Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #334
Eleven Secret Wars tie-ins this week, but the good news is that seven of them are conclusions; there’s a growing light at the end of Jonathan Hickman’s three-year-old tunnel. Let’s look at all of them one at a time: Secret Wars: A-Force #4 (of 5) — Writers: Marguerite Bennett and G. Willow Wilson; Pencils: Jorge Molina; Inks: Craig Yeung and Walden Wong; Colors: Laura Martin This tryout/preview for one of Marvel’s new relaunch titles has been decent enough, with sharp character interaction among a diverse, interesting cast. Its momentum gets spoiled here through no fault of its own: the climactic … Continue reading

Another big week, with twelve Secret Wars tie-ins (including four debuts), a bunch of second issues involving last month’s DC relaunches, and other interesting stuff, including the final Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye, a new Kieron Gillen sf book, and new issues of Lumberjanes, Justice League, Trees, Groo and Usagi Yojimbo: all perfect for summertime reading. Adjust the hammock, put another ice cube in the lemonade, and let’s get started… Secret Wars: Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders #1 (of 2) — Writer: Al Ewing; Pencils: Alan Davis; Inks: Mark Farmer; Colors: Wil Quintana Secret Wars: Guardians of Knowhere #1 (of … Continue reading

Eight Secret Wars tie-ins, but only three DC first issues, make this a smaller week than the last few, but there are still plenty of comics to talk about. Don’t try to buy them at the All About Books and Comics at 5060 North Central, though, because it no longer exists — instead, come to the brand-new All About, right around the corner at 24 West Camelback, starting July 1st, and marvel at the amazing job everyone’s done to create the best-looking place to buy comics (combined with, obviously, the best selection of old and new issues) in the whole state! Secret … Continue reading

It Came From the Back Room #25
After I wrote this — but before I posted it — we got the news that Gene Colan died on Thursday, at the age of 84. His comics career spanned almost 70 years, and he was certainly well-established at Marvel when the ten-year-old me, 45 years ago, was awestruck at his work on Daredevil and the Iron Man stories in Tales of Suspense. Add in his Dr. Strange work, his Captain America, his work on two of the best comics of the ’70s — Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck — his ’80s work on Batman and indie books, … Continue reading
