Fresh Eyes On Old Books #1 by Dan!
So here’s my second entry of the week. In “Fresh Eyes On An Old Book” I’ll take a look at some Silver Age books, let you know what’s going on in ’em, and what I think. Let’s do this! Sgt. Rock’s Prize Battle Tales #1 from 1964 So I’ve never been a huge fan of army books, but I’m willing to take the dive just to fill you guys in on what you need to know. This 80 page giant is a serious rarity being the only Sgt. Rock or army book to have an 80 page giant (all the … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #1 By Dan!
Hey folks! With the new website running smoothly, we’ve decided to change things up just a little bit. Reviews will now only be one post per week, but The Professor and I will both have a different column on Sundays! So get ready for some slight changes. Also, make sure to wear a helmet, in case I blow your mind! My Top Five (The five best comics of the week) Batman 701 Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Tony Daniel Morrison’s Batman run has been one of the crazier things of the past couple years, which is no big surprise. Here he … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #174
Lots and lots of books worth buying this week, kids, so don’t expect more than a sentence or two each on the later ones — and let’s get started: Casanova #1 — Writer: Matt Fraction; Art: Gabriel Ba (plus a back-up story by Fabio Moon) The lead story’s four years old, but it was originally a 16-page, monocolored comic; now it’s been remastered (meaning recolored and relettered), with a backup story by Moon added, making it worthwhile even if you’re one of the few people who have the originals. It’s a superspy romp with tons of narrative tricks (Fraction lists … Continue reading
Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Read and Put Back #174
Shadowland #1 (of 5) — Writer: Andy Diggle; Pencils: Billy Tan; Inks: Batt This is the kickoff to yet another crossover event, one stretching over the next five months, although the only regular titles involved seem to be Daredevil and Thunderbolts (depressingly, there will be 18 “extra” books with “Shadowland” in the title that readers will be expected to buy too). It looks like a “Dark DD” riff, sort of like DC’s Arsenal (but, sadly, without any dead-cat weapons or heroin use), involving DD, who’s now the leader of the Hand (don’t ask) against most of the NYC heroes, like … Continue reading

Stuff That Was Awesome #2
So even with a light week, there’s still plenty of stuff worth reading, and I’m here to tell you what it is! Flash #3 Writer: Geoff Johns Artist: Francis Manapul Oh man. This Flash series has been some of the best stuff that I’ve read lately. Very interesting ideas, new characters, and plenty of potential. I’m not a very big fan of Manapul, but he is really cranking out his best material on this book. Johns writes it as well as he can, and it’s clear he really enjoys it. Even Eddie liked this, so I must be right! Secret … Continue reading
