http://finalcrisisannotations.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Notes on Grant Morrison and company's DC megacrossover and its roots and shoots. Spoilers ahoy. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Final Crisis: Revelations #5. In the King James Version. Just to state the obvious. She's technically praying to Mary. Shalt" is actually used only for the second person. I shall, thou shalt, God shall. "Tastes like mutton" is a good line, though: the blood of the Lamb! Longinus was himself blind (a blind centurion? And was healed by a drop of Christ's blood. But the only thing ...

THE GOLD IN US, WILL SURVIVE IN YOU: The Chronovore
http://the-gold-in-us.blogspot.com/2008/11/chronovore.html
Monday, November 3, 2008. In case you're not fully familiar with the DC One Million event, basically a Justice League super-team from the future (the 853rd Century, to be exact) comes back in time and invites the present-day JLA to a ceremony in the future where the "Prime Superman" will be returning from a self-imposed exile within the sun. Some stuff goes bad, which I'm sure I'll explain further in another post, and yadda yadda yadda. Okay, I'll make this last one short. Written by John Francis Moore w...

THE GOLD IN US, WILL SURVIVE IN YOU: November 2008
http://the-gold-in-us.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2008. Linked Elixirs of the SuperGods: Who is the Black Glove? The good people over at the comic book news site Comic Book Resources have posted a new story. Debating the identity of The Black Glove - the mega-villain behind Grant's entire run on the Batman series. I know I haven't stepped into Batman yet here on the blog, but I will! After all, part of the fun behind Grant's run on the book starring the World's Greatest Detective is unraveling the mystery ourselves as we read.

Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"): May 2010
http://acespot1.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"). Mostly a comics review blog.I just feel an overwhelming need to share.and help others to stop spending their money on crap. Monday, May 17, 2010. Wow Somebody was listening! Way back in December of '07, in my post on Cable / Deadpool #48, I mentioned my desire to see a volume of Marvel Team-Up starring our favorite Merc with a mouth. I didn't even remember writing that. And by golly, a year later we got that very thing! And goshdarnit, comics should. I immediate...

Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"): This week's books (as yet unread)
http://acespot1.blogspot.com/2007/12/this-weeks-books-as-yet-unread.html
Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"). Mostly a comics review blog.I just feel an overwhelming need to share.and help others to stop spending their money on crap. Thursday, December 13, 2007. This week's books (as yet unread). Is certainly interesting, but it’s not that good. For one thing, it’s set in a Gotham city unlike any that we’ve ever seen before. What’s the point of setting this book in a shared universe if you’re not even going to take advantage of said universe&...I’ll read it, becau...

Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"): Catwoman #74
http://acespot1.blogspot.com/2007/12/catwoman-74.html
Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"). Mostly a comics review blog.I just feel an overwhelming need to share.and help others to stop spending their money on crap. Friday, December 21, 2007. The ending of this book just SCREAMS. Editorial mandate. What in the nine hells is Catwoman getting hunted down like a criminal for? Still, Pfeifer always seems to try to make the best of stupid editorial decisions, and I'm sure that he'll have a lot of fun with Catwoman on Murderworld. The Long Count #1.

Terror, Inc. #4. Terror, Inc. #4. As I feared, this issue is nothing but filler. It's still a lot of fun, but I can't give it much more than an EH. For the sole reason that, were this chapter omitted, I believe that the story would not suffer at all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Long Count #1.

Spot's World (formerly "One Month Later"). Mostly a comics review blog.I just feel an overwhelming need to share.and help others to stop spending their money on crap. Friday, December 21, 2007. Moral - for a corrupt criminal - if you see what I'm saying. Plus, bringing the Kingpin in completely undercuts all the recent developments in Daredevil. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just some ugly fat guy. God, I hope so. Still, it's an OKAY. Issue of this title. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Unoffici...

THE GOLD IN US, WILL SURVIVE IN YOU: Knight and Squire and the Club of Heroes
http://the-gold-in-us.blogspot.com/2009/02/knight-and-squire-and-club-of-heroes_8730.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. Knight and Squire and the Club of Heroes. One of the coolest Silver Age concepts Grant revived was the idea of The Batmen of all Nations (now referred to as The Club of Heroes), a group of heroes inspired by Batman throughout the world who occasionally meet to solve mysteries. Initially, the idea was presented as kind of hokey, with their adventures involving goofy gimmicks and bad guys. Early appearance by the Batmen of All Nations. This time, looking like this:. For those who...
