The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #90 by Dan!

Posted on January 5, 2014 by admin

And we’re back! We took last week off, what with it being an insanely light shipment, so here we are in the New Year! Worth noting from last week was the new issue of Forever Evil, a new issue of Hickman’s Avengers and the book I’ll talk about below. Let’s do this! The Saviors #1 Writer: James Robinson Artist: J. Bone If you’ve ever wondered what a Darwyn Cooke book written by the guy who did Starman would look like, well, this is about the closest you’re going to get. Hoo boy is this a good book! A slacker in … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #83 by Dan!

Posted on September 8, 2013 by admin

Hoo boy this is a big week. So I’m going to do a couple things. Up top is going to be the traditional reviews, covering the usual current comics, then at the bottom I’ll do a rundown of those 3-D villain stories. Let’s do this! Forever Evil #1 Writer: Geoff Johns Artist: David Finch: So the big event kicks off for the big month for DC, and how is it? Well, in a word… fine. It’s better if you like Finch’s art (I’m not usually a fan), and it’s as strong and consistent of a story as you’d expect to … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #76 by Dan!

All right folks! It’s been an interesting week, so let’s do this! Superman Unchained #1 Writer: Scott Snyder Artist: Jim Lee Batman #21 Writer: Greg Capullo Artist: Greg Capullo Two very different books come from one writer this week. The big brand new ‘crazy awesome’ Superman comic kinda hits with a thump. There’s a lot of ideas here (a Superman-equivalent from the 40s could be used to beat Superman, Lois Lane’s dad is evil as always, Lex Luthor is watching, as always), but the problem is that there seems to be nothing I haven’t seen before. Even the Lee art … Continue reading →

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #68 by Dan!

Posted on February 15, 2013 by admin

All right folks, I’m back in action! It’s time for another round of “I don’t know what to say, just buy it!” Let’s do this! Star Wars #2 Writer: Brian Wood Artist: Carlos D’Anda So this book is shockingly good, but then when you stop and think about the team involved in it, it begins to make more sense. Set between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, we all know where the story is going to lead, but the actual telling of it is what matters, and with that, Wood knocks it out of the park! D’anda’s got one of … Continue reading →

Phil’s Reviews Special: FCBD, Plus the Avengers Movie

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Phil

Avengers Movie Review first:  go see it.  A small series of misadventures left us walking into the theater halfway into the previews (so I missed the Dark Knight trailer), and meant we had to sit in the second row — but it was a 3D movie, and it turns out that’s the perfect spot for me; I’m nearsighted in one eye, and farsighted in the other, so 3D effects don’t work well, but when it’s that close they work fine. Even better, Harkins is wise enough to invest in good theater seats with comfortable headrests that lean back easily, so … Continue reading →
