Friday Recommendation: Kill Your Boyfriend

By | Nov 4, 2011 | Columns

This is one of my favorite panels from my single favorite comic book ever made. It’s a comic about loving life, and being young, and taking thrills before you’re too old and soft and boring to forget how. It’s about how the world is stupid and silly and needs a kick sometimes, but how both […]

NYCC Pick-Up Friday Recommendation – Gronk

By | Oct 28, 2011 | Columns

Ever since I first saw her adorable Marvel Cats a few years back, I’ve been in love with Katie Cook’s offbeat and too adorable to function approach to comicbookery. Frankly, the industry needs more lighthearted and playful approaches to super hero conventions and with a pin-up here and a variant cover there, Ms. Cook has […]

Friday Recommendation: The Sandman

By | Oct 21, 2011 | Columns

Those of us that got into comics later in life, rather than reading them consistently from the get go, are used to the standard lists of recommended reads. There’s Watchmen, of course, Maus, V for Vendetta, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, A Contract With God… there are many options, and while the various lists have […]

Friday Recommendation: Uncanny X-Force

By | Oct 14, 2011 | Columns

This week for Friday Rec, I’m going to share with you a book I only recently started reading, but quickly poured over back issues and caught up in a matter of days. I was watching our video podcast with David and Brandon, 4 Color News and Brews (plug plug!) and Brandon plugged a book very […]

Friday Recommendation: New Teen Titans: Games

By | Sep 30, 2011 | Columns

Wednesday marked the official end of the “New 52” — all of DC’s ongoing series (for now) have been released and, although some are better than others, overall the initiative has been a success. People are talking about DC in every corner of the internet and, with the exception of the crazies who are boycotting […]

Friday Recommendation: Locke & Key

By | Sep 23, 2011 | Columns

I’m going to start this article with a simple sentence: I am absolutely addicted to this comic book, similar to how I imagine crack addicts are addicted to crack. Let’s discuss hyperbole after the cut. A long, long time ago, I read a comic book called Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday. This is […]

Friday Recommendation: Angela

By | Sep 16, 2011 | Columns

Sure, that page up there is from Wizard: The Guide to Comics and not Angela, but I guess it says it all. Except for all the stuff I say after the jump. What you need to know about Angela: Back in 1947 or whenever it is that Todd McFarlane created Spawn, he began constructing a […]

Friday Recommendation: The Unwritten

By | Sep 2, 2011 | Columns

It has come to my attention that not everyone is reading Mike Carey and Peter Gross’s Vertigo series The Unwritten. Don’t worry, I’m not judging you too hard – I am a little bit, though. In either the occasional review or Comics Should Be Cheap!, you’ve probably read my thoughts, extolling what is no doubt […]

Friday Recommendation: Mark Waid’s Daredevil

By | Aug 26, 2011 | Columns

This week on the Friday Recommendation, I’m taking a moment to provide a counterpoint to an article that was posted in this very same column last week from our EIC Matt, who suggested the new run of Daredevil wasn’t very good, and you should check out something else from the same character. While that is […]
