The Bad Genious: Summer Reading, pt. 6
http://badgenious.blogspot.com/2009/08/summer-reading-pt-6.html
Summer Reading, pt. 6. Captain America: Reborn #2. I know I reviewed my latest batch of Marvel books last week, but I decided to give Captain America: Reborn another shot. The first issue fell kind of flat for me for two reasons: the same two reasons this issue fell flat for me. What a coincidence? Batman and Robin #2. Possibly, but if you haven't gotten on board yet, what's your excuse? The Savage Dragon #150. Yeah, that's awesome, especially when many Marvel and DC books cost you just two bucks less fo...

The Bad Genious: June 2009

Summer Reading, pt. 1. Summer. This is the comic book fan's season for catching up and enjoying a good, geeky book while one should be outside instead. Jenn remarked last week while on our honeymoon, "How did comic books end up coming on our honeymoon? Grendel War Child #'s 1-10. Star Wars: The Clone Wars #6. This first arc was in no way as engaging as the first season of the television show. Maybe it will pick up soon, but if the second arc doesn't grab me, this book will be on the chopping block. Kinda...

Bureau of Drawers Quarterly. I know that none of the Bad Genious has posted here in something like 4 years, but I thought I'd take a moment to promote a project that I've been involved with recently. Over the last several years, I've been part of a collective of Seattle based illustrators, know as the Bureau of Drawers. Recently, our group has been producing a free, quarterly digital anthology titled -imaginatively-. Bureau of Drawers Quarterly. Nothing to see here, move along. Posted by The General.

Wolverine has graced a ton of covers and here are my Top Ten Best Wolverine covers and my Top Ten Worst Wolverine covers. It was difficult to really pinpoint which ones I loved but it was not difficult at all in picking the worst ones. They were quite a few stinkers in there. Does one of your favorites make my list? Or does it land in the worst list? TOP TEN WOLVERINE COVERS. 1) WOLVERINE #1 (1st Limited Series). All in one cover. 2) UNCANNY X-MEN #212. 3) MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #79. Barry Windsor-Smith'...

The Bad Genious: Waited for Trade: More Birthday Goodness
http://badgenious.blogspot.com/2009/08/waited-for-trade-more-birthday-goodness.html
Waited for Trade: More Birthday Goodness. I am a sucker for trades. A couple of months ago I purchased some trades with some birthday money and I have noticed a trend my wife absolutely hates. Usually when I buy a batch of trades it leads to more trades. And sure enough, I splurged and bought a whole bunch more. With this batch, I reviewed. Weapon Omega, Green Lantern: No Fear, Mouse Guard: Winter 1152, Annihilation Book 2, Kinetic and the highly anticipated (by yours truly) Captain Britain Omnibus.

A Week of Watching THE WATCHMEN! It’s the fifth and final day of the Bad Genious gang’s dissection of the Watchmen. Movie We’ve got lots of ground to cover today, as we talk about everything from the film’s use of music, to a game of “What If? 8221; with the directors who were attached to the film over the years, to a final discussion of Dr. Manhattan’s …. ummmm…. weapon of mass destruction. So, you know the drill by now…. SPOILER WARNINGS ON! Damn, that was impressive. The opening sequence was killer.

More ranting and raving on comic book collecting? You ask. Yes! I can deliver on that. It's free and a renewable resource. Just don't abuse my cantankerous attitude for your own benefit. My targets this week include Kingdom Come, Ultimatum, Back Issues, and The Spirit movie. Enter all who dare. Give DC a Chance, pt. II. Could I actually appreciate a book from a company I have little love for? Actually, no. I could not like. Back (issues) to the Future. Might I offer you an alternative? Ditto Aside from k...

The Bad Genious: How To Make A Character Lame: The Punisher
http://badgenious.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-make-character-lame-punisher.html
How To Make A Character Lame: The Punisher. Not all comic books are equal. We fans all know that. Some comic books are just better than others. Many times it is an isolated incident. But there are some instances where a character is treated poorly over a long period of time. Sometimes is laughably bad. Sometimes it can be downright insulting to the fans. At the time. It went down like this. Cat got your tongue? When there is no answer, another cop whacks Frank in the back, saying, "Maybe the coon's got h...
