07/25/08 – a whole month of comics

| July 25, 2008

So I somehow managed to go almost a month without picking anything up.  Here’s what was in my box: Avengers: Initiative 15:  I love this title.  We get a solidifying of Crusader’s status (although he royally fucked up by driving 3D off…) and some Gauntlet action.  Please don’t cancel this book Marvel.  I think I [...]

06/25/08 – recent comics

| June 25, 2008

Final Crisis 2 – I’m sure there’s a reason one of the evil gods is the spitting image of Al Sharpton.  I like the writing in what Morrison is doing here, but much of the rest of the DC world feels “off”.  I think maybe he’s not meant to write mainstream books…everything he does has [...]

05/22/08 – thoughts for the week

| May 22, 2008

X-Men – Divided We Stand 2: Wow, what a piece of shit these two one-shots turned out to be huh? The Beast story is the best written, and I like that it brought the disembodied brain (Martha?) back. Seeing as how it was written by Mike Carey though, it should at least be decent (although [...]

01/09/08 – Venoms, attaaaaack!

| January 10, 2008

Uncanny X-Men 494 And don’t forget “Baaaaad Bishop, no donut!” We find out why one of the alternate futures is important (but not the other, still nothing from it yet? I wonder if it’s Cable’s future? That’s my guess anyway). Lots of talking, and more whining about Caliban again, who really should have known better. [...]

12/12/07 – I bought a DC comic?

| December 12, 2007

What DC comic did I buy you ask? Well, if the cover right here wasn’t a giveaway – I know you looked at it before you read this text – Green Lantern 25. The finale of the Sinestro War – part 11 of ELEVEN! PS: Eleven is a much cooler issue count for a crossover [...]
