Fresh Eyes on Old Books #25

All right folks, I just happened to grab two comics I had already read for this week’s reviews.  So I’m pulling copies from my personal collection that are still available in our online store.  I just wanted to let you know I’m “dubm.”  If you want to read the comics I accidentally grabbed, read the Tales to Astonish and Wonder Woman comics HERE.  I’m “smart.”  Let’s do this! Daredevil #168 from 1981 It still counts as an old book if it’s only 7 years older than me right? This is the infamous debut of Elektra (spelled wrong on the cover … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #24

All right folks, the X-men movie is out, and I haven’t seen it yet.  Do not spoil it for me… I warnin’ ya’!  Let’s do this! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Secret Seven #1 Writer: Peter Milligan Artist: George Pérez This series is the exact kind of story that these mini series should be.  You draw in the classic people with Pérez art, you draw in the indie crowd with Hellblazer‘s Milligan and what you get is pure F-ing insanity.  There’s so much going on here, and it’s almost completely independent to the Flashpoint series … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #23

All right folks, amidst packing for a California trip, watching way too much of The Shield, and playing too many video games, I’ve taken time out of my busy schedule to get these reviews to you.  You’re welcome! Let’s do this! My Top 5 (5 Best Comics of the Week) Tiny Titans #40 Writer/Artist: Art Baltazar and Franco So here’s the deal.  The current Teen Titans series isn’t very good, and it’s almost reached 100 issues.  This series has only 40% of that right now and probably 40 times as much quality.  This is the kind of comic that you … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #196

Hellboy: Being Human #1 (of 1) — Writer: Mike Mignola;  Art: Richard Corben A Hellboy story by the Mignola/Corben team is always cause for celebration, and this one-shot is no exception: it doesn’t have the over-the-top backwoods craziness of their The Crooked Man, from a few years ago, but there’s enough Southern gothic atmosphere, with crumbling mansions and various decayed corpses (as an old woman, scorned and unjustly institutionalized, enacts occult revenge against long-dead adversaries) to remind everyone of why Corben’s always had such a fine reputation for horror work — and to show that, even in his seventies, he … Continue reading
