Eclecticism – Pretty sure I break the Australian doubt every time I mow, because it’s guaranteed to rain within 48 hours of my getting the blades green. Eclectic Purchase – Shadowland #5 and Daredevil #512 doublebill – All I can say is, it’ll be over. It’s sad to think that with such glee about a [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, over on CBR, and more specifically the Comics Should Be Good blog, they are running a Top 100 countdown of favourite writers and artists. I took my time, deliberated internally, and came up with my two lists. It was a tough one, and I’m sure I’ve missed someone; and I’m equally [...]

I have read The Walking Dead for years now. I’ve been a trade reader since my eldest brother bought me the first trade as a present many moons ago. I’ve stanchly followed the trades ever since, not the hardcovers or compendiums, just the trades and I get them the week they ship and I read [...]

I have to admit, Fantastic Four is on notice, I want to be impressed toot suite or else I’m subbing in something else for my dollars. It helps that this issue did a fair job of building that rainbow connection back. To find out more you’ll have to hit the link below: Fantastic Four #585 [...]

Vampirella. It’s not a comic I’d normally clamour for but I got a preview so thought I’d give it a stab. It’s a character who is so unbelievably iconic, and comes with such baggage, but I could not name a single story she’s ever been party to. I didn’t mind this issue, not terrible, not [...]

Eclecticism – Last week was a great week for comics. Enthusiasm is back and it’s high. Eclectic Purchase – Black Widow #8 – I really want Swierczynski to stick the landing on this one. The opener was fantastic, the middle act not too shabby, I want a solid finale. Eclecticism – I just now don’t [...]

This mini has been a real stinker, I won’t lie. Characterisation like someone took a bunch of crazies and locked them up with some cows to mate and then poorly wrote about the offspring. I just haven’t been digging the story, anything about it really, but then this issue floored me. It’s all about Hughie [...]

This series has been a lot of fun. It’s Shakespearean characters all lumped in together and it’s a great concept, but it’s always felt like a 3.5 – 4 star comic. And then this issue dropped. The writing is good, the character moments are great, and the way it is all drawn is absolutely superb. [...]
