The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #87 by Dan!
 
				Another week… another set of reviews. Let’s do this! Sandman Overture #1 Writer: Neil Gaiman Artist: J.H. Williams III Let’s get this awful fact out of the way: I’m not a huge fan of Sandman. I enjoyed the first couple stories, but got tired of the constantly changing art style and the continuing idea of stories about stories’ that I feel like Gaiman always does. Now that I’ve lost half the audience, I will say that I enjoyed all the characters that Gaiman created in the universe. I thought the ideas were clever and smart, but I didn’t enjoy the … Continue reading

				Sex Criminals #1 — Writer: Matt Fraction; Art: Chip Zdarsky You know how people say, about great sex, “time stopped”? Well, this is a story about a girl who finds out that, when she has an orgasm, time literally stops; it’s a mutant power triggered by the rush of endorphins or serontin or dopamine or whatever. In the wrong hands, this could be a disastrous premise for a series, all snickering adolescent exploitation, but fortunately Fraction and Zdarsky are made of sterner stuff; Fraction’s got a deep humanism that’s at the core of all of his best writing, making us … Continue reading

				There are a lot of good non-corporate, creator-owned books out right now (this has been a great year for them), so let’s start with those this week: Saga #13 — Writer: Brian K. Vaughan; Art: Fiona Staples This is revving up again after a few months’ absence (the creative team takes a break after each six-issue volume), and the cover helps to show why Staples, the artist, has been such a big part of its becoming a hit: the eyes are drawn to the cute baby first, and the lifelike eyes, but then they notice the horns… and the fact … Continue reading

				Hawkeye #9 — Writer: Matt Fraction; Art: David Aja This continues, in its quiet little way, to be one of the best monthly comics out there — while it’s not like much happens this issue (a couple of the tracksuit Russian mobsters get beaten up, but otherwise the only major action occurs on the last page), it’s a perfect little glimpse into the life of its stubbornly adolescent hero and the five women in his life. Aja continues to be just the right artist for it, too: everyone’s immediately distinguishable, even with Fraction’s “no costumes on anyone” rule, and the … Continue reading

				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
