Genius. Brilliance. Feynman.
Feynman By Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick First Second I love it. But I knew I would. I have Feynman’s books on my shelf, Feynman biographys alongside those. All a Feynman graphic novel biography had to do to make it great in my eyes was to simple tell Feynman’s story, capturing all the genius, the [...]
Continue reading...DC The New 52 – Swamp Thing and O.M.A.C. number 2s….
8. October 2011
O.M.A.C. #2 By Dan Didio, Keith Giffen Oh, this is so much fun, so much doing everything right. It’s just a shame that it’s the poorest performing of all the new 52. Maybe Didio, as publisher, will extend it a stay of execution, or possibly, more likely, he’ll have to fall under the wheels of his [...]

8. October 2011
Action Comics #2 By Grant Morrison and Brent Anderson So Lex Luthor on this new DC world is just as driven, just as ruthless as he’s always been, just this time round it’s back to square one, with Luthor having to brutally torture the young, jeans clad Superman for information. But who, or what is [...]
Continue reading...Secret Avengers 17 – Ellis, Walker. Not so good. Not Walker’s fault.
8. October 2011
Secret Avengers #17 By Warren Ellis and Kev Walker Marvel I looked at Secret Avengers 16 for a few reasons ….. because it was in the middle of the new DC 52 and I felt guilty, because it looked like a standalone series with short, self-contained, relatively continuity free stories, because it had a great [...]
Continue reading...Super Animal Adventure Squad – younger readers comedy from the DFC
7. October 2011
Super Animal Adventure Squad By James Turner The DFC Library The concept’s simple in Super Animal Adventure Squad – take five very inept super-agents; Agent K, Bearbot, Irwin, Rex, and Beesley and throw them into an adventure they’ll solve despite themselves, as they blunder through it all, through accident and mishap, and lots and lots of comedy. [...]

6. October 2011
Baggage By Robin and Lorenzo Etherington The DFC Library Baggage is the first original graphic novel from the DFC library (everything else so far has been collected from the pages of the DFC Comic) and also the first DFC Library title to repeat a creative team, as the Etherington Brothers’ was published in September 2010. I enjoyed [...]

Hemlock Issues 1 & 2 By Josceline Fenton I’d seen Josceline Fenton’s Hemlock comic at various conventions, but never seemed to get round to picking up a copy. Stupid, stupid me. So I eventually first saw her work in the latest issue of Paper Science where her strip really, really impressed: “Fenton’s single pager is [...]

4. October 2011
All-Star Western #1 By Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti and Moritat Another Vertigo style book finds a home at the new DC, and a very good book it is. It’s a bit of a team-up, with Jonah Hex washing up in Gotham of the 1880s, a man out of place in the urban jungle, working alongside [...]
Continue reading...Aquaman…. my review gets eclipsed by Ty Templeton
4. October 2011
Aquaman #1 By Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis Now, I’ve written about Aquaman before. I wasn’t very nice about him. And it seems I’m one of those people Geoff Johns is talking to in Aquaman #1. Because this isn’t so much a first issue as a series of moments and a big bit of Geoff [...]
Continue reading...The Sun Sword … very likely my last Thorgal
4. October 2011
Thorgal Volume 10 – The Sun Sword By Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosinski Cinebook Oh I do swing too and fro with my enjoyment of Thorgal; Van Hamme and Rosinski’s legendary sword and sorcery saga. Here’s my first take on it – Volumes 1-6: So Thorgal was enjoyable enough, indeed it was a lot [...]

3. October 2011
Tantalize – Kieren’s Story By Cynthia Leitich Smith and illustrated by Ming Doyle Candlewick / Walker “As a hybrid werewolf, Kieren is destined to join an urban Wolf pack and learn to master his shift. Soon he’ll leave everything behind: home, school, his family, and Quincie, his human best friend … who’s beginning to be [...]
Continue reading...Marvel Guilt reviews…. Ultimate Spider-Man #2
2. October 2011
As the DC New 52 rolls to a stop for this first month, I get another pang of guilt that I’m leaving poor old Marvel out of the picture….. luckily they happen to have a load of great reboot comics of their own…. the Marvel Ultimate Universe I really enjoyed the first set last month [...]

2. October 2011
Teen Titans #1 By Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth First glance, this played into every bad feeling I had about this new DC thing – the reach of Image extending through the company, and all the exaggerated, ridiculous imagery that entails. Brett Booth’s art in those first few pages seemed to prove it as well, [...]
Continue reading...Guilty Marvel reviewing again…. Daredevil #4
2. October 2011
Right in the middle of looking at the whole DC New 52 thing I had a stupid pang of guilt about doing too much DC and not enough Marvel. Like I said, stupid. So on top of the 52 DC new number 1s I had a quick look at Marvel to see what was available. [...]
Continue reading...Propaganda’s Best Of September…..
2. October 2011
Time for the monthly roundup of the best of what I reviewed last month. Although it has been a weird, weird month…. DC have practically destroyed me with their 52 new number 1s, and to top it all I decided to balance it out with a few Marvel reviews. My head is all over the [...]
