What I bought – 9 June 2010
That woman was the closest thing to himself Achilles had ever come across. But he didn’t find out until a moment after he had killed her. She was hostile, and dead: everything Achilles loved in a woman. (Roberto Calasso, from The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony)
Captain America #606 Review
The Heroic Age begins for Captain America with this splendid opening issue featuring the return of Baron Zemo to the pages of Captain America (it’s been nearly 250 issues since Cap has fought Zemo in the pages of Cap, I believe). Writer Ed Brubaker gives us an interesting take on Baron Zemo, especially in relation [...]
Fun With Indicias

Obviously, the indicias on comics don’t get a whole lot of attention. Like me and my Year of Cool Comics openings, they just cut and paste them from issue to issue and just change the name and issue number. However, because of that, sometimes you can find some funny ones, like the indicia to SHIELD [...]
SHIELD #2 Review
After a terrific first issue, Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver somehow managed to IMPROVE with this second issue of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
A review a day: Jane’s World volume 1
All right, so this is a few years old, but what the hell, right? It’s new to me!
Batman #700 Review
Anniversary issues (at least the ones ending in double zeroes) tend to be a bit of a crap shoot, quality-wise. Luckily, this week’s Batman #700 is a good one.

A review a day: Illuminations: Eve Unleashed
I received this in the mail not too long ago. It’s … unusual, to say the least!
Committed: Destroying Recommendations
Recommendations are tricky. It takes a lot of skill to intuit what a person will enjoy, what certain je ne sais quoi will pique another person’s interest. Last week, I spent time reading comic books which had come highly recommended as books that I would specifically enjoy. Unfortunately none of them hit the mark, and [...]

Okay, so when I finished reading the Bendis/Maleev Daredevil run a little over four years ago, I decided to put together a timeline showing how Bendis went back and forth in time (the original post was from February 2006, if you want to search the archives on the old blog, but why would you want [...]
