Review: Astonishing X-Men #25

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Astonishing X-Men #25 might be the twenty-fifth issue of this series (twenty-sixth if you could the Giant-Size issue), but for all practical purposes, it might as well be the first. This issue serves as a fresh introduction to largely the same cast we've been reading about previously -- though ...

Warren Ellis Wins. We Should All Just Quit: Freakangels

Friday, May 30th, 2008

What have I been doing instead of maintaining this blog? Well, on Fridays I read Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield's ABSOLUTELY FREE and absolutely stunning Freakangels webcomic.6 pages a week. For free. And for their generosity, you should pay to get the inky, papery collection when it comes out. Poke around, ...

My God, Has It Been That Long?

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Just got done posting a quick comment on Warren Ellis' Fell on his newish message board (replacing the near-utopian-in-comic-related-boards Engine) and realized it would have been even better posted on my very own cybermegaphone. Enjoy, ye who've waited these months for new content. I'm starting to appreciate the structure and presentation ...

Friday Night Fights: Sucka Punch! Round 4

Friday, October 19th, 2007

In this corner, John Stone. He has the Devil's Paw. And in this corner, our champion, Jakita Wagner. She is fond of hitting people in the brains until they stop fighting. DING! It's like Bahlactus always says, "Don't bring a Devil's Paw to a Bad-ass in Leather fight." _____________________________________ Planetary 25, by Warren Ellis and ...

Warren Ellis Wins. We Should All Just Quit: Nextwave #12

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

2nd in a series: Here's a panel from Nextwave #12, in which we meet Baby M.O.D.O.K. (M.O.T.O.T.?). Monica Rambeau's a little skeptical of the deadly nippper's lineage, but gets the birds, bees, flowers, trees, microchips and motherboards talk she's been begging for since she dropped the "Photon" moniker... I tried to tell ...

How Do You Take Your X-Men? Unsettling or Astonishing?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

There was a metric ton of announcements coming from San Diego this weekend. Chances are if you're into comics, you've seen them all over Newsarama and everywhere else, so I'm not about to recap or deliver much opinion on any of those press releases. Except one[1]. To the delight of many, Warren ...

5 Red Bulls and I Can See Through Time.

Friday, July 13th, 2007

I’m not sure people actually like energy drinks (I’d swear Red Bull’s aftertaste is sweetened uranium), but people sure do seem to need them. I’m not too proud to admit that I’ve leaned on a Red Bull here and a Rockstar there to ensure that I’m awake to hear inspiration ...
