The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #35 by Dan
Oh no! Bet you didn’t expect me back so soon. Outside circumstances are giving you a double dose of Dan two weeks in a row, so let’s do this! Uncanny X-men #1 Writer: Kieron Gillen Artist: Carlos Pacheco: This is what you should be doing with the X book. It’s not some wacky-art tour like Wolverine was, it’s a fair intro to the characters that has a big ol’ bad guy to fight. Very good stuff. Shame Itself #1: Writer/Artist: Various: There’s a lot to like about this comedy anthology one-shot. It’s fun stuff that’s very self-criticizing. It’s got a … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #24
All right folks, the X-men movie is out, and I haven’t seen it yet. Do not spoil it for me… I warnin’ ya’! Let’s do this! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Secret Seven #1 Writer: Peter Milligan Artist: George Pérez This series is the exact kind of story that these mini series should be. You draw in the classic people with Pérez art, you draw in the indie crowd with Hellblazer‘s Milligan and what you get is pure F-ing insanity. There’s so much going on here, and it’s almost completely independent to the Flashpoint series … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #22
So it’s almost Free Comic Book Day. Are you prepared? Are you SURE? Well, here’s some reviews to settle you down before the brouhaha. My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of The Week) Moon Knight #1 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Alex Maleev So here’s the deal. I saw this and went “Wow! Maleev actually isn’t photo-referencing! This looks hand-drawn, but it doesn’t look quite right.” Then a very aware customer (I’m lookin’ at you Jeff) says “You know, it’s a tribute style to Bill Sienkiewicz” and my mind was blown. This book is absolutely great. And the new … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #20!
It’s been twenty of these; have I become any better? Read on to find out! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Axe Cop #2 Writer: Malachai Nicolle Artist: Ethan Nicolle Written by a six-year-old and drawn by his thirty-year-old brother! This comic is just as ridiculously rad as you think it would be. There is literally, vikings fighting baseball players (a much more even fight than you’d think), The people of the Uni-Smart World had their unicorn horns covered so they no longer had “magic unicorn powers.” Originally a webcomic, this has translated almost perfectly to … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #188
Iron Man #500 — Writer: Matt Fraction; Art: Salvador Larroca and Frank D’Armata; Kano; Nathan Fox and Javier Rodriguez; Carmine Di Giandomenico and Matthew Wilson One of those start-the-original-numbering-over anniversary issues, complete with a five-page gallery of all 500 covers. Fraction proved with last year’s Iron Man Annual that’s he’s good at these big-event comics, and he doesn’t disappoint here, providing a 56-page story that guest-stars Spider-Man and roams from the present to the year 2052 (where the Mandarin, who was handled so well by Fraction in that annual, has taken over the world) and back; the varying time periods … Continue reading
