The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #58 by Dan

Posted on September 22, 2012 by admin

All right folks, it’s been a long week, but reviews are here for your viewing pleasure! Let’s do this! Daredevil #18 Writer: Mark Waid Artist: Chris Samnee Month in and month out, Daredevil continues to be one of the best reads on the stands. I was worried when Marcos Martin left the book, but how can you not love Chris Samnee? Waid has transitioned this book from a basic superhero story to some kind of mental mystery. After Daredevil took a ton of abuse in the 90s and 2000s, Waid has pretty much turned his story into a psychological analysis … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #229

Posted on August 19, 2012 by Phil

Daredevil #17 — Writer: Mark Waid;  Art: Michael Allred Guest artist Allred puts this book at the top this week (although it doesn’t need a lot of help — the letters page mentions the three Eisner awards it won this year, for best writer, best continuing series and best single issue (#7), and also lists the great artists it’s had  — the Riveras, Marcos Martin and Chris Samnee — so it’s been doing just fine, thanks). The story’s little more than treading water from last issue’s Matt/Foggy split — DD muses about an earlier case he and Nelson argued over … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews:Stuff I Bought #228

Posted on August 5, 2012 by Phil

Hawkeye #1 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: David Aja Invincible Iron Man #522 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: Salvador Larroca Defenders #9 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Artists: Jamie McKelvie with Mike Norton Three by one of Marvel’s top go-to writers.  If Hawkeye’s creative unit feels familiar, that’s because Fraction and Aja were teamed (along with co-writer Ed Brubaker) on the cult favorite Iron Fist a few years ago, and since then they’ve only gotten better. This reminds me a lot of the sublime Daredevil, with its very clean, clear art, its masterful use of small panels to make the narrative flow smoothly, its firm … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #54 by Dan!

Posted on July 21, 2012 by admin

All right folks, we all survived Free Comic Book Day, the Phoenix con, the San Diego Con and the Fourth of July, so we’re back in the business of buying comics. Are you out of money? Too bad! It was a huge week with plenty of great stuff, so let’s dive right in and do this! (Sorry in advance, but the big books, to me, this week were all Marvels. DC just got boring this week, so deal with it.) The Infernal Man-Thing #2 Writer: Steve Gerber Artist: Kevin Nowlan I don’t know the back story on this, just that … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #225

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Phil

Casanova: Avaritia #4 (of 4) — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: Gabriel Ba Invincible Iron Man #519 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: Salvador Larroca Fraction’s career arc with critics sometimes reminds me of Bendis’s — people who liked him when he was new and different and an indie star now have a vague resentment for his mainstream success, and are tired of his various literary tics and fallbacks, leading to a lot of bitching about how he’s no good any more. Casanova is the antidote to that, his creator-owned book that (like Powers for Bendis) he’s kept up as a labor … Continue reading →
