Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #323

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!

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #320

Hoo boy — with Convergence done. you’d think there’d be a chance to relax in the early-summer heat (and, weirdly, rain), but instead we get nine Secret Wars books from Marvel, plus five DC first issues (and major turning-point episodes of Action and Justice League), along with the usual batch of cool indy stuff too. Let’s run them down: Secret Wars #3 (of 8) — Writer: Jonathan Hickman;  Art: Esad Ribic;  Colors: Ive Svorcina Secret Wars: Years of Future Past #1 (of 4) — Writer: Marguerite Bennett;  Art: Mike Norton;  Colors: FCO Plascencia Secret Wars: X-Tinction Agenda #1 (of 3) … Continue reading

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. Let’s see: Convergence #8 — Writers: Jeff King and Scott Lobdell;  Pencils: Stephen Segovia, Carlo Pagulayan, Eduardo Pansica and Ethan Van Sciver;  Inks: Five different guys;  Colors: Peter Steigerwald Convergence: Action Comics #2 (of 2) — Writer: Justin Gray;  Pencils: Claude St-Aubin;  Inks: Sean Parsons;  Colors: Lovern Kindzierski and Hi-Fi Convergence: Detective … Continue reading
