As always, here are the rules to these posts.
After a week off, we return with … an anthology series. Oh dear. In theory, I like anthologies. Occasionally, in practice they’re a bit tough to pull off. Which will this be?!?!? Continue Reading »

The rules. Yes, I link to them every week. But you never who’s new!
This week the randomness of the exercise brings us the second straight Kurt Busiek comic book. But I very much doubt if you will guess which one it is … Continue Reading »

I should point out the rules for these posts. I don’t think I’ve ever done it before!
I still yearn for a good comic to read for these posts. This week, I get my wish!  It’s a Festivus miracle! After the past few weeks, it’s a welcome change. Continue Reading »

Yes, I’m back with the rules for these posts. I figure there might be someone who doesn’t know them!
Well, I wished for a good comic this weekend. I didn’t get it, sadly. Stinkin’ muties. Does anyone ever wish Bastion had succeeded in his diabolical plan? Continue Reading »

Ground rules, as usual.
Today’s entry features a rather obscure comic with some very early work by one of Cronin’s favorite comics professional! Who could it be? Read on … below the fold! Continue Reading »

So the rules of these posts are here. You know the drill!
Today’s selection is weird. It is written by perhaps the greatest comic book writer ever, but if a first-time comic book reader read it, they might be turned off of the medium. What could it be? Read on … Continue Reading »

I’m putting the ground rules for these posts first today. That’s just how I roll!Â
Today’s issue is Part 6 of 6 (or, as the splash page pretentiously calls it, Part VI). Where’s my trade paperback? Shouldn’t this be perfect fodder for that???? Continue Reading »

Today’s entry fulfills almost all the requirements that are needed to hook a new reader. Or maybe I’m just prejudiced because I liked it. We shall see!

This week’s selection is not bad, actually. It’s not great, but it does a good job telling a story and getting us all up to speed. What more can we ask for?
I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out what I’m doing in these posts. So if you’re new, read away!
I’d also be remiss if I didn’t point out that you can still enter my contest! You have until Sunday at midnight! I’ve gotten some very good entries, but anyone still has a chance to win. Why couldn’t it be you?
Moving on … Continue Reading »
