Dusting Off : Batman #619 (November 2003)

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Every Wednesday we take turns to delve into our trusty longboxes, pluck out a dusty back issue, and give you our thoughts. We’ll also try and place it in the context of the time it was originally published.
We’ve taken our fair share of pops at Jeph Loeb of late – it’s not something we’d [...]

Jeph Loeb Day: Ultimates v3 #4 & Hulk #4

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Greetings, Earthling readers. I am What-oh! The Comics Daily Watcher. Once in a while, a comic comes along so horrible that it gives everyone who reads it a stomach ulcer. Titans #1, for instance.

The Sunday Pages #15

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

The weekly news-commentary piece returns after a 2-week, Bristol-motivated absence to discuss the industry’s latest developments, with a look at James Robinson and Geoff Johns’ Superman, Jim Mahfood’s latest announcement, some stuff about the book we all love to hate, Ultimates, and links to a couple of columns about the tenuous relationship between comics and [...]

The Sunday Pages #5

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Ed Brubaker’s latest Criminal TPB - Lawless - gets looked at by James, there’s some scary news about the future of Buffy Season 8, a tip about one of comics’ up-and-coming artist offering cut-price commissions, some speculation about just what’s going on with the GL Corps’ new rivals and a little more about Morrison’s Batman.

Hulk #2

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Okay, just so we’re clear - this blog isn’t going to turn into some kind of anti-Loeb forum - god knows I’d rather be reading good comics than reviewing his bad ones - but it’s also not my fault that Hulk #2 and Ultimates #3 came out the same week.  It IS my fault that I gave his Hulk run a [...]
