The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #34 by Dan!

All right folks, here comes the last round of #2’s hitting the market. The Professor is claiming that he “doesn’t mean” to write 2,000 words about every one of these, but we all know he’s just screwing with me. On to the books! Incredible Hulk #1 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Marc Silvestri: I’m not a Hulk fan, I’m not a Silvestri fan, and Aaron is hit-or-miss. Here? It’s a miss. There’s nothing to draw me in, nothing fun and it’s not an issue I thought was worth anything at all. Wolverine and the X-men #1 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Chris … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #32

All right folks, it’s officially the last week of the DC 52 relaunch. So I swear it’s the last time Phil and I will ramble on about new DC comics (Well, I’ll make that promise. Ya never really know with the Professor). Just like two weeks ago, I’ll give quick sentences about other important stuff, then do the big 13 releases of the week. Let’s do this! Kick-Ass 2 #4 Writer: Mark Millar Artist: John Romita Jr.: Now with more gang-rape! This comic is getting really hardcore really quick. It’s intense! Brilliant #1 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Mark Bagley: … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #27

All right folks, it’s a Sunday afternoon, you know what that means… I’m hung over! Just kidding (kinda), but what it really means is it’s time for me to judge books that are wayyyyyy older than me. Let’s do this! Jonah Hex #9 from 1978 So this is the kind of comic that has a little asterisk after frijole to tell you it’s Spanish for “bean” but then just expects you to know what palaver means. Oh the 70’s!… In this issue, Hex is dragged to Mexico to help the government get some gold treasure (no, I can’t really explain … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #21

Another day, another review of pure 60’s insanity.  Let’s do this! Action Comics # 318 from 1964 So apparently there’s a planet named Lexor that absolutely worships Lex Luthor… news to me!  Luthor attempts to return to it by sleeping on a cot in a spaceship (you heard me), and it totally works.  He, obviously, has the entire planet turned against Supey and that makes things extremely difficult when Superman comes to the planet to get him back.  Superman punches Lex in the face so hard he dies, again not kidding, so he’s put on trial for the murder of … Continue reading
