Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. 06/26/08 – Avengers week! June 26, 2008. There was yet another Avengers title in my box:. Avengers: The Initiative 14. I really enjoyed this issue. In fact, I may actually read it again (pssst, that’s really high praise from me, I rarely read something more than once inside 5 years). While I agree that Triathlon’s (sp? Is actually directly related/tied to the original 3-D Man. Dan Slott, you continuity whore, you haven’t let me down yet! Uncanny X-Men 499 –. Continuity to...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. December 18, 2008. Man, I feel really bad for the .whatever that guys’ name is. Obviously he’ll be back in some form or another – the cube ring is doing something. Didn’t he get his ring rather unscrupuluously? Still, he “learned what it means to be a hero”, so I have to feel bad for the guy. Legacy 219 & Juggernaut. December 12, 2008. So there’s an interview up. Here’s the thing with insanely repetitive villains and fighting them over and over again: it gets old. So, in ...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. Thunderbolts 128 and Dark Avengers 1. January 23, 2009. On the other hand, were crap. Don’t get me wrong, they were well written. I just have zero interest in reading one book about Osborn, let alone 2 (and god knows how many crossovers). If you thought Tony Stark was annoying when he popped up “being right” in all the other titles…just imagine Osborn popping up being “so wrong its right” or whatever the tagline will be. Oh well, someday Songbird, Mach 5 and the whole cre...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. January 23, 2009. And I have no idea where it’s going now. You should pick it up – although the resonance won’t be near as strong if you haven’t been a long-time reader. Seriously, this thing has been brewing since nearly the beginning of the series. Ouch. January 15, 2009. Of course, it’s amusing/sad/mind boggling that both companies only have one. 8211; who has gotten some screen time lately in Black Panther (and Nextwave. Anyway, my point is that there really aren̵...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. I finally won a Comics Cover Challenge! April 30, 2008. I think it was only my 3rd guess, but I’ve been watching/playing for quite a while now and usually can’t even get a decent idea to make a guess. So, if anyone happens to be following the link in here to say hi &and see what’s about – welcome! If it wasn’t obvious, this is where I house the portion of my blogging activity devoted to comics (I have a general blog to devoted to anything and everything here. Don’t ...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. 03/26/08 – not much last week. March 26, 2008. I like this series. And I like Mike Carey, so I like the series even more. I’m not a big Prof. X fan, so that means Carey is doing a decent job. I don’t know where it’s going – it must have an ending point right? Having the Prof just ramble through history forever would be kind of pointless, so I assume the goal is to get him to some point, then use that as the series’ reason for being type deal. Flight and energy blasts?

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. Green Arrow/Black Canary 12. September 22, 2008. I’m still not seeing much of a reason for this series, but I do so love Jud’s writing – although I have to say the ending here was one of the worst I’ve seen him do. I’m sorry but I can’t stand the whole “aging a child so he’s suddenly of appropriate age to be a cast member/villain/etc.” schtick. IT IS OLD AND TIRed and we wouldn’t need it if characters actually aged…. Uncanny X-Men 502 and X-Factor 35. September 18, 2008.

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. November 28, 2008. But I’m really bummed about the little gorgon chick- she would have made a great supporting cast member. Hopefully we a get a quick comic turnaround ressurection. Plus, Cho didn’t even seem bummed or angry about what happened –. Was the suckiest part about the ish. Edit: She shouldn’t be too dead right? November 20, 2008. Was a waste of time. Or maybe the art is so ugly and muddled it makes the story seem nauseating as well. November 20, 2008. So far it...

Bi-Weekly new comics commentary. May 28, 2008. 8230;what the hell? So uh…did Countdown happen on a parallel world? All the New Gods JUST FUCKING DIED and now no on remembers it/didn’t happen/wtf? I suppose it will be explained by some kind of life/anti-life thing rewriting memories – I mean it has to be right? You can’t have a HUGE year long event that culminates in something that is retconned the VERY NEXT MONTH can you? They’d be setting a new record in retcon size if this is the case. May 25, 2008.
