My comic book shoppe – Ralph’s Comic Corner
As you all know, I was in Southern California last week with my lovely family visiting Disneyland. But I couldn’t spend every day at the Happiest Place on Earth, as that might drive me completely insane! So on Wednesday, 3 June, I visited a comic book store. I can’t escape even when on vacation!
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Romancing the Stars
In the early 50s, Hollywood came to comic books. Prior to that, we’d seen some movie adaptations and a few licensed properties, but things really exploded around 1950. I get the feeling that glancing at the Romance section of the local comic book stand would have been a lot like what we see at supermarket [...]

Insane because I wonder why the Big Two can’t make comics like this for “adults.” It’s not that hard, people!
An Awful Ending to a Good Series

I know that Brian Michael Bendis likely does not look at Ultimate Spider-Man #133 as the actual “last” issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, as he does have the two-part “Requiem” mini-series to follow. In addition, since the book is relaunching soon, he might also not see the end of Volume 1 as an ending at all. [...]

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Hey, Class President! vol 2
Hey, Class President! vol 2, Kaori Monchi, is a bit of a surprise in that it doesn’t really break through any of the expected yaoi cliches (high school boys, smaller and not so bright uke, cool and controlled seme, sex that doesn’t further the plot, creepy stalker guy), yet I still found it an engrossing [...]

Instead of reviewing the books I bought this week, as it’s Sunday and I just got them today, I thought I’d play a game with y’all. Dig in!
