Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines, Day 40: Flex Mentallo #1
Every day this month, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. This month I will be doing theme weeks, with each week devoted to a single artist. This week: Frank Quitely! Today’s page is from Flex Mentallo #1, which was published by DC/Vertigo and is cover dated June 1996. Enjoy!

Taking no chances: Mainstream superhero comics need a kick in the butt
I spend a lot of time coming up with provocative titles for my posts, you know! How’s that one?
Sunday Brunch: 8/15/10
Your weekly smorgasbord of comics internet things. And a TV review, because I can. WATCH THIS SPACE for reviews of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Motion Picture and The Expendables.
Sunday Brunch: 4/11/10
This week, I share some links to cool comic things and ramble on for far too long about Doctor Who. So, you know, an average Sunday. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What emotion-that-is-not-really-an-emotion should become a power ring next, and what color would it be?
Comics You Should Own – JLA #1-41 + various tie-in comics
Hot damn, I love these comics! And, as it’s the God of All Comics’ fiftieth birthday today, it’s a good time to discuss them (even if it was completely coincidental)!
Comics You Should Own flashback – The Authority #22-29
Here’s another olde-tyme Comics You Should Own post, from back in 2005. It’s the last one I posted at the old blog!
Box of Comics: August 2009
How hopelessly late am I this time? Not too much, I hope. (Place your bets on how many semi-colons I use in this post!) At least I review some stuff that I haven’t seen reviewed much around the internets. Well, aside from that one comic. You know the one. Inside: The most awesome comic ever [...]
Box of Comics: July 2009
You’ve read the best, now read the rest! The internet’s most belated comic reviews are back! Thrill to my extended verbiage on fine comics periodicals such as Atomic Robo, Batman & Robin, the Captain Britain finale, two flavors of Doctor Who, the Metalocalypse/Goon crossover, and the first Spider-Man comic I’ve bought in ten years! I [...]
A Fortnight’s Worth Of Reviews

Two weeks worth of comics that are better than what Megan Fox reads. I think I’ll go to San Diego and shove them in her face whilst laughing at her inferior taste, making her cry in a pile of money and rich guys as a result. Oh yeah, I should probably tease the reviews. I’m [...]

They want good questions for the Q&A, though, so maybe I wouldn’t. It’s on July 1st, same days as Batman and Robin #2 comes out. Clive Barker will chant with Grant before the signing, which will only be of the FC hardcover and Batman and Robin #1 and 2. While you can’t rub Morrison’s face [...]

I Just Found This Out- Morrison Returns To Batman! With Quitely! In A New Series!
- by Brad Curran

The mother ship and IGN both have info. IGN has the first cover. It sounds like it’s part of Batman’s “new direction.” I’d prefer an All-Star style approach to continuity. And to be totally honest, I’d prefer a creator owned (or at least non-superhero) work out of these two, especially after RIP and (especially) Final [...]

It’s still 2008 in my time zone, so I might as well fulfill my duty as the straggler around here and toss in my contribution to the year end retrospectives.
