Abhay: Traditional Capsule Reviews

Categories: Reviews
I was out all week, so spent tonight in, recharging. I usually try to avoid the capsule reviews– I don’t think I’m very good at those. But I thought I’d try again tonight. My apologies before we begin– I can’t really promise much here. Just some randomly selected books I’ve read in this past month, I think…

Huh, this is a pretty hefty-ass week, with lots of comical goodness! I’m especially happy that my new favorite comic, XOMBI, is shipping this week! (Though I really question the wisdom of shipping two different “point one” issues of Avengers-franchise titles, especially since there is ALSO a “regular” issue of SECRET AVENGERS this week) ACTION COMICS #900 AGE OF X UNIVERSE #2 (OF 2) AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #659 BIG AMERICAN VAMPIRE #14 ANGEL #44 ANITA BLAKE CIRCUS OF DAMNED INGENUE #3 (OF 5) ARCHIE #620 AVENGERS #12 POINT ONE BART SIMPSON COMICS #59 BATMAN INCORPORATED #5 BETTY & VERONICA #253 (RES) BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #190 BRIGHTEST DAY #24 CAPTAIN AMERICA #617 CARTOON NETWORK ACTION PACK #59 CAVEWOMAN… Read More…
Wait, What? Ep. 36: Sexy Sinestro

Hello, friends. I almost managed to screw the pooch on this deadline too, but things came together, I was able to find a little patch of editing and uploading time, and…here we are. Sexy Sinestro Time! So, as I mention in my intro, WW? 36 is our almost-didn’t-happen shortcast which goes to prove that even when Graeme and I are both exhausted and overworked and have sworn that we’re not going to talk comics, we can and will still have something to say about comics. Consequently, however, we media res the hell out of this one, cutting in very late on our discussion and cutting out kinda early. (It’s like good screenwriting advice as applied to podcasts! Next up, Graeme… Read More…

Comix Experience is very pleased to have local San Francisco cartoonist MariNaomi appearing on Saturday, May 14th, from noon to 2 PM. MariNaomi is the author of Kiss & Tell: a Romantic Resume, Ages 0 to 22, where she documents each and every romantic/sexual encounter she had until young adulthood. It is a gripping piece of work, set against the backdrop of San Francisco in the 80s and 90s. Which means, if you’re a Bay Area resident, it’s even possible you’re in this book — at least one Comix Experience customer is! Please join us on Saturday, May 14, from noon to 2 PM to celebrate this special book!
Wait, What? Ep. 35: Useful Detritus, Somehow

Yeah, ran a little late for reasons about which I had very little control over…but hope you all are doing okay? It’s Ep. 35, and Graeme and I talk Fear Itself #1, re-examine Fraction and Ferry’s Thor, talk Bakuman Vol. 4 and Onion Head Monster: Catastrophic, and answer questions posed to us on Twitter. It may sound a little skimpy on content, but that’s just because I’m not doing it justice at all: it’s 90+ minutes of red-hot (mostly) comics talk. Should be available on iTunes by the time this goes live, and you can also listen to it right here: Wait, What, Ep. 34: Useful Detritus, Somehow As always, thanks for listening–and special thanks to Dasbender and everyone else… Read More…

THE SIXTH GUN– BOOK I: COLD, DEAD FINGERS By Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, Bill Crabtree, James Lucas Jones, Charlie Chiu, and Keith Wood. “Why must pronouncements and judgements … be so sweeping and extreme, not to mention callous and cruel? Why can’t our voiced opinions be more measured, tempered, considered?” – Doug Moench, May 1984, COMICS INTERVIEW #11

It is April, and we’re starting this year’s cycle of event storytelling. I’m fairly unconvinced this is what the audience actually and truly wants — at best I tend to think that the market supports them because its been sooooo long since we sold comics purely on the strength of the comics that we’ve forgotten anything BUT events, but I guess we’ll see what shakes out. Clearly the market is reeling right now — January and February were abysmal, and March not really that much better — and there’s a sense to me, at least, that this year’s are “make or break” for the Marvel and DC universes in some fashion or another. Not like comics will go… Read More…

Wait, What? Ep. 34: Fools Before The Fools’
Posted by: Jeff Lester on April 8, 2011

Whew. Just barely made it in under the wire–kinda ironic, considering I had the week off. And yet as sometimes happens when you take a vacation during a big comics convention, you can spend almost as much time recovering as you do shuffling through longboxes and whatnot. (More, obviously, in my case.) In any event, here’s Wait, What? Ep. 34 for you: almost ninety minutes of comic book flava recorded by Graeme and myself on the day before Wondercon. We talk Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture, Finder: Voice, Thor, Butcher Baker #1, Wonder Woman, Jimmy Olsen #1, and Marc Guggenheim’s recent Justice Society of America. Really, it was worth the wait (for those of you waiting, anyway.) By the time you… Read More…
