Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #287

Posted on October 18, 2014 by Phil

Miraculously, we have a week without dozens of new titles, or sparkly 3D covers, or other major debuts or milestones (yeah, Wolverine “dies,” but c’mon…). That’s good, because it gives us a chance to spotlight some of the better ongoing titles, the ones that sometimes get lost in the pr hype of the new stuff: Trees #6 — Writer: Warren Ellis;  Art: Jason Howard Supreme: Blue Rose #4 — Writer: Warren Ellis;  Art: Tula Lotay Case in point: Ellis is doing some of the best work of his career with these two books. Trees is creator-owned, and continues its hard-sf … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews : Stuff I Bought #284

Posted on September 27, 2014 by Phil

Last week for the DC special covers, so let’s check them out (now that we’ve figured out how to animate them automatically), and then take a quick look at some of the best of this week’s other offerings: Harley Quinn #1 — Writers: Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor;  Art: Chad Hardin This Futures End one-shot comes the closest of all of them to just being a regular issue of the comic: it’s by the same creative team, and its tongue-in-cheek style means it doesn’t care about continuity anyway (a good thing, since the Futures End Suicide Squad #1 a few … Continue reading →

She-Hulk #5 — Writer: Charles Soule;  Art: Ron Wimberly Captain Marvel #4 — Writer: Kelly Sue Deconnick;  Art: David Lopez Lumberjanes #3 — Writers: Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis;  Art: Brook Allen Bee and Puppycat #2 — Writers: Natasha Allegri and Garrett Jackson;  Art: Natasha Allegri Four comics this week starring women — two superhero and two cartoony/kid-oriented. Superhero first: both of the offerings here stand out because neither emphasizes the adolescent-male-fantasy demographic of, say,  DC’s “Bombshell” covers; these are fully-realized characters, not shallow shells.

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #263

Posted on April 12, 2014 by Phil

So far, this has been the year of the first issue, with lots of reboots, brand-new series and plain-old-relaunches almost every week. This time, we’ve got nine first issues to look at (and there were actually a few more than that I didn’t get to), so let’s start with the obvious best-seller: Batman Eternal #1 (of 52) — Story: Scott Snyder;  Script: James Tynion IV;  Consulting Writers: Ray Fawkes, John Layman and Tim Seeley;  Art: Jason Fabok DC isn’t stupid: if you want to sell more comics, take your top-selling book and create a one-year weekly comic about it, making … Continue reading →
