I was recently asked what my favorite five partnerships/romances are. You'll notice that most of these are from extended series as opposed to single novels or movies. That's because what typically makes the relationship interesting for me is to see how it evolves over time.

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle from the Justice League is the first that ( Read more... )

MARVEL
Agents of Atlas #3 - Jeff Parker & Gabriel Hardman/Clayton Henry. Two tales for the price of one, and both are awesome.

Astonishing Tales #3 - Wolverine & Punisher by Cebulski & Rocafort continues to be OK. Iron Man 2020 by Goodbrey & Kang continues to be better than expected. Spider-Woman by Jonathon Green and Fiona Staples was a good one- ( Read more... )

MARVEL
Agents of Atlas #2 - Jeff Parker & Carlos Pagulayan/Gabriel Hardman. A past and a present tale are told side-by-side and it is all 100% brilliance.

Age of the Sentry #6 of 6 - Paul Tobin and Nick Dragotta. This was a top notch series all the way through that not only hit some campy and quirky nostalgia buttons but also finally ironed out the ( Read more... )

MARVEL
Age of the Sentry #5 of 6 - Paul Tobin/Jeff Parker and Bill Galvan/Nick Dragotta. Excuse me while I squee uncontrollably - Whoo-hooo, it's the classic Guardians of the Galaxy! Vance Astro!! Martinex!!! Charlie 27!!!! Yondu!!!!! Starhawk!!!!!! Nikki!!!!!!!! Destroyer? Sun Girl?? Teen Beat??? Boy Blob???? Immortal One (aka Wolverine)?????? OK, ( Read more... )

 MARVEL
Cable #10 - Duane Swierczynski + Ariel Olivetti. Gorgeous to look at, fun to read, and, finally, packed with some story. The main drawback that this series has suffered from has been a plot that moves a little to slowly for something released on a monthly schedule, but this issue turned that around.

Captain America #45 - Ed Brubaker + Luke ( Read more... )

All righty then, here's a list of the various TV series DVD sets that I am in the middle of

I just bought the complete Batman: The Animated Series (the good, Bruce Timm series from the 90s). It's big, it's heavy, it's 17 discs covering 107 episodes, and it's freakin' awesome.

But I've also got Doctor Who: Season Four from Netflix (moominmuppet 's NetFlix, to ( Read more... )

I'll come back and add reviews at a later date. Illness has put me far behind. That, and a new Xbox 360.

MARVEL
Age of the Sentry #4 of 6 - Jeff Parker + Nick Dragotta and Paul Tobin + Ramon Rosanas.

Avengers: The Initiative #19 - Dan Slott/Christos Gage + Harvey Tolibao. Secret Invasion (yeah, it's late)

Dark Reign: New Nation one-shot - Short story ( Read more... )

I'll come back and add reviews at a later date. Illness has put me far behind. That, and a new Xbox 360.

MARVEL
Captain America #44 - Ed Brubaker + Luke Ross.

Daredevil #113 - Ed Brubaker + Michael Lark/Stefano Gaudino.

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #2 of 5 - Simon Spurrier + Javier Saltares.

Guardians of the Galaxy #7 - Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning + Paul ( Read more... )

Still late, and the new comics are waiting.

MARVEL
Eternals #4 - Charles & Daniel Knauf and Daniel Acuna. Continuing to enjoy this a great deal.

Invincible Iron Man #5 - Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca. Building towards the first arc's finale next issue, I'm still enjoying it a great deal.

Iron Man: Golden Avenger - Fred Van Lente/M. Blankier and ( Read more... )

MARVEL
Avengers/Invaders #4 of 12 - This issue features some great action as the New Avengers show up to lend the Invaders a hand against the Mighty Avengers, but there is a problem. This series has been humming along with strong writing and solid art, but this issue ends with the note "End of Act One. Act Two Begins This October." The problem ( Read more... )
