Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #289
Marvel 75th Anniversary Celebration #1 — Creators: Various These anniversary packages can be a drag sometimes, with too much self-importance and congratulation weighing things down, but this one gets it right: it starts with a James Robinson/Chris Samnee story about the day the FF went up in that rocket and kickstarted the Marvel Silver Age, focusing not on the event but on what a bunch of other characters were doing at the same time; it’s jammed with little bits of continuity and Easter eggs, and… well, come on, it’s Samnee art, and it’s a great opener.

This week, we’re in the middle of the letter “G,” and that means two Marvel titles — neither one a superhero title, both with rabid fan bases, but otherwise just about as different as they can be: Groo Groo is a humor comic, one with a significant cult following; it’s about a perpetually-addled barbarian, and is drawn … Continue reading
