Solid week of comics with arcs tying up; others are getting going, and every book was quality, can’t ask for much more than that.

The Boys #19 - Superheroes are near and dear to me, and Garth Ennis fucking hates superheroes, so logic would dictate that I should hate his stuff, and yet, a quick glance at my comic shelves (yeah, finally hit two, wooo ( Read more... )

Interesting week, as mentioned yesterday, Scud invades Heaven and ends his tale; the Skrulls launch shock troops into the heart of NYC; the Boys keep pissing off all the superheroes; Buffy makes war on Japanese ninja vampires; Nova takes on Galactus; and Iron Man loses his swerve.

All that and more after the jump.

Solid week, including the kick-off for Marvel’s big event book for the year.  I really want it to be good, because after DC’s Infinite Crisis and Marvel’s Civil War I’m getting a little of the ‘Event Fatigue’ due to late shipping and underwhelming story arcs.  Thankfully World War Hulk and Sinestro Corps War were good, but both of those books were ( Read more... )

Now normally, I’d have a hearty laugh and ( Read more... )

How does Chris Sims do this everyday?  I can barely get my reviews out once a week, sometimes every two weeks, and he writes every goddamn day.

Son of a bitch.

I couldn’t have picked a worse two weeks to put together as I bought a lot.

Hope you like reading.

All Flash #1: Wally’s back and so is Waid, though the rumor is only for four issues.  ( Read more... )

I couldn’t get to the comic store last week, so we’ll just do both weeks now, since the pickings from both are rather slim.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #4 - Joss Whedon just writes damn exciting comics. The guy has a gift for cliffhangers that keep making you want to come back again and again.  Even here, in the fourth issue that wraps up the very ( Read more... )
