As of 5pm on Friday 9/23 (last Friday, that is), the Hibbs v Marvel Class Action Settlement is a done deal, with the last chance for any appeal closing. I was given expectations to see the credits in the next week or so, but we’ll see what actually happens as things move through the system. So, hooray! This week’s shipment is… wow, kinda large. Kinda really really REALLY large. 2000 AD #1453 2000 AD #1454 ABC A TO Z TOM STRONG AND JACK B QUICK ACTION PHILOSOPHERS #1 2ND PRINTING ACTION PHILOSOPHERS SELF HELPFOR UGLY LOOSERS ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #644 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #524 ANGEL THE CURSE #4 ARANA HEART OF THE SPIDER #9 AUTHORITY THE MAGNIFICIENT KEVIN #2 BATMAN #645…  Read More…

Donnie Sticksel had what I thought was a good idea — since Jeff is still away, and I’m trying to get caught up from vacation (oh, isn’t it ironic….), we should still start a thread to let YOU say what you thought of this week’s comics. So, let’s try that — the comments section is open, have at thee! -B

A tri-purpose post. One, to announce this will definitely be my last post until I get back from the honeymoon, and two, to test the theory that people getting married in a week should not review comic books on the Internet. Although I feel perfectly relaxed, comfortable and cheery, I’m having trouble remembering my own name, much less what happened to Scorpion in Amazing Fantasy #12. Either it’s early Alzheimer’s or I am freaking the fuck out on a level at which I’m only vaguely aware. It’s cool. Oh, and three is, I got to hang out at the shop on Friday with Fanboy Rampage’s Graeme McMillan who is cool and funny and gives very good wedding advice. (So does…  Read More…

Aghhhhh…so…much…to…do… AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #523: Reminded me of those ol’ Tales of Suspense stories that Stan and crew used to crank out, twelve pagers (ten pagers?) that managed to barely get the hero from one cliffhanger to the next—Marie Severin should’ve drawn this, really. But what’s (kinda) charming in ten pages for twelve cents becomes (more than a little) annoying at twenty-two pages for $2.50, a feeling only amplified by that cover of Toy Biz’s next big action figure, Second Trimester Spider-Man. Eh. ASTONISHING X-MEN #12: Okay, okay! So it wasn’t as good as the previous arc; so it barely made a lick of sense with established continuity; so the idea that Xavier would enslave a newly sentient life form because…  Read More…

So, I’m borrowing a laptop to write this — not sure if I have all the setting right, so if this is late, well that’s why. As Jeff mentioned, he’s getting married next month; and I? Well, I’m crazy swamped between the last of the Settlement stuff, working with ComicsPRO (www.comicspro.org), and a couple of things I’m not going to tell you about right now (I’ll tell you when I’m done) What does this mean? That September is going to be a very thin month for posting on this here blog. Like, I-might-not-even-getting-the-shipping-lists-up-for-the-next-few-weeks thin. On the other hand, when Jeff and I come back to it, we’ll be tanned, rested and ready, and our (my!) post counts should be going…  Read More…
