But what should you buy? Well, to kick things off, let me start by saying that there isContinue reading “Iron Man, Iron Man Does Whatever an Iron Can”

Read This Comic For Charity: Hawkeye #7
“Paul, you’re always talking about Hawkeye! What’s so great about it?” Well, anonymous reader that found this site while searching for porn, I believe I’ve written about it extensively. I’ve mostly said things like: “It’s awesome.” “Hawkeye is awesome. Both the character AND the book.” “I have a writer crush on Matt Fraction.” “David AjaContinue reading “Read This Comic For Charity: Hawkeye #7”
Buy Things With Your Moneys: Digital Comic Books
This post is entirely for digital or digital curious readers. I’ve been reading comic books digitally for about a year now. I’ve read a couple of print things here and there, but I love reading panel by panel. As far as my (fast) style of reading goes, it helps me linger and study each panelContinue reading “Buy Things With Your Moneys: Digital Comic Books”
It’s Christmas Time in Hollis, Queens
John McClane: “How about some Christmas music?” Argyle: “MAN, this IS Christmas music!” – John McTiernan’s Die Hard, 1988 There are few Christmas songs that are better than Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis.” There are few songs, period, that are better. Go ahead, play this track down as you read through this post (OR, playContinue reading “It’s Christmas Time in Hollis, Queens”
Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part Two: The Secret of The Ooze
Favorite comic books of the year post, PART 2! (I almost typed Part @ cause I held down the shift key. And you would have been yelling “Part AT what, Paul? Part at WHAAAAAT? So you’re welcome for me saving you from that agita). As is common in this Western culture of ours, weContinue reading “Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part Two: The Secret of The Ooze”
Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part One
Because I either won’t be able to limit myself to a Top 10 or have enough content to make it to Top 10! Also, why be like everyone else, when I can be a quirky variation on everyone else instead? Ha-HA! Merry Christmas you old building and loan! Hawkeye I think I’ve stressed howContinue reading “Things I Loved About Comics This Year Part One”
Not, NOW! Then! Not THEN, Now! (Oh, and Hawkeye is still awesome)
Marvel NOW! Well. It’s maybe slightly better than DC’s New 52 as far as stupid marketing names go, but it’s mostly a stupid marketing name that’s been slapped on a number of good comics. Last year, DC Comics relaunched their entire superhero line by canceling every title it was publishing, and launching 52 series startingContinue reading “Not, NOW! Then! Not THEN, Now!

Awesome Comics Are Awesome: Comics I Bought, Week of 10/17/12
More Horror! Bongo Comics has been adding issues of Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror to Comixology and I’ve been buying them. It’s interesting seeing The Simpsons in another medium, and honestly theses horror parodies are a better fit than a “normal” Simpsons comic book seems to be. It also helps that issue #13 which IContinue reading “Awesome Comics Are Awesome: Comics I Bought, Week of 10/17/12”
I Do Not Even Know How This Got Out The Door, Defenders #1-6
Seriously, this is one of those books that I can’t believe Marvel has published. I’m not trying to say that in a stuck up manner, but they’re a fairly conservative publisher when it comes to trying new or expiremental things and it’s just so…weird and fun. Credits! Defenders is written by Matt Fraction! I haveContinue reading “I Do Not Even Know How This Got Out The Door, Defenders #1-6”
