Fresh Eyes on Old Books #6 by Dan!
This Cardinals game is depressing me, and I’m already exhausted, Let’s look at some old stuff! World’s Finest #99 from 1959 I can honestly say this wasn’t what I was expecting. They manage to cram four different stories into one issue and it kinda seems like the type of story that would be ideal for younger generations. The first story is all about Batman trying to spend a million dollars, and the wacky hijinks as Superman tries to prevent it. It was just as goofy as you think it would be, and ends with Batman mocking Robin while Superman laughs … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #6 by Dan!
Do you ever just get really sick and tired of reviewing comics? Cause I don’t! Let’s do this! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Secret Avengers #5 Writer: Ed Brubaker Artists: Michael Lark and David Aja What do you do when your superstar artist takes an issue off? You bring in two of the sweetest possibly fill-in artists to come and do the job. Both Aja (Iron Fist) and Lark (Daredevil & Gotham Central) have worked with Brubaker before, and they pick up right where they left off in terms of quality.

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #179
Love and Rockets : New Stories #3 — Creators: Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez The disadvantage of this being a once-a-year, $15 trade, instead of a series of smaller issues, is that it’s easy to miss — I didn’t see it at all Wednesday, and only knew about it because I read one or two online mentions of it. Fortunately, copies are still available, because no serious comics fan should have do without a Hernandez Bros. fix. Gilbert offers two connected stories: one of those Z-grade exploitation movies, like Speak of the Devil, that he likes to play around with (this one … Continue reading
It Came From the Back Room #5
Standard recap: I’m slowly going through AABC’s one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (especially with the school year now in full gear), this amounts to a two-year project. I’ve currently finished the indy “M” books, and have started on the Marvel and DC “M” stuff. Here are some of the titles I’ve been encountering: Ms. Tree For everyone who thinks that crime comics started with Brian Bendis or Ed Brubaker, here’s a true hard-boiled gem, an undeservedly-overlooked … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes On Old Books #5 by Dan!
I have nothing clever to say this time around, let’s do this! Adventure Comics #302 from 1962 By a specific request from one commenter (Bill D…, who could that be?) I have decided to take a look at some good old fashioned Legion stories. To start off, this isn’t just the Legion of Super-Heroes. It, of course, involves Superboy well before he was Superman in a story that involved robots! Not much there content wise, but the Sun-Boy story was a really good one. Splitting this book into two stories both helps and hurts it. Everything happens nice and quickly, … Continue reading
