The Goon: Once Upon a Hard Time #1 (of 4) — Writer/Artist: Eric Powell Powell toggles between two modes for this title: edgy, Harvey Kurtzman-like slapstick, and grim, dark-as-night horror. The grim, in ascendance during the last mini-series, reaches full force here, as a drunken, grieving and dangerous Goon kills a couple of people (who deserve it), rips an arm off one of his friends (who doesn’t, although he has a couple of extra to spare), and spirals down into a revengeful, suicidal haze. Depressing as hell, but very very well done, with Powell’s art and script telling an efficient, … Continue reading

The Sandman: Overture #4 (of 6) — Writer: Neil Gaiman; Art: J. H. Williams III; Colors: Dave Stewart Shadow Show: Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury #2 (of 5) — Writers: Neil Gaiman; Audrey Niffenegger; Art: Maria Frohlich; Eddie Campbell Another huge week of decent comics (Merry Christmas to us!), starting with two by Neil Gaiman. Sandman: Overture began slowly, but has built nicely, and in this issue really takes off: the J. H. Williams III art manages to pack a lot of visual information into imaginatively-laid-out pages that are like a pop-up book — you could study them for hours … Continue reading

Madman In Your Face 3D Special! — Creator: Michael Allred; 3D Process: Christian LeBlanc When is a comic worth $10? When it’s this package: 80 pages of stunning 3D work, with glasses included. Allred is a wonderful artist anyway, and it turns out that his generous, open compositions make him a perfect candidate for the 3D separation process. He’s also a brainy creator with a vast knowledge of comics history: witness the first reprinted story here, “Swiped from Dimension X,” wherein every panel is drawn in the style of a different comics creator, from newspaper-strip legends like Elsie Segar and … Continue reading

Wonder Woman #36 — Writer: Meredith Finch; Pencils: David Finch; Inks: Richard Friend; Colors: Sonia Oback Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #4 — (First Story) Creator: Gilbert Hernandez; Colors: John Rauch; (Second Story) Writer: Rob Williams; Art: Tom Lyle; Colors: Wendy Broome; (Third Story) Writer: Nick Kleid; Art: Dean Haspiel; Colors: Allen Passalaqua Two Wonder Woman books — the regular comic features the debut of a new husband-and-wife creative team, the Finches. It’s OK, although if you liked the previous version you might not be too thrilled; unlike Azzarello/Chiang’s quirky, angular work, this is decidedly mainstream, and looks a lot … Continue reading

As with last week, let’s tackle all of the DC issues with lenticular-motion covers first. Remember, if you click on the images here, you’ll be able to see the covers in full motion: which is, believe it or not, a pretty awesome effect, and sometimes a clearer look at the dual scenes than you can get from the covers themselves…. Batman #1 — Story: Ray Fawkes and Scott Snyder; Writer: Ray Fawkes; Art: ACO This is a good example of the way the better issues using the Futures End five-years-later gimmick are turning out: a five-years-older Batman, physically deteriorating because … Continue reading
