Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #319
This week offers the last of the DC Convergence titles — which would mean less work for me next week, except that now all the Secret Wars tie-ins are in full bloom. Otherwise, there’s new work by Neil Gaiman, Walt Simonson and Alan Moore, plus a few other books. Let’s see: Convergence #8 — Writers: Jeff King and Scott Lobdell; Pencils: Stephen Segovia, Carlo Pagulayan, Eduardo Pansica and Ethan Van Sciver; Inks: Five different guys; Colors: Peter Steigerwald Convergence: Action Comics #2 (of 2) — Writer: Justin Gray; Pencils: Claude St-Aubin; Inks: Sean Parsons; Colors: Lovern Kindzierski and Hi-Fi Convergence: Detective … Continue reading

Another week of Convergence, plus the next Secret Wars (just the second issue of the main title; Marvel’s tie-ins to it aren’t starting until next week), the revelation of who Lady Thor is, and a bunch of other Marvel and indy books that stood out. As with last week, all the Convergence titles also feature a different preview of one of DC’s June titles, so read through the reviews to see which new-book appetizer appears where: Convergence #6 (of 8) — Writers: Jeff King and Scott Lobdell; Pencils: Ed Benes and Eduardo Pansica; Inks: Ed Benes, Trevor Scott, Scott Hanna … Continue reading

We start to get the second issues of all the Convergence mini-series this week, and I’m even more impressed with Chip Kidd’s alternate-cover designs (with the #2’s the “other halves” of the #1’s), and the way the original artists of the cover images are given prominent credit.

Meanwhile, the other comics companies haven’t been idle: Marvel’s got Secret Wars #1 and a new Squirrel Girl, while new issues of … Continue reading

Convergence #4 (of 8) — Writer: Jeff King; Pencils: Stephen Segovia; Inks: Seven different guys; Colors: John Starr with Peter Steigerwald The main title gets a lot more linear this issue, with an actual plot that begins to tie everything together: the Earth-2 heroes, fleeing Telos, have ended up in The Warlord’s dimension of Skartaris, where the evil wizard Deimos is trying … Continue reading
