In this crappy economic climate, I find it soothing to think back to a more fruitful era, like the 1980s. It seemed possible that we could all someday sleep on a pile of money, since even children like Richie Rich were ridiculously wealthy. Computers were going to solve all of our problems. Soon a pill would [...]

Showcase Presents: World’s Finest finally came out last week. If you buy only one book in your life, make it this one. I haven’t done a page-by-page analysis of a comic for awhile. Re-reading this one in the Showcase book reminded me that it is AWESOME. Behold the greatness that is World’s Finest #71! Well [...]

Well played, DC. Well played. If you haven’t read your comics yet this week, I’ll just let you know that I am throwing down all sorts of spoilers here. You’ve been warned. The Flash #13 It’s the last issue of this series. It has the Black Flash on the cover. Carrying Bart’s dead body. So [...]

I’ve been known to complain about the current Superman/Batman series, because it is so crappy. But sometimes you just gotta pull out an old issue of World’s Finest to remind yourself that it wasn’t all solid gold either. This issue is many things, but mainly: a) Melodramaticb) Ridiculousc) Romantic It takes place during that angst-ridden [...]

It was a very light week for me, which is good after the mountain of comics I had to get through last week. Plus it gave me time and money to pick up the new Y: The Last Man trade. Next week looks like it’s going to be another big week. I tried to get [...]

Civil War? Pffft. Whatever, Marvel. When DC throws a war it covers the whole damn world. And it lasts one week. That’s right. Efficiency. Look it up. Let’s do this thing. World War III #1-4 First of all, thanks DC for making me have to buy four issues in one week. I’m not made of [...]

I didn’t get to read all my comics last night because of Grindhouse, so I’m a little late with this. I have some new additions to the weekly reviews. Most importantly, Jonah Hex, which I am now caught up on and have decided to buy monthly rather than wait for the trades because, frankly, it’s [...]

It is with a heavy heart that I write this, the final post in Bob Haney Rules Week. I just read Brave and the Bold #138. The world’s two greatest escape artists? Awesome! Batman talks a lot like Dean Martin in this book: And he wears an extra-long cape, it seems. The best thing about [...]

The penultimate Bob Haney Rules Week post. I just picked up the 150th issue of Brave and the Bold, which also happened to be Bob Haney’s 117th issue of the same series. And don’t you dare suggest that after 117 B&B stories, Haney may have run out of ideas, because that just isn’t true! In [...]
