through another 25 boxes of comics we just picked up in the last two weeks. I always have Dan do the sorting because he’s fast and he really knows his comics! This newest batch of comics has a little Silver, a few more Bronze, and lots of Modern from 1980 to present. As per norm, you’ll see a lot of the last three decades of books priced as “sets” or “packets”, and the more collectible books will be priced individually. In case you haven’t checked … Continue reading →

All right folks! Deadlines and stuff have these posted way early! In other words, you’re welcome! Herogasm #2 (of 6) Writer: Garth Ennis Artist: John McCrea Well… that was a lot more nudity than last issue. The superhero perversion continues, and the hilarity ensues. Whether it’s farting brown gas, taking interestingly formed drugs, or just copping a feel, this mini-series has taken no prisoners. Hilarious dirty stuff, but what do you expect from the guys who brought you Hitman? Incognito #4 (of 6) Writer: Ed Brubaker Artist: Sean Philips Delays hurt this, but it’s still easily better than 75% of … Continue reading →

More and more deadlines, so let’s chug a Pepsi and do this dance! Action Comics Annual #12 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Pere Perez Interesting layouts by Perez are the only thing that make this Annual interesting at all.  The confusing Nightwing/Flamebird-through-history-thing was weird, and a little too full of itself, in my opinion.  I quit reading this once, and then went back and finished it.  Bad choice, cause it really was not very good. Air # 10 Writer: G. Willow Wilson Artist: M.K. Perker Everytime I read this I find myself thinking “huh?”  The plot is fairly thin, but becomes … Continue reading →

Hello Everyone! So something out of the ordinary for new Wednesday comics this week! Marvel shipped us the new CAPTAIN AMERICA #600 TWO DAYS early this week, breaking the new Wednesday “street date” that they make every retailer normally adhere too. It’s all OK, because there’s been a lot of press covering the new “Reborn” storyline that will bring back, well, you know who, as the one and only CAP! It’s a beautiful looking book, so c’mon in and grab your copy before we sell out. (Fear not. There will be a 2nd print!) Speaking of out of the ordinary, … Continue reading →
