It’s comics day!
Today’s Wednesday, so that means new comics are in stores across the world! I’ve been doing some reviews for the Silver Snail, one of Toronto’s highly-regarded comic shops; they’ve been kind enough to let me post them on their site. Below you’ll find my reviews, and a short excerpt. Click through for the whole shebang!
- Skullkickers #14 (Image) [link]: Pictured above, Skullkickers gives us a great shakeup to the current story with both a setting and character change. This book brings the funny.
- Invincible #91 (Image) [link]: I’m really getting tired of this book, as I feel like it’s been just coasting since the Viltrumite War ended. It’s supposed to be one of those “break between arcs” stories, but it just. won’t. end.
- Batman #9 (DC) [link]: One of the best books this week. If you’ve been following the Night of the Owls crossover, this will be a pretty cool issue. However, there’s some problems with a little too much, too fast.
- PICK OF THE WEEK: Mega Man #11 (Archie Comics) [link]: Easily my pick of the week because it somehow manages to bring a robotics ethics debate into a children’s comic. On top of that, they managed to make it entertaining, well-plotted and simple enough that a reader will get something new every time they read it. Props.
Thanks for reading, everyone! Got any requests for books you want me to read/review? Send me an ask!

Today’s Comic Purchases: 6/1/2011
Hello ladies and gents! Here’s my picks for this week’s comics. I picked up:
- Sweet Tooth #22 (Vertigo, Jeff Lemire)
- Superboy #8 (DC, Jeff Lemire)
- Secret Six #34 (DC, Gail Simone)
- Avengers Academy #14.1 (Marvel, Christos Gage)
- Fear Itself #3 (Marvel, Matt Fraction)
- Amazing Spider-Man #663 (Marvel, Dan Slott)
Good haul this week; I don’t really like Marvel’s “.1” series of issues, but I picked up Avengers Academy for completion’s sake, and because I’m really liking this series. Fear Itself surprised me with some twists, but Secret Six was definitely this week’s pick. Check it out!
Here’s the reviews I did for ComicVine for four of the above issues. Spoilers abound, people!
