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? [...]

"When Impulse Buys Get Out Of Control" Comics Review (With Spider-Man Supplemental!)

  • by Brad Curran
  • Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 at 2:16 PM EST

Or, see how Brad turned a "one comic in the pull box" week in to a bunch of crap to review, including more Spider-Man comics in one week than is healthy. Or, how's he's slowly becoming Burgas with less genre indie taste.

That's right Nevett, I'm upping the ante! By slinging together a bunch of semi coherent musings on my trip to the LCS before I pass out from exhaustion! Get bowel quakingly terrified!

  • 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! [...]

Sometimes, the English Language Is Simply Inadequate

  • by Brad Curran
  • Monday, June 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 AM EST

Although, really, I'm not sure if there is a language that could adequately describe how awesome this is. Maybe whatever it is that Dusty Rhodes speaks could come close, if he threw in some Esperanto and Klingon. That could possibly express the magnitude of what's going on there, maybe.

The Mona Lisa Can Officially Suck It

  • by Brad Curran
  • Monday, April 27th, 2009 at 1:38 PM EST

We have a new most inconic image in art. Unsurprisingly, it's Solomon Stone giving Hitler a spinning backfist so powerful it fills the rest of the page with yellow, which is the universal symbol of residual awesome energy. It's so awesome I can't upload it directly, and can only link to it; our servers just [...]

Some Comments On Wolverine Saga (And Some Actual Wolverine Comics, Too)

  • by Brad Curran
  • Monday, March 30th, 2009 at 10:34 PM EST

You can't really review a plot synopsis with photoshopped panels from old comics distributed to comic shops for free, in order to inform people about Wolverine's convoluted history (and possibly scare them off of ever reading another coming again), because there's a new movie coming out. Especially when you skimmed the damn thing.
That said, I'm [...]

Cracked Shows How The Watchmen Movie Could Have Been Worse

  • by Brad Curran
  • Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 at 10:49 AM EST

Well, that's the idea, at least. To be honest, some of the things in this are better than anything in the movie or the book. Like this:
DR. MANHATTAN grapples with THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, the pair of them rolling outside where they grow to titanic size, striding across the Antarctic landscape, exchanging helicopter kicks and [...]

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 [...]
