Back!

I'm back, I'm back...it's been a rough couple of weeks - first I was sick for a full two weeks, missed a ton of work that I still haven't caught up on. Then last week, lacrosse season started (I coach the boys' varsity at the school where I teach) and that cuts into my time.

But now, it's Sunday and I'm ready for some...

QUICK THOUGHTS ON COMICS OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS AS i BAG, BOARD AND FILE THEM!

DAREDEVIL #94 - The best cover of the year so far. Also a nice jumping-on point for new readers as Milla fills in the last year-plus of DD. Love what Brubaker's done with this series, and excited for the new Gladiator arc!

Wolverine #51 - Meh...Wolvie v. Sabertooth v.962714. The CW-related issues were interesting and presented a nice subplot to the main storyline, and I was kind of amped for Jeph Loeb's run, but how many times can we see the same fight? How is there anything new that can be added to their relationship?

Civil War: Frontline #11 - Color me shocked...the war-profitteering mastermind behind the whole Civil War was...TONY STARK. This is me:



(minus the breasts and feminine fingernails)

Punisher War Journal #4 - Best wake issue since Gaiman's Sandman. Loved the Spidey cameo.

Ghost Rider #9 - I still think this is the most underrated book that Marvel is putting out. Way has set up a story that is finite, yet that has potential to last as long as the powersthatbe allow it to. Daniel Way's art is rich and textured, very dark and perfect for GR.

New X-Men #36 - Why am I still buying this?

Robin #160 - As opposed to THIS teen book, which I have to decided to totally dig. The art is crisp and clean without being too cartoony, the story is simple, the characterization dead-on, and a nice classic-style cliffhanger closes this issue.

52 Week 45 - Worth it to see Black Adam going over the edge. Can't wait for the big payoff!

Alrighty - it's my bedtime now. More to come later in the week!

Stuff coming soon...

No new comix reviews from last week, as my books are all at my apartment and I'm at my mommy and daddy's place trying to fight off the case of Creeping Death that is sweeping the northeast.

Possibly a Tale from the Cardboard Box tomorrow, if I have the energy...
