Light Week? Try BLOODSTRIKE #1, ATOMIC ROBO PRESENTS… REAL SCIENCE ADVENTURES #1, & SECRET AVENGERS HC
March 27, 2012 11:25 am I was sold on the Extreme line relaunch, but after seeing previews for Bloodstrike, I'm a bit torn. The action looks fun and the panel layouts chaotic, but the purple whatever-it-is around his eyes look ridiculous, mostly because they're freakin' PURPLE!!! Maybe I can overcome this. It is Seeley and Gaston's art does look great. That dude just looks silly with that make-up.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS VOL. 2 #5 (OF 6)
March 27, 2012 10:22 am I actually didn't care for Mike Choi's art here, probably because of the coloring. It's not bad, but it definitely doesn't equal his Marvel work, which is a problem I see over and over again, namely, Marvel artists going to DC, but producing work of less quality. This may be because their style doesn't vibe with the universe, which I think explains Bagley's work on Justice League. Or maybe Marvel brings out the best in people. And I say this as a DC guy.

Book of the Month – Wally Wood’s EC Stories Artist’s Edition
March 20, 2012 10:02 am Conor, I'm curious how you, and others who may have this wonderful book, actually read this? I have to seat it up on my sofa and bring a chair up to read it, which isn't very comfortable. But it's so worth it. I bought it for the art, but the stories are pretty good, too, at least the ones I've read.

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Catwoman #7
March 16, 2012 11:45 am This book has a blast, but a large part of the reason why has been the fantastic art of Guillem March. Looking at this preview, I can already see this book is going to hurt without him. It's just not as vibrant and frenetic. I hope he comes back soon.
