April 24, 2012 8:57 pm This has been F-ing gorgeous with a capital F. This King Conan stuff by Giorello and Truman has been really top notch.

March 24, 2012 8:33 am Wow. Some jaw dropping art in this one. The story is way decompressed but the art makes it work.

March 19, 2012 4:44 pm What I have liked about it is all the twists and turns. It was impossible to predict exactly how issue was going to unfold, in a tedious and boring manner, just by the cover images. Impossible.

March 6, 2012 5:52 pm I would agree that Land seems to have improved a bit or Gillen has learned how to use him or something. But faces are still a serious issue. Work on your faces, Greg. Especially your creepy porn woman face. As far as I can tell, he just does the one female face. If two female characters have the same hair and are out of costume... well... good luck telling Dazzler from Emma from a Cuckoo from Illyana. If you would just work on this one thing, Greg, I promise to give you much future slack.

March 6, 2012 5:45 pm Got sold on the Vertigo 4-pack by DCBS, so giving it a shot. I tried Fables once before and it didn't stick, but maybe this spin-off will be the trick.

March 5, 2012 3:59 pm The girl was just a bit too young. Not that I have any illusions about how young abuse happens, but too young for the other things that supposedly happened to her. If she had been 2 years older I would have had an easier time with belief. Still ranked it 5 stars though...

February 27, 2012 5:53 pm Oh lord, I'm sorry. It was me. What I meant to say was give the Spider-man character more space, you know, more room to develop. Not just jump from one high energy hijink to the next. I guess either I had a typo or they read it wrong. Again, I am sorry.

February 27, 2012 5:51 pm Sam Kieth? How much does Sam Kieth do? Will Noman battle the Maxx?

February 27, 2012 5:49 pm This initial storyline has felt fairly shallow. Just an introduction to all the characters with the tepid theme of "Teams can be stronger than any individual -- no matter how super -- if they pull together." I think it works fine for an intro. Some of the interpersonal interactions, while not developed much, were fun and interesting. The action was high and most the characters got a moment. With all its flaws, it read better than any Justice League I have read for some time. If Geoff can now show us something new and maybe dig into some interesting themes this could get even better.

February 27, 2012 5:42 pm I had no problem with Bobillo except for a few storytelling hiccups. It looked juvenile but was about the kids. On a similar note I am not sure I keep following this once it tries to makes its own way from the War of the Four Cities plotline... But then Hickman throws in stuff like the Power Pack. The Power Pack! The 13-year old in me is really jazzed.
