Naturally, since … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #360

The Infinity Entity #1 (of 4) — Writer: Jim Starlin;  Pencils: Alan Davis;  Inks: Mark Farmer;  Colors: Jordan Boyd Mockingbird #1 — Writer: Chelsea Cain;  Art: Kate Niemozyle;  Colors: Rachelle Rosenberg The Haunted Mansion #1 (of 5) — Writer: Joshua Williamson;  Art: Jorge Coelho;  Colors: Jean-Francois Beaulieu This week’s Marvel debuts — Infinity Entity #1 continues Jim Starlin’s decades-long (as in, since the ’70s) chronicling of the adventures of Adam Warlock, Thanos, and Marvel’s cosmic characters; he’s been doing this lately in original graphic novels, so it’s nice to see this installment as a good-‘ol floppy comic. Davis and Farmer … Continue reading

Black Widow #1 — Writers: Chris Samnee and Mark Waid;  Art: Chris Samnee;  Colors: Matthew Wilson Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha — Writer: Nick Spencer;  Art/Colors: Jesus Saiz Two debuts from Marvel: Black Widow‘s had a lot of anticipation, coming from the Daredevil team of Waid and Samnee, and what this first issue offers is basically the first five minutes of a James Bond or Mission Impossible film: a full-on action sequence/chase showcasing the super-spy derring-do aspects of the character. Since much of it is wordless, it’s over quickly, and readers may feel like “That’s it?”, but if … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #356

Love and Rockets: New Stories #8 — Creators: Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez This yearly dose of new Hernandez Brothers’ work is always cause for celebration — very few creators can say they’ve been chronicling their creations’ lives for thirty years, aging them in real time (you’d have to go to daily newspaper strips like Gasoline Alley or For Better or for Worse to see anything similar, and neither of those is still publishing new material), and both brothers are still capable of tremendous storytelling. Gilbert’s the more operatic, as the many descendants of his Palomar character Luba follow film careers … Continue reading
