Mailbag

Filed Under comics

Somehow I’ve gotten onto a list and I get a lot of Xerix Grant winners in the mail for review now. And I’m very happy about that. I get to read a lot of cool books that way.

This time the postman brought me The Brontes: Infernal Angria by Craig McKenney and Rick Geary. Which might be the push I need to finally read all those Bronte Sisters books that have been sitting on my bookshelf for years. Or Glyn Hughes’s novel Bronte, which has been on the shelf unread for nearly as long.

Review: PULL LIST 6/15/05

Filed Under comics

Last week’s Pull List is up. Covers the following books:

Birds of Prey #83
Adventures of Superman #641
Day of Vengeance #3
Seven Soldiers: Klarion #2
Mnemovore #3
Strange Girl #1
Death Jr. #2
The Battle Hymn #3
G.I. Joe: America’s Elite! #0
Western Tales of Terror #4
Bigfoot #4

Not worthy of a separate blog entry is the fact that I’ve streamlined my review pile a little so that I can quickly hammer out some reviews of shorter books and catch up on stuff that publishers sent me before reviewing more stuff that I bought for my own amusement.

Also, please disregard any nonsense I may have posted about temporarily abandoning the Pirate Novel. That was wickety-whack.

Review: ADVENTURE CLASSICS

Filed Under adventure, comics

If you’ve never read Graphic Classics, you’re missing out. Especially if you like different styles of really good art and fun, classic literature.

Great Curve: An Intelligent Evil Ernie?

Filed Under comics

Today on The Great Curve I wonder whether or not comics that originated as Shock Horror or T&A books have the potential to become anything more. Interested in hearing examples and thoughts other than mine.
