Nice Comic Book Related Moment on Modern Family
I understand that he has had a long career in the entertainment industry, all well before he was writing comics, but I still took a little bit of “comic book pride” when I saw that this week’s episode of Modern Family (which continues to be a pretty funny show) was directed by former Black Panther [...]

Batman & Robin #5 Review
There are times when reading Batman & Robin #5 that I think that the somewhat ugly artwork works because we’re dealing with some ugly people here (physically and mentally) like the Red Hood’s new sidekick, Scarlet or the new big bad villain (in the same vein as Professor Pyg, we get another animal-named villain, Flamingo), [...]
The Boys #35 Review
There’s a particular type of story that keeps popping up in The Boys, and this week’s issue is no exception. Writer Garth Ennis will take an absolutely absurd, bizarre premise that sounds like it is totally played for laughs (and at first, it invariably IS played for laughs) but then commit to that premise so [...]
Crossed #7 Review
It’s really sort of interesting, Garth Ennis has created such a screwed up world with the world of Crossed that when you get an issue as messed up as Crossed #7, I’m sorry, I just can’t care enough for the twists to get to me the same way they did in, say, issue #1. That’s [...]
Astonishing X-Men #31 Review
I did not have a big problem with Ellis’ first Astonishing X-Men arc (besides the way he handled Forge, which was pretty silly at times, my only complaints about Ellis’ first arc were with Simone Bianchi’s art – both the actual art and the fact that we had to wait so long for art that [...]
Planetary #27 Review
Honestly, when I saw that we had two Ellis books, two Ennis books AND a Morrison book this week, I considered doing a bit of a theme week for reviews “Great Writer Week” – but then I saw all the other great writers who had books out today and since I really did not feel [...]
