Nah, thanks to you guys for the good reading material. I look forward to the next article.

The funny thing is, I just threw the Civil War article together as a stopgap to cover my weekend missing in action. I just threw up a review of Echo #1 from Terry Moore, and I got my DCBS box with a good 15 comics in there, so I'll be posting more reviews throughout the week.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I appreciate it.

Oh, and Tony's not a skrull. Marvel and Bendis have said this multiple times. Sure, they could be lying, but I seriously, seriously doubt it.

Part 2 of Billy & Mandy’s weekly review of Y: The Last Man is up now, go read it if you got an hour to spare:

This is a story about love losing to pride. A story about fathers and sons. A story about brothers from different mothers. A story about a girl. And a story about those moments in your life that change everything.

Criminal is a book about the seedy underbelly of our society and the people that live there. There are no heroes or even anti-heroes in this book. Just thieves, murderers and as the British say, villains.

Desiato reviews Avengers the Initiative #10...

I normally do everything I can to stay away from spoilers when I review books, but I’m having serious trouble doing so with Avengers: The Initiative. So there will be some spoilers for the series up to this point. I’ll try to keep them as mild as possible, but be warned.

With “Valley Forge, Valley Forge: The Slaughter of a U.S. Marine Garrison and the Birth of the Punisher”, Garth Ennis begins his final arc on the title he completely redefined and refocused nearly 8 years ago. Even writing all that is still severely understating the impact Ennis has had on this character.

Desiato reviews Booster Gold #7...

Well, they got me. This series has been on the cusp of my chopping block ever since the silliness of issue five and the return of Blue Beetle. I didn’t think it was necessary...

So I’m walking through Comicopia, the kick ### comic shop I mentioned in my Echo #1 review a couple days ago, when I happen to go to the back and see some nice Quarter bins. I’m poking through, not really seeing anything except a couple random issues of the Sean McKeever all ages book Sentinel. Then I notice that they’ve got these oversized poly bags with multiple issues for a flat price. The first one I see has the first issue of Super-Villain Team-Up: M.O.D.O.K.’s 11 staring out at me...

Greg Rucka’s run on Checkmate has been pretty legendary. Not in a ‘this will be remembered forever’ kind of way. Not even in a ‘this is super-popular right now’ way. But, Greg Rucka has done an excellent job of taking a 25 issue run and turning every single issue into a piece of a larger puzzle, illustrating many of the greatest strengths of comics’ serialized format.
