A FEW COMIC BOOK REVIEWS….

FEAR ITSELF #2. So we’re two issues in to Marvel’s latest event, and in this issue we see Odin imprison Thor (again). It’s a little hard to follow why Thor and Odin keep clashing, and honestly this latest one seems manufactured to match up with where Thor is at in his maturity in the movie—rather [...]

COMICS REVIEWS, IN SHORT

Fast reviews of last week’s comics! Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5. Best issue of the series ever, due largely to the amazing artwork by relative newcomer Ryan Sook (of “Seven Soldiers”) and also because, finally, something relevant happened.  I get the sense that most of issues 1 through 4 are, and will be, [...]

BATMAN AND ROBIN #14 (review)

I’ve been as hot on Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin title as I have been on any D.C. title, which is to say, I’ve been luke-warm.  Most of the DCU (Vertigo excluded) just doesn’t rock me.  But B&R has been solid from the beginning, due largely to to the fact that author Grant Morrison hasn’t [...]

NEWS FOR THE COMIC BOOK READER . . .

1.  COMICS LEARN FROM TUPAC. It’s good to be dead!  The Top 10 bestselling single comics of the month of 2010, according to Diamond distributors, all had to do with characters who are recently dead, “dead,” or back from the dead: 1. Avengers #1 (Steve Rogers—and Iron Man, if you count being a vegetable as [...]

15 COMICS THAT NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO LIFE . . . Now!

Note: This list eschews the obvious (Justice League!), the pretty-far-along (Deadpool!) and the already done (even if you sucked, you were Superman, Brandon!) in favor of those books that need their adaptations developed NOW! As always, I favor capes over clothes and lean heavily towards Marvel and DC. Those are my personal biases. If you [...]

MORE SUPERNEWS PLEASE!

1.  Oh, God, please . . . No (Part One). There’s actual development on a Hancock 2.  As if you didn’t get enough sleep during Hancock 1. 2.  Blackest Night #5. Just a mention: Finally, something happens!  This is the first time that I’ve read a BN story—and I’ve read ‘em all so far—where, when [...]

BREAKING BATMAN NEWS

I just read that Grant Morrison is writing Bruce Wayne’s return.  Bruce finds him not dead after Final Crisis but actually thrown through time, and he’ll be trying to get back to his place in time.  Holy Captain America rip off, Batman!  Except that at one point, he’ll be a pirate.  Holy Fantastic Four rip [...]
