Comic of the week

Phonogram 2 #1: The Singles Club.

50 Things I like about comics.

Based on the Savage Critics post, that I found today while writing one of the three ten page papers I have to do for finals for grad school. I decided this would be a nice break.

Comics I liked from Nov. 19.

I bought quite a bit from the last week but there are only a few things that I’ve managed to narrow it all down with. 
Grant Morrison’s Doctor Who #1: I had a bit of a hard time trying to find the first issue, after getting the second, and was pleasantly surprised to find it during [...]

Smith Magazine’s Next Door Neighbor.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’ve been really enjoying the web-comic series Dean Haspiel (artist of Jonathan Ames’ The Alcoholic  and Harvey Pekar’s The Quitter) has been editing over at Smith Magazine, titled Next Door Neighbor.  The stories are basically short slice-of-life pieces by the creators themselves involving their neighbors.  Some of the stories highlight talents such as Jonathan Ames and Nick Bertozzi, and [...]

What’s going to happen in the conclusion to Batman: RIP?

I have no idea, but Graeme McMillan has a compelling idea:
 
that’s a little too easy, according to a rumor that’s going around the internets. That rumor says that, although Jet is part of the bad guys, she’s not thebad guy – because that’s Robin, the Boy Wonder.

As ridiculous as it sounds, there are a couple of [...]

Bought today.

If you wanted more of the Heath Ledger-Joker, this is it. Kevin Church has a good review of it.

Comics for 10.22.08

So, J.G. Jones is not finishing the art on what is hopefully the final crisis DC ever does.  I mean, that’s sad and all, because he rocks, but at least he has the awesome help of Doug Mahnke and Carlos Pacheco so its not so bad.  I guess this just goes back to the idea [...]

Comics for 10.15.08

There is a street vendor in my neighborhood named Chino, who sells comics.  I see him whenever I get off the subway at 86th street surrounded by his friends all talking about who would win in a fight, but none of that normal arcane bullshit “Who would win a fight: Superman vs Batman,” more like “Gorilla [...]

Comics for 10.10.08

No panel of the week for this week.  I just didn’t find anything I liked.
This week, I’m looking forward to Rick Remender’s latest installment of the End League, especially with new artist Eric Canette.  Canette’s style adds a kind of John Paul Leon effect  to the series that I feel like would make for a [...]

Comics for the first week of October.

A new feature I’m going to be doing here is the Panel of the Week.  Last week, while exploring Staples, I picked up a scanner/copier/printer all purpose awesome machine, the HP Deskjet F4280, for a grand total of eighty bucks. I simply couldn’t say no to that price.  So, with my new toy I’ll be [...]
