What I bought – 6 May 2009
Excellent stuff this week, people! I got a bunch of good single issues, but also nine OGNs or TPBs. My wallet is in pain, but I have a ton of cool stuff to read! And, just to piss off frequent commenter FunkyGreenJerusalem, a special treat at the end of each review!
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Bronze Age – A New Beginning Pt. 3
Forget all that crap I said about the importance of new genres and formats. When you get right down to it, the Bronze Age was one in which boundaries were pushed. Readers witnessed a revolution in form as the fourth wall was often knocked down, certain metatextual themes appeared and the entire industry became self-referential [...]

Yep, it’s been a little over a year since I last did this bit, so now we take another tour through the alphabet, with a different cool comic book item each day, from A to Z! We begin this go-around with a short little fellow…

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Bronze Age – A New Beginning Pt. 2
Forget all that crap I said about horror and the importance of new genres during the Bronze Age. The Bronze Age is defined by one thing, and one thing alone: Format. The book that ushered in the wave of new formats was Wham-O-Comics #1, the first Bronze Age book.
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Ze volume 1 & 2
When I first saw folks compare Ze to Fruits Basket I was incredibly skeptical but after reading volumes 1 and 2, I can only describe the series as if creator Yuki Shimizu took the relationship-webbing of Love Mode and placed it in a gay version of our favorite shojo manga. And yes, I actually think [...]

Random Thoughts! (May 5, 2009)
Another week, another batch of barely worthwhile ramblings written very late at night when I’ve stopped caring about everything. That’s right, it’s random thoughts time! Get excited!
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Bronze Age – A New Beginning Pt. 1
A while back, I talked about some dark horse candidates for the final books and/or events of the Silver Age. This week (and perhaps into next), I’ll be shoving aside the likes of Conan the Barbarian #1, Green Lantern/Green Arrow #76 and Jimmy Olsen #133 while I review some candidates for the true springboard into [...]

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Rasetsu vol 1
Since May’s Shojo Beat issue features a sample chapter of Chika Shiomi’s Rasetsu (the sequel or “spin off” to her Yurara, also published by Viz) I thought this would be a good time to talk about the first volume.
