The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #58 by Dan
All right folks, it’s been a long week, but reviews are here for your viewing pleasure! Let’s do this! Daredevil #18 Writer: Mark Waid Artist: Chris Samnee Month in and month out, Daredevil continues to be one of the best reads on the stands. I was worried when Marcos Martin left the book, but how can you not love Chris Samnee? Waid has transitioned this book from a basic superhero story to some kind of mental mystery. After Daredevil took a ton of abuse in the 90s and 2000s, Waid has pretty much turned his story into a psychological analysis … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #18 by Dan!
It was an interesting light(er) week, so I’ll probably frustrate some people with my picks. But that just means you’re reading, and we know I only do this for a reaction… Let’s do this! My Top 5 (The 5 Best Comics of the Week) Punishermax #11 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Steve Dillon The more I read this, the more angry I am at Ultimate Avengers for delaying this story art. Steve Dillon is a comic genius, and is one of (if not THE) best artists Marvel of DC has to offer. Add to that that Jason Aaron is transferring his … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #190
Jennifer Blood #1 (of 5?) — Writer: Garth Ennis; Art: Adriana Batista A suburban housewife is also the Punisher — that’s the premise of this mini-series, one that Ennis says, in an interview in the back, is meant to be less “bleak,” and lighter in tone, than a lot of his recent work. Of course, as an example of “lighter,” he mentions Hitman, which had a body count higher than most W.W.II movies — so, too, with this book, which features our heroine going to the docks at night (after spiking her husband’s and kids’ bedtime drinks with Valium) to blow … Continue reading

It Came From the Back Room #11
Standard recap: I’m slowly going through AABC’s one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (especially with the school year now in full gear), this amounts to a two-year project. I’m currently (and finally!) finishing the Marvel “M” stuff, and here’s the last title I’ve encountered: Marvel Comics Presents: MCP was started in mid-1988, and was a biweekly anthology series; it was likely a reaction to DC’s early-1988 move of Action Comics to a weekly anthology (no, kids, … Continue reading
