I'm in the process of moving, so my comics are inaccessible at the moment. Which means that the list of future comics that hit the web are the perfect fodder for blogging; I am required to post my opinions as a comic blogger, and all the research material is right…
Marvel announce over a gadjillion books for you to buy in April (info here). Spider-Girl #97 has the line 'He’s back by popular demand!' in the blurb. Isn’t this the comic that is being cancelled at #100 after years of near-cancellation due to low numbers? What does popular demand mean…
The turn of Image to tease me with their forthcoming releases (details here). Frank Cho Women – now this is what the fans really want. I think that Cho does draw a fine-looking female, but this is just baseless pandering. At least the cheesecake is hidden within story-telling in his…
A quick peek at what DC has to offer that tickles my fancy (from here). Supergirl #7 sees the debut of Greg Rucka, who is a good writer; I’m conflicted, though, as to whether this will be a good fit, even though the concept seems enduringly goofy enough (Supergirl and…
Books I want this week: Strangehaven #18When was the last time this came out? Always a pleasure to see this appear on the New Comics List. Jack Cross #2I never watched 24, so the comparisons some have made mean nothing to me. Even if Erskine isn't at his best, the…
Let us take a gander at Marvel's November solicitations: Marvel confuses me: apparently Microman and Mantor the Magician are 'Marvel Milestones' whereas Spider-Man & The Black Cat #1–3 are 'Marvel Must Haves'. Are they for real, or do they just like alliteration? Reading on Kevin Smith’s blog about how he…
A lot to get through today: Image solicitations, my comics for the week, some reviews and bits. It’s like buses … Image solicitations for November Award for most hilarious line of blurb goes to the Image Comics HC: 'ALL PREVIOUS ORDERS HAVE DECOMPOSED'. This is part of the Image problem,…
I was supposed to be in Olso this past weekend for a friend’s wedding, but the problems with BA meant I didn’t go. This really bummed me out, which is why I haven’t posted the last couple of days. However, the posting of DC solicitations for November have cheered me…
Bring on the Marvel hype! House of M (or, House of Hmmmmmmm) comes to a hopefully satisfying conclusion or it really will be a waste of time and hype, and the internet won't so much crack in half as fall asleep. Should Bendis be allowed to write huge crossovers in…
I always feel I should be into more Image comics, now that they have a much more expansive and higher quality range than when it first came out, but I don’t know if I can get over my stupid prejudices. I feel guilty when something I had been interested in…
