Hoods, escape artists, Spider-Man, Dan Clowes, and one mouthy dragon; I read a lot of comics this week and want to review them!

Under the fold, I’ll impugn the good name of a blogger infinitely more popular and entertaining than I am, actually review a comic that Burgas already talked about, and try to class up the joint with a review of a comics lit master while still doing my usual superficial take on things! That’s pretty much […]
Die, Marvel Zombies, die! Er, again.

The Marvel Zombies: Dead Days Hardcover is out today. That gives me a perfect time to pull a Burgas and rage blindly about how sick I am of seeing them everywhere!

Two of my favorite comics came out this week and I wan to talk about them! Them, and some thing with Skrulls.
Comics About Lesbian Vigilantes With Convoluted Titles Should Be Good: Crime Bible- Five Lessons of Blood
- by Brad Curran

My latest E-Bay haul had a Dan Clowes classic and Grant Morrison Vertigo mini in it. So, of course, I tore in to the 52 tie in first.
Brief Reviews of This Week’s Singles

I thought I’d take a stab at this timeliness thing, especially because the stars alligned and I got to cover pretty much all of my favorite single issue comics this week.
Extremely Brief Reviews Of Massive Hardcovers

- Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 4:53 PM EST
Because brevity is the soul of wit and, this way, there’s less of a chance that there will be a terrible proofreading error on my part. Also, keep in mind that I will most likely completely ignore my own rules and talk up a storm here. Like right now, for instance. Before I really undermine […]
I like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but I’m not married to it.

Am I far enough behind the zeitgeist on this that I can bring a fresh set of eyes to it, or am I just digging up a horse’s corpse for a squash match?
Just So You Know–

“Like a washing machine full of angry pumas” is the best simile in human history. Have no idea what I’m talking about? Then you obviously haven’t seen this or any of the other hilarious entries in to Chris Sims’ Awesomeversary 30 Second Recap Contest. You should do something about that, if that’s the case. If not, […]
An Interesting Press Release From Boom! Studios
- by Brad Curran
- Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 9:16 PM EST
I don’t usually repost press releases I’m sent because I blog here because I don’t want the blog to be a clearinghouse for whatever hype publishers feel like e-mailing me (and the rest of the contributors here), and I assume Cronin and the rest of the guys around here agree.
However, this one’s different, as you can […]
Strange Detective Tales: Dead Love- The Goon meets Sin City, but better!
- by Brad Curran
- Saturday, December 1st, 2007 at 4:29 PM EST
I fully expect that to be a pull quote if there’s ever a trade of this, by the way. So, before I realize how odd it is for me to be reviewing an indie/small press comic that isn’t by a Canadian who enjoys video game references and freak out, lets get down to it.
Reviews of Hitmen, Iron Fists, and the Superheroes they hangout with

Eschewing parody for the time being, how about some reviews instead?
DC reveals the complete demographics on the people still buying Countdown (Parody)

It’s– pretty much exactly who you’d expect. With some exceptions. So, it’s still worth reading possibly. Definitely maybe!
Top 5 Video Games that Should Be Adapted to Comics Form
- by Brad Curran
- Sunday, October 28th, 2007 at 4:13 PM EST
Heck, why not just count this as an official extra Top Five entry? - BC Cronin shouldn’t have all the fun, should he? Besides, this will both annoy Burgas and allow me to combine two of my favorite social life killing pursuits in a nerdtastic chocolate/peanut butter esque fusion.
What Is This, Anyway, Screw Steve Gerber Week?
- by Brad Curran
- Saturday, October 6th, 2007 at 9:23 PM EST
Given the fact that their scheduling problems have become Paul O’Brien’s new white whale (well, other than ADD and the Comics Journal’s love of basoon solos, I guess), I doubt that this is intentional, but still; it is odd to see two new series featuring Steve Gerber’s most personal creations coming out in the same […]
I can’t stop reviewing things! More trades from E-Bay and maybe a movie, why not?
- by Brad Curran

Courteousy of Wayne Quackenbush, Rhode Island’s finest purveyor of discount trade paperbacks, are more cheap collected comics I’ve deemed fit to review for the whole internerd’s benefit. This time, it’s a couple of oddball miniseries. I’d call them Oddball Comics, but I don’t have an exclamation point at the end of my name. As an […]
