The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M #1 (of 4)
Published by: Image
Writer: Frank Beddor & Liz Cavalier
Artist: Ben Templesmith
Letterer: Jason Hanley
Editor: C.J. Wrobel
Rating: 4 out of 5
The main reason I picked this book up was because the art was done by Ben Templesmith. In fact, he’s credited first in the book.
I enjoyed the story here. […]

The Authority [Vol. 4] #1
Published by: Wildstorm
Writer: Grant Morrison
Artist: Gene Ha
Colorist: Art Lyon
Letterer: Comicraft
Assistant Editor: Kristy Quinn
Editor: Scott Dunbier
Rating: 4 out of 5
Okay, I’m going to come out and say it, because every other review I’ve seen pans this issue because of it: no members of The Authority appear in this book. Frankly, […]

Another day where I skip out of posting a review so that I can tell you what I’m going to buy. But I’m posting twice a day anyway for the forseeable future, so who’s going to notice, right?
So, without further ado: Stuff I’m planning on buying today.

We will be continuing in today’s trend of second-issue letdowns. I don’t know if this is more or less of a letdown than The […]

The Lone Ranger #2
Published by: Dynamite Entertainment
Writer: Brett Matthews
Artist & Cover: Sergio Carriello
Colorist: Dean White
Cover: John Cassaday
Letterer: Simon Bowland
Rating: 4 out of 5
While not as awe-inspiring as the first issue, this is still a good read. We see John’s first interactions with Tonto, and it is immediately obvious that he is not just going […]

I have been unexpectedly and unimaginably busy the past few days - so much so that I haven’t even been able to read my latest acquisitions.  I apologize for the lack of updates.  I will probably post more again on Monday.  I may give you a couple per day as payback.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Published by: Oni Press
Writer & Artist: Bryan Lee O’Malley
Rating: 5 out of 5
Woohoo! More Scott Pilgrim! If it’s possible, this volume is EVEN BETTER than the first. We see Scott at a younger, more impressionable age - and he’s still got some awesome ninja moves. Things heat […]

Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life
Published by: Oni Press
Writer & Artist: Bryan Lee O’Malley
Rating: 5 out of 5
This is also a bit older; I think this book came out in 2004. O’Malley comes out with a new Scott Pilgrim story about once a year, so I have plenty of time to review the first three […]

Rating: 5 out of 5 (at least)
Premise: Instead of going ronin, a master-less samurai moves to the city and opens a detective agency.
Synopsis:
Sam Noir is a samurai who owns his own detective agency. Like any comic book […]

Writer: Judd Winick
Artist: Howard Porter
Letterer: Bob Leigh
Associate Editor: Tom Palmer, Jr.

Do I start each review with a disclaimer, or does it just seem that way? I have a couple of them this time: 1) I’ve never really […]

The Cross Bronx #2 (of 4)

Writer: Michael Avon Oeming & Ivan Brandon
Artist: Michael Avon Oeming
Colorist: Nick Filardi
Cover: Michael Avon Oeming/Dave Johnson
Letterer: Kristyn Ferretti
Rating: 5 out of 5
Another excellent installment in this mini-series by Oeming and Brandon. I’ve read some reviews that criticize the panel usage and pacing of these books, and say […]

Planetes, Vol. 1

Rating: 4 out of 5
We’re going to start with a little older book this time around. This was my first foray into the world of manga. I had seen this on the “must-read” lists of many a respected comic book reader, and […]
