All right folks, we’re here, let’s do this! Saga #11 Writer: Brian K Vaughan Artist: Fiona Staples So Saga is pretty awesome, but you knew that already, right? After last issue’s… maybe, upsetting character kill, this issue kicks you in the gut just as hard. Vaughan, as always, makes the reader care about his characters, to the point where the sci-fi weirdness is almost irrelevant. This is the kind of comic that’s accessible to anyone, it’s just really good stuff. Staples art style is something you have to get used to, but once you do, every little piece of effort … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #243

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Phil

Green Lantern #17 — Writer: Geoff Johns;  Art: Dan Jurgens, Phil Jimenez and Doug Mahnke Green Lantern Corps #17 — Writer: Peter Tomasi; Pencils: Fernando Pasarin;  Inks: Scott Hanna Green Lantern: New Guardians #17 — Writer: Tony Bedard;  Art: Aaron Kuder These are the first three parts of Johns’s final GL serial; he; and all the other creative teams, are leaving after that, so one expects that a number of threads involving the now-evil Guardians, the various colored rings, Black Hand and all manner of other subplots will get wrapped up.  The “First Lantern,” the bad guy driving the plot, … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #241

Avengers #3 — Writer: Jonathan Hickman;  Art: Jerome Opena Uncanny Avengers #3 — Writer: Rick Remender;  Art: John Cassaday Young Avengers #1 — Writer: Kieron Gillen;  Art: Jamie McKelvie with Mike Norton Three Avengers-related books this week, so let’s start with those: Avengers is the conclusion of the book’s first arc; you have to admire Hickman for only making it three issues, and not stretching it out to the more-usual trade-sized six, although his writing is dense enough to make the story seem longer.  Maybe a little too dense (I’m never quite sure about Hickman’s plots, and this one resolves … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #239

Posted on December 29, 2012 by Phil

As a special end-of-year feature, we’re reviewing every single comic published this week! (Of course, since it’s a holiday week, there were only eight books, but still….): Amazing Spider-Man #700 — Writer: Dan Slott;  Pencils: Humberto Ramos;  Inks: Victor Olazaba There’s also a 16-page “Spider Dreams” story by J. M. DeMatteis, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Sal Buscema (an art team that turns out better than you might think), and an 8-page “Date Night” story with Spider-Man and the Black Cat, written by Jen Van Meter and with very cute, painted art by Stephanie Buscema, plus a 7-page letter column (with answers … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #62 By Dan!

It’s Thanksgiving week; the holidays are in motion; you’re out with your loved ones, and I’m writing comic reviews. All is right in the world. Let’s do this! Captain America #1 Writer: Rick Remender Artist: John Romita This is a comic book. The more I think about it, that’s almost all I have to say about it. It’s about as generic as a Captain America book could possibly be. Remender may be building to something, but it feels like a slower burn than normal. We can’t forget that Romita Jr. doesn’t try as hard if he’s not doing creator-owned work. … Continue reading →
