The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #11 By Dan!
This was a shortened week, so forgive me for this rush. Just means I’ll be cramming in sarcasm by the boatload! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Jonah Hex #62 Writers: Justin Gray Jimmy Palmiotti Artist: Eduardo Risso This issue was so very pretty. Risso has his distinct style that just worked perfectly for this issue. It’s amazing to me that it’s taken 62 issues for him to get involved in the Hex mythos. Hell, it’s amazing that this title has lasted 62 issues. But it’s been all about the writing team. Gray and Palmiotti have … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #183
Strange Tales II #2 (of 3) — Writers/Artists: Various … And by “various” I mean a six-page Gilbert Hernandez Iron Man and Toro vs. the Leader story, followed by a six-page Jaime Hernandez everybody-at-the-beach story (look at that cover!), plus offerings from Jeffrey Brown, Farel Dalrymple, Paul Hornschemeier, and Tony Millionaire, among others. Nine stories total (ten, if you count the one-page Watcher intro on the inside front cover), from some of the weirdest and wildest alternative creators out there, with creator biographies so you can follow up on the stuff you like. Not all of it works (Sheldon Vella’s “Look … Continue reading
The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #9 by Dan!
Oh man, have plenty of other things I could be doing, but here I am writing a blog for you. You owe me! Let’s do this! My Top Five (The Five Best comics of the Week) Amazing Spider-Man #647 Writer/Artist: Various This is one of the rare occasions where a $4.99 price tag actually makes sense. This comic is huge, wrapping up all the pieces of Brand New Day, and setting everything up for the next set of arcs. As it has been for months, this Spidey issue is a lot of fun. It gives a lot of different writer … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #179
Love and Rockets : New Stories #3 — Creators: Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez The disadvantage of this being a once-a-year, $15 trade, instead of a series of smaller issues, is that it’s easy to miss — I didn’t see it at all Wednesday, and only knew about it because I read one or two online mentions of it. Fortunately, copies are still available, because no serious comics fan should have do without a Hernandez Bros. fix. Gilbert offers two connected stories: one of those Z-grade exploitation movies, like Speak of the Devil, that he likes to play around with (this one … Continue reading
Phil-In: Stuff I Bought
Now the good stuff, unless you think I’m wrong, in which case you’re probably wrong, so it’s still the good stuff! The Bulletproof Coffin Writer: David Hine Artist: Shaky Kane Why yes, I did buy this based purely on the fact that I remember Shaky Kane from One cover of Morrison’s Doom Patrol. Please don’t judge me. This was absolutely awesome and I can’t even begin to explain why. Kane has a combo style of Moebius and Darrow, and that is the best compliment I can give. We don’t have many copies of this indy book, so get it while … Continue reading
