This Week’s Haul: Wolverine Does Not Appear in This Post

| April 24, 2009

Supergirl #40 I don’t know why people think I am trying to fool them when I say that this series is awesome and all superhero comic fans should be reading it. Supergirl is such a well-constructed, likable heroine and this latest storyline has been exciting and fun to read. Plus, Jamal Igle draws Supergirl with [...]

Battle for the John Buys Comics

| April 23, 2009

Azrael: Death’s Dark Knight No 2 of 3 You know, this isn’t half bad. I didn’t pay too much attention to Azrael the first time out but he had some interesting history, with the secret religious order and the mental conditioning and so forth (and wouldn’t it have been a great idea for DC to [...]

Wednesday Interview: Sterling Gates

| April 22, 2009

If you have been reading Living Between Wednesdays for a long time, then you might be familiar with my long struggle with Supergirl. It went from apathy to hate to offense to curiosity to optimism to love in only a few short years. Supergirl’s role in the current New Krypton event has solidified my love of [...]

JLA: Cry for Supergirl

| April 18, 2009

 I had a really busy Wednesday and Thursday, so I was late reading my comics this week. But I did want to mention this: From left to right: Hero! Hero! Hero! Hero! Boobs! Aw man! Surely DC is not doing this. Not after they have worked so hard and earned my praise for the last [...]

The Only Thing I Read This Week

| April 9, 2009

  Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade #5 This book has been consistently super fun, and this week reached a new height: absolutely bananas.  A time-traveling, alternate-universe Supergirl called, "Supragirl" shows up, along with Comet, the super horse! Lena Luthor transitions from just being a whiny, clingy friend into a purple & green-clad mini-super [...]

Twelve Days of Christmas Special Review Series, Part Four, By Johnathan

| December 31, 2008

Only three days behind! I was going to write this last night, but I was distracted by enchiladas and wine. Who could resist that, I ask you? Back to that super-hero party from Adventure Comics No. 289 (I can’t stop plugging Super Future Friends! Go there!) – remember, the whole reason that Supergirl hauled her [...]

Twelve Days of Christmas Special Review Series, Part Two, By Johnathan

| December 29, 2008

Dammit, I’m writing this on Calling Birds but I’m only up to Turtledoves (Augh! I was away from the internet again! It’s Golden Rings!). Have to pick up the pace, Johnathan, or those Lords’ll be a-leaping sometime in February. Continuing with Adventure Comics No. 289, today we answer the pressing question: what do super-heroes get [...]

Twelve Days of Christmas Special Review Series, Part One, By Johnathan

| December 27, 2008

Hallo hallo! It’s me, Johnathan, back from the far-away land of Offline and fat with turkey and buttered vegetables. As promised, I’m going to rock the twelve days of Christmas with twelve reviews highlighting various modes of holiday celebration in the comical booklets that I so love. And since we’re already on Day 3 (French [...]

This Week’s Haul: Supergirl for Everyone!

| December 4, 2008

So I’ve already told you how awesome The War at Ellsmere, which came out this week, is. But there were also a lot of other awesome comics! Probably some bad ones too, but I fortunately didn’t read any of those! Batman #682 I think that all the confusing mess that was Batman: R.I.P. was worth [...]

This Week’s Haul: So very sick

| November 24, 2008

Welcome to Living Between Wednesdays…where we like our coffee black and our comic reviews late. I have been awful sick lately, but fortunately there were a lot of good comics to read. I have been very slowly writing these mini-reviews over the past few days, taking frequent nap breaks. Super Friends #9 J.Bone not only [...]
