The last two weeks have felt like two years, and it looks like the comics internet is going through a dry spell. Let's throw some pity lovin' at it this week and hope it picks up its game in the future, shall we?
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What was the best last issue you ever read? [...]
Randomer Thoughts: Micro Reviews!
- by Brad Curran
- Thursday, September 17th, 2009 at 2:02 PM EST
Yeah, this randomer thoughts thing is my shtick. See how long it lasts before I get bored (or Nevett internet sues me for ripping him off (even if I did the random thoughts thing here first)(first!!!!)).
Box of Comics: August 2009

- Monday, September 7th, 2009 at 7:50 PM EST
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 printed! [...]
Box of Comics: July 2009

- Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at 12:51 PM EST
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 [...]

Crushed to death by the San Diego Comicon coverage? No worries. Shuffle your zombified remains below the fold and enjoy some links to the really important bits in the comics internet.
A Fortnight's Worth Of Reviews
- by Brad Curran
- Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 at 10:12 PM EST
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 sticking [...]
A Whole Mess Of Single Issue Comic Reviews You Don't Need

At least I'm honest. Also, they're in handy thematic sections. Kids love that, don't they?
I'd Go To This If I Wasn't A Shut In: Grant Morrison Signing At Meltdown
- by Brad Curran
- Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 1:50 PM EST
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 [...]

3. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
4. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon
5. James Robinson and Paul Smith (Which gives me a shot to beg them to do more Leave It To Chance. Please guys! My future kids might [...]
I Just Found This Out- Morrison Returns To Batman! With Quitely! In A New Series!
- by Brad Curran
- Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 at 9:50 PM EST
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 Crisis. [...]
The Many (Thousand) Deaths Of Batman
- by Brad Curran
- Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 at 8:45 PM EST
From Douglas Wolk's excellent review of Batman #686:
Where Batman ends--the only way Batman ends--is where you stop reading Batman, which is how Batman has actually had hundreds of thousands of endings: dissatisfaction or boredom, walking out of the theater (past a dark alley?), cutting losses and wondering if it would've gotten better again.
So, how many [...]
The One Thing I Got From Final Crisis: A Spinoff Series I'd Like To See
- by Brad Curran
- Saturday, January 31st, 2009 at 3:22 PM EST
I enjoyed the climax of Final Crisis, and the series as a whole, even if I can't articulate why, really. Certainly not in the way that the Savage Critic crew have (or even in the way that Jeff Lester articulated why he mostly didn't, while throwing in some insight of Watchmen to boot).
I mean, [...]
Top 10 Nouns I Enjoyed In Comics This Year

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.
