News and Views by Chris Barat. Comics, book, and DVD reviews (and occasional eruptions of other kinds). Friday, October 31, 2014. Stevenson 57, FDU-Florham 0 (10/25). Seen play at Mustang Stadium (and that counts SU in its first two 2-8 seasons). The stands were packed for the disembowelment. S unfortunate quarterback was, in fact, named Jagger Green. I couldn't help but make with the jokes about the QB being unable to find any satisfaction. Being knocked off his cloud. From last season's 14-14 team, 201...

(Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts: New comic review: Donald Duck #2 (#369) (IDW, June 2015)
http://ryanwynns.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-comic-review-donald-duck-2-369-idw.html
Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Thursday, July 30, 2015. 2 (#369) (IDW, June 2015). Blackout gag flavor. Still, with Donald taking up Gideon on his job offer at the story's beginning, I felt that Donald was stepping across the threshold on a Hero's Journey. and yet after all is said and done, it seems that we're supposed to take the idea of him ever being a successful investigative reporter as a joke. It's safe to say that this is decidedly NOT a "mastery story". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

(Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts: New comic review: Mickey Mouse #1 (#310) (IDW, June 2015)
http://ryanwynns.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-comic-review-mickey-mouse-1-310-idw.html
Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Thursday, July 30, 2015. 1 (#310) (IDW, June 2015). I didn’t realize that Casty had started only writing and not drawing some of his stories. Is that for scheduling reasons? Or because as he envisioned this story, it was in Cavazzano’s style? And either way, does it mean that a story he doesn’t both write and draw isn’t as much his baby? However, he did draw the cover:. But Mickey and Goofy prove worthy partners in her adventure, weathering its perils just as well:.

(Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts: November 2014
http://ryanwynns.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Saturday, November 29, 2014. The TV series) 20th anniversary - Episode 14: "Garden of Evil" (9/14/94). Owing to active, fluid animation that's both graceful and quirky, striking background art that is more lush, ethereal, dense, and intricate than that of virtually any other episode, and a tight, lazer-focused, rolling, expedited plot, "Garden of Evil" is in terms of story craft and aesthetics one of the most outstanding episodes of Aladdin. I am ever so sorry!

Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Sunday, June 21, 2015. 1 (#368) (IDW, May 2015). At the outset of the Gladstone II era, I wrote multiple letters to their offices requesting, "Romano Scarpa! Such a desire stemmed from the final two months of Gladstone's original run, during which all of their books were 64 pages, more than half of them each featuring a vintage Scarpa story: the Gottfredson-esque "Kali's Nail". And "The Mystery of Tapiocus VI". In Mickey Mouse, "The McDuck Foundation". Cut to Donal...
