Phil’s Reviews : Stuff I Bought #284
Last week for the DC special covers, so let’s check them out (now that we’ve figured out how to animate them automatically), and then take a quick look at some of the best of this week’s other offerings: Harley Quinn #1 — Writers: Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor; Art: Chad Hardin This Futures End one-shot comes the closest of all of them to just being a regular issue of the comic: it’s by the same creative team, and its tongue-in-cheek style means it doesn’t care about continuity anyway (a good thing, since the Futures End Suicide Squad #1 a few … Continue reading

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.
