When it comes to determining what solicited covers need to be edited, DC seems to follow the Frank Zappa school of thought…
Final Crisis #6 Review
Well, that final sequence sure whetted everyone’s appetite for a full issue of Doug Mahnke, no? Another great issue, although the art could certainly be better (and it will be next issue – woohoo!).
A Month of Writing Stars – John Arcudi
Every day this month I’m going to feature a current comic book writing “star,” someone who I think is a very good writer. I’m mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and [...]
A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments – Day 14
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here‘s the archive of the moments posted so far! Today we look at the first Alan Moore moment on this list – it’s courtesy of one of his awesome Green [...]

But the precedent is, at the [...]

A comic came out this week that is NOT written by Grant Morrison, and features:
Quick Amazing Spider-Man #583 Review
I figured it’s only right to give a quick review for the rest of the issue! It was yet another standout issue by Mark Waid, who seems born to write Spider-Man comic books.
Amazing Spider-Man #583 Obama Story Review
Retailers certainly will not mind, as this was basically a license to print money by Marvel doing this Barack Obama back-up story, but for a reader, this slight five-page story is not exactly worth the extra buck (note – it’s not a “bonus back-up feature” if you’re charging an extra dollar for it – it’s [...]

John Seavey’s Storytelling Engines: The Muppet Show
Here’s the latest Storytelling Engine from John Seavey. Click here to read John’s description of what a Storytelling Engine IS, anyways. Check out more of them at his blog, Fraggmented. John didn’t think that this installment was comic book related, but he must have missed the news that Boom! is doing a Muppet Show comic [...]
