TORCH #1 (OF 8)

There’s been a lot of ballyhoo around the original Human Torch lately and, although I’m not automatically excited by the…

SUPERMAN WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON #5 (OF 12)

This is indeed a subtle book. So much so that, I’m ashamed to say, I didn’t see quite how layered…

BATMAN BATTLE FOR THE COWL #2 (OF 3)

April 9, 2009 1:01 am Well don't I feel silly now. If that's the case, why was everyone so surprised when it was announced that he was writing this?

BATMAN BATTLE FOR THE COWL #2 (OF 3)

April 8, 2009 7:10 pm Agreed, but this is Daniel's 2nd attempt at the writer's pen -ever-, so... if he did that after a couple dozen issues under his belt, I'd be worried. For now, I give him a little bit of a pass.

ULTIMATE WOLVERINE VS HULK #4 (OF 6)

April 8, 2009 7:09 pm I'm not a great fan of Yu's style. That's all. His storytelling is fine, but I just don't care for the look. Plus, it is a little silly how easily female character's shirts rip open so easily.

iFanboy #115 – Superhero Costumes

April 1, 2009 4:30 am

I like Taskmaster's costume as well, but I prefer the UDON redesign.

And I'm not sure, but I think Rogue has had more costume changes than anyone on the X-Men. Seems that way, at least.

New Comics for 04/01/09 fooled you

March 30, 2009 6:59 pm

Most excited for Flash Rebirth and War of the Kings, the first issue of which was one of the best comics I've read in a long time, up there with Fables #81 and Green Lantern #25.

BQ: Never had one pulled on me, but I have replaced someone's desktop with a wallpaper of their desktop, with icons, and hid the real icons.

New Comics for 03/25/09 is Partial to Fall

March 24, 2009 4:41 am

Large week. Seems like Marvel always puts out my favorites on the same day. Most often with Herc and Nova.

BQ: Winter!

WOLVERINE #71

March 18, 2009 7:29 pm Good observation on the Skull. I thought that statue was him, but because of the perspective and color, wasn't positive.

March 16, 2009 8:18 pm

...any movie that starts with Steve Martin narrating: "I was born a poor black child."

Automatic win!

10 pulls for me. Funny how that's a "quiet" week.

As for my Jerk... uh, The Jerk. Steve Martin, baby!

Hulk, Vol. 1 by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness: A Review

March 12, 2009 9:05 pm

I'm sure someone might have already pointed this out, but what the hell.

The Crank comparison is nice, and would be perfectly apt if not for one consideration: Crank created its own characters. Rulk uses established characters who fans know to act a certain way and have certain parameters, and I think that's where the outrage comes from.
