Who needs Scarlet?
When you have Scarlet Crush? And Rob Liefeld variant covers? I’ve been on the disabled list, but it’s time 2 shine. The recent Scarlet series by Bendis and Maleev has been awesome. This week I’ll be going over some of my favorites of 2011 and hoping for some reader interaction on what I should check [...]
Not so Maximum.
Disclaimer – I have a huge collection of trade paperbacks / graphic novels / whatever you want to call them. This includes some great, some good, and some very bad. I was recently traveling and there’s no better time to plug your headphones in, pull out a trade and re-read then on a plane. Talk [...]
Great Rhino, Garbage Mysterio.
Spider-Man is magical, I think most comic fans will agree. The formula was simple, and executed perfectly from the start – a simple everyman with a moral compass with just enough pratfalls and tragedy… voila. Amazing. But as such simple formulas tend, the dust of the years has occasionally not been so friendly to Peter [...]
A tale of two Bagley pages…
Two original art pieces here from Mark Bagley, the Cal Ripken of mainstream comics. An artist who’s style is and always has been very smooth, clean, and detailed without needing too much in the way of superfluous line work. He’s evolved a little bit over the years, but he’s got a trademark style that is [...]
Warren Ellis, Excalibur
Been doing what I can to catch up on some comic reading, especially with a couple of stressful weeks under my belt at work and dealing with car problems. One of the books I got to was this, the first collection of Excalibur written by Warren Ellis. What’s interesting is how much of the Excalibur [...]
Powerloss…
The Avengers have been top dog for a while now, but sometimes amongst the mayhem, confusion, and nausea of the massive crossovers the good books have been getting lost in the shuffle. Enough, I say Marvel, enough. New Avengers has long been standing on it’s own as the best mainstream comic, but too much in [...]
Soft but Defined.
It’s not an easy thing to describe illustration all the time. Sometimes the answers scream out at you, and others you have to really search for what you’re seeing. Terry Dodson is the weird example where both statements above are true. His style has both a very soft effect as well as being very smooth [...]
Car Problems got you down?
Well I know they’ve got me down. Brought my truck in to get some routine brake work taken care of (nothing crazy – brakes weren’t even squeaking…) and next thing you know the job goes bad and I’m back to the auto shop three days in a row. If you’re feeling this like me, shout [...]
Interesting concepts aren’t always well executed…
No idea when this shirt came out. The print would suggest it’s a more modern design, but the whole style… no clue. Well, here you go. Either the best or the wort Flash shirt ever. I almost feel like someone had a poorly tie-dyed blue shirt, and some blazed out design dude with way too [...]
