JUSTICE LEAGUE #33 DC COMICS Holy Cow, Enter the UltraMonitor! Oh wait, I don’t really care. While I am thrilled to see the return of the Justice Society and Kamandi, I am totally over milking this thing for the entirity of the Year of the Villian! At this point we are throwing in every … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of September 18, 2019
FLASH FORWARD #1 DC COMICS Wow! Vindication for Wally West already? I still haven’t gotten over the collassal waste of time Heroes In Crisis. Issue 1 is not off to a good start as we get page after page of Wally’s pity party and that someone will grant him a sweet release from life. … Read more Doc’s Reviews For The Week of 09/11/19WONDER TWINS #7 DC COMICS Once again the talented team of Mark Russell and Stephen Byrne give us a tale riddled with life lesson but never-the-less entertaining. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman’s dialog is hilarious and the Twins’s attitudes are spot-on. With Zan being the cocky one and Jayna being the one who actually … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 9/3/19
DOOMSDAY CLOCK #11 DC COMICS As the mini-series winds down, I’m amazed at what is missing. The hints and shadowy promises of the return of the JSA, the Legion, etc. didn’t really materialized. We got Johnny Thunder and Saturn Girl sure and some snippits but nothing concrete. Delay ridden and somewhat confussing, what this … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 8/28/19
FLASH #77 DC COMICS Well, it’s official DC has official ticked me off. It’s bad enough that we had to water down the Speed Force with a series of other forces that really have no place in a title called the Flash about a speedster. Didn’t we learn anything from taking away the … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of August 21st
PRETTY VIOLENT #1 IMAGE COMICS Holy Cr*p! I think I have a new favorite 2019 book! Who would have thought that Image Comics would have this little bizarre title on the stands. And just for the record, the subtitle “with lots of swears” doesn’t do it justice. Derek Hunter & Jason Young’s story of … Read more Recommended Reads by Alex S.
Working in a comic store was something I always thought required a vast amount of knowledge. We all know Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, constantly spewing facts and information. Getting into comics so late in life, most of my knowledge came from tv, movies, or my own research. The only comics I had really … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 08/14/19
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #27 MARVEL COMICS What Nick Spencer and Kev Walker have created here if a perfect issue of the 1970’s Marvel Team Up title! The humor here is well placed and the potential of the all girl group of the Sinister Six has endless possibilities. Electro’s admissions are magnificent and you can’t … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of August 7, 2019
JUSTICE LEAGUE #29 DC COMICS THUD! THUD! THUD! That is the sound of a long time comic fan hitting his head on the desk after reading #29. There was a time when DC’s innocent multiverse was willing to accept a space-faring giant starfish who made mind controlling clones that ridiculously stuck to your … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of July 31, 2019
RICK AND MORTY #52 ONI PRESS In a classic rendition of a televised episode, Marty is left on his own without Rick. This is a wonderful look at the character of Morty and what makes him tick. Not having to take a backseat to Rick, Morty actually does all right for himself. On … Read more |
