Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #319

This week offers the last of the DC Convergence titles — which would mean less work for me next week, except that now all the Secret Wars tie-ins are in full bloom. Otherwise, there’s new work by Neil Gaiman, Walt Simonson and Alan Moore, plus a few other books.

The Sandman: Overture #4 (of 6) — Writer: Neil Gaiman;  Art: J. H. Williams III;  Colors: Dave Stewart Shadow Show: Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury #2 (of 5) — Writers: Neil Gaiman; Audrey Niffenegger;  Art: Maria Frohlich; Eddie Campbell Another huge week of decent comics (Merry Christmas to us!), starting with two by Neil Gaiman. Sandman: Overture began slowly, but has built nicely, and in this issue really takes off: the J. H. Williams III art manages to pack a lot of visual information into imaginatively-laid-out pages that are like a pop-up book — you could study them for hours … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #276

Fatale #24 (of 24) — Writer: Ed Brubaker;  Art: Sean Phillips Hawkeye #19 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art: David Aja Sandman: Overture #3 (of 6) — Writer: Neil Gaiman;  Art: J. H. Williams III Outcast #2 — Writer: Robert Kirkman;  Art: Paul Azaceta These first four books are linked simply because they’re all good stories from top creative teams, and representative of the best that weekly serial comics have to offer. Fatale is the last issue, and a definite, and satisfying, conclusion to the story; Brubaker and Phillips have been offering effective crime/noir books for a decade now, since Sleeper, … Continue reading
