Daredevil, Batwoman, and Moon Knight are the top new comic books that I’ve been recommending to new readers lately. People who haven’t read comic books in years are looking to get back into reading them, and while they want something they can jump into without any continuity problems, they aren’t exactly looking for a paint-by-numbers either.
Sunday Brunch: 12/26/10
Below the fold: presents left under the tree, stocking stuffer stuff, aired grievances, and other secular, nondenominational metaphors for stuff I found on the comics internet.
Committed: SDCC 2010 (2 of 2) – Cosplay, Muppets & Parties
Last week I wrote about the last few hours at Comic-Con International, and how much artistic love got packed into those last precious hours in San Diego.

It’s a retrospective not just on Waid’s career but his life in comics, starting with the first one he ever read, detailing how he went from writing about comics for Amazing Heroes to becoming a superstar writer in his own right.

What I find most interesting about this (beyond the fact that there’s an Italian FBCD) is that they’re including it in an anthology with Hero Squared, Caped, and Planetary Brigade in Italy, which I’d totally buy if they published it over here. Well, and if [...]

This’ll pretty much be it for the reviews from me this week. Maybe. I think I’ve clogged up the basepaths enough. Before I relenquish the floor to Burgas, I have a few more comics I want to talk about.

Mark, I’ve really enjoyed your work on ASM. I plan on picking up the next part of this story, and anything else you do on the title. That said, I totally did not need to see that last panel. Although it certainly gets over the idea that you’re evil for anyone who missed the Irredeemable [...]

Probably not. I’m going to talk about Ennis’s Punisher: War Zone, Detective Comics #853, Irredeemable #1, some relaunches Marvel has the temerity/balls to slap a $4 price tag on, and whatever else I’ve read lately that I feel like writing about anyway. Well, except for The Chronicles of Solomon Stone #1, whose greatness really should [...]
