Wednesday Haul 12/28/11
New books I bought this week: Aquaman #4 - A few months ago I would have never believed that I’d be calling Aquaman one of the best comic books in DC Comics’ roster of titles. How can Geoff Johns be writing this great series filled with action and emotion while simultaneously writing Justice League which lacks any character, pacing, or depth? I’m honestly not familiar enough...

Wednesday Haul 12/21/11
New books I bought this week: Amazing Spiderman #676 Baltimore: The Plague Ships TPB - If Mike Mignola’s writing and/or drawing it, I’m buying it. I’ve yet to read this series, but if I know Mignola, it’s going to be a great read. Batman #4 - I’m loving the mystery that Scott Snyder has set up in this series. The new villain (The Talon) is one of my favorite...

Wednesday Haul 12/14/11
New books I bought this week: Avengers X-Sanction #1 - I am not invested in this story, the events which built up to it, or what it will mean for the rest of the Marvel Universe. I am also a known non-fan of Jeph Loeb. So, why am I reading this series? I don’t dislike Ed McGuinness’ art and Cable looks cool. I am a horrible person. Batwoman #4 - Not much happens in this issue....

New books I bought this week: Amazing Spiderman #675 Animal Man #4 - I think I’m reaching the point with this book that I just don’t think I care anymore. Issue 1 was pretty intriguing, but this whole story about animal gods living in a magic tree and focusing so much on Buddy’s daughter is beginning to bore me. I’m really enjoying the creepy, comedic villain who...

Hammer Dracula
As I mentioned in a previous post, this past Halloween I watched all of the Hammer Frankenstein and Dracula films for the first time. These are my thoughts on the latter series: Dracula (aka Horror Of Dracula) - 5/5 Dracula started out a bit slow for me, but by the time Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as Van Helsing and Count Dracula begin their battle to the death during the climax, I...

Hammer Frankenstein
This past Halloween I decided to dive headfirst into the Hammer Horror vault and watch all of their many Frankenstein and Dracula films, none of which I’d seen before. I meant to write up some reviews back when I watched them, but time makes fools of us all. Here’s what I thought of each installment of Hammer’s Frankenstein series: The Curse Of Frankenstein - 5/5 Peter...

Wednesday Haul 11/30/11
New books I bought this week: B.P.R.D.: Being Human TPB Daredevil #6 - I wish that Marcos Martin were sticking around for another arc or two (he and Paolo Rivera were supposed to alternate arcs), but I’ll be excited to see whatever it is he’s going off to work on next. I still say that Mark Waid is a perfect fit for this book. Not much to say about this issue in particular, but...

New books I bought this week: Aliens: Fast Track To Heaven HC - There were some pretty good Aliens comics back in the early/mid 90’s, but most Aliens comics have honestly been pretty lame. This book isn’t just lame, but a slap in the face to Aliens fans. I know that this book ran into a lot of issues which resulted in it’s release being delayed at least a year, but after all...

Wednesday Haul 11/16/11
New books I bought this week: Amazing Spiderman #674 Batman #3 - Issue 2 (reviewed below) got me hooked on this series, and issue 3 has got me pining for more. I am genuinely enthralled in the mystery of the Court Of Owls. Bring on issue 4! The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker #5 Catwoman #3 - The storyline with the new villain called “Bone” seems to have wrapped up very...
