Hey, I read some comics this week in a (somewhat) timely manner for the first time in, oh, months. I have been reading comics very slowly lately, what with the new baby and all. So here are my quick thoughts, several days later. The Return of Bruce Wayne #1 Hey! It’s Bruce Wayne! I love [...]

I don’t know about you folks, but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of the latest Doom Patrol series, partially because I really like the idea of the Patrol as a part of the Oolong Island scientocracy but also due to the fact that Keith Giffen has been doing a fantastic job of integrating some [...]

For Cat Week, I’m passing my reviewing duties over to my cat, Scrapperton. He’s an avid comic reader, although I don’t usually trust his opinion because he’s basically only interested in comics with cats in them. His favourite is Grant Morrison’s WE3, even though "iz sad" according to him. I gave Scrapperton a copy of [...]

What a week! B.P.R.D, Solomon Kane and The Unwritten their usual high-quality astonishment; Giffen managed to bring some Morrison-era weirdness into present-day Doom Patrol; present-day Morrison continued his efforts toward ensuring that someday I’ll refer to Morrison-era Batman weirdness in Batman and Robin; Jersey Gods got turned on its MF ear; there’s a damn [...]

I’m a bit out of sorts today, so forgive any lameness in the ol’ writing. Chew No. 1 They had me at the house ad. A couple of weeks ago, Image slapped an ad for Chew on the back of… something, probably Invincible, and I knew that I’d be buying it. Standard detective fare doesn’t [...]

Several of this week’s Marvel offerings had a teaser image in them that showed a white star on a black page with the word JULY underneath. This is probably just an ad for THE MARVELS PROJECT, Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting’s upcoming mini about the early days of the Super-Soldier Project and the creation of [...]

Battle for the Cowl: Man-Bat I have decided to buy all of this ‘Battle for the Cowl’ malarky so that I can warn people if it sucks. I figure that there are going to be about a fifth as many issues to buy as there were of Countdown and at least this time i have [...]

Final Crisis wrapped up this week, of course. I really loved how it ended. I definitely have to go back and read it from the beginning again to get everything out of it, but overall, this was a fantastic event with really high quality writing and artwork. I don’t want to give too much away [...]

No reviewing today (or for like, three weeks – what the hell?) ‘m just going to formally state my official Comic Nerd Christmas Wish so that whatever holiday spirit looks after my people will know what to get me. All I want for Christmas is a 6-12 issue miniseries about the Frankenstein featured in Seven [...]
