The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #77 by Dan!

Posted on June 30, 2013 by admin

All right folks, I’ve been complaining lately about the weeks that I’ve been doing reviews, but this is NOT one of those weeks. This week was a monster with lots to talk about. Let’s do this! Batman/Superman #1 Writer: Greg Pak Artists: Jae Lee & Ben Oliver I never have hope for weird team-ups like this, but I gave it a shot cause Pak often delivers. And boy does this comic deliver! While Lee’s style has changed a lot over the years, it fits almost perfectly with what’s going on here. The overall story is that some thing is possessing … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #249

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Phil

Avengers #11 — Writer: Jonathan Hickman;  Art: Mike Deodato Secret Avengers #4 — Writer: Nick Spencer;  Art: Luke Ross Uncanny Avengers #8 — Writer: Rick Remender;  Art: Daniel Acuna Avengers Assemble #15 AU — Writer: Al Ewing;  Pencils: Butch Guice;  Inks: Tom Palmer with Rick Magyar Lots of Avengers comics this week (plus Avengers Arena, although only the title of that mini-series really connects it to the franchise), and they’re a mixed bag. Hickman’s Avengers is the best; wisely, this is a special-ops, done-in-one story, so it doesn’t add to the title’s increasingly-complex backstory: it’s got Shang-Chi, Spider-Woman, Black Widow, … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #73

Posted on May 5, 2013 by admin

All right folks, we all survived Free Comic Book Day! That’s why this is a little bit late, but the quality will be as great as ever! I slept for 10 hours, so… Let’s do this! Hawkeye #10 Writer: Matt Fraction Artist: Francesco Francavilla: Guys, let’s be totally honest here. Did anyone think that I wouldn’t pick this as my book of the week? I am obsessed with Francavilla, and putting him on what is easily the best Marvel book coming out right now makes this an almost perfect issue of Hawkeye. After an upsetting secondary character death, Fraction rewinds … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #247

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Phil

Hawkeye #9 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: David Aja This continues, in its quiet little way, to be one of the best monthly comics out there — while it’s not like much happens this issue (a couple of the tracksuit Russian mobsters get beaten up, but otherwise the only major action occurs on the last page), it’s a perfect little glimpse into the life of its stubbornly adolescent hero and the five women in his life. Aja continues to be just the right artist for it, too: everyone’s immediately distinguishable, even with Fraction’s “no costumes on anyone” rule, and the … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #71 by Dan!

Posted on April 6, 2013 by admin

And we’re back! It was a light week here for comics, but some of these titles are definitely worth talking about. Let’s do this! Detective Comics Writers: John Layman & James Tynion IV Artists: Jay Fabok, Andy Clarke, Henrik Jonsson, Mikel Janin and Jason Masters All right, so while not actually being the 900th issue of Detective Comics (but we all totally know it is) this issue talks about “the 900”, a block in Gotham City that just so happens to get infected by Man-Bat serum and everything goes crazy in Gotham. It’s a surprisingly good issue, and that’s even … Continue reading →
