SUPERCROOKS #2 Writer: Mark Millar Artist: Leinil Francis Yu Mark Millar started out as a writing partner to Grant Morrison but his style is similar to Garth Ennis. Like Ennis’ Hitman and The Boys, Millar writes alternative superhero comics–comics where the “supers” do not play nice–like Kick Ass and Nemesis. Supercrooks is a great follow [...]

I Know What You Did Last Halloween

Batman: The Long Halloween Writer:  Jeph Loeb Artist: Tim Sale DC Comics | Graphic Novel | $19.99 Review by From the Booth‘s own Ken I’m not a big Jeph Loeb fan. The first book I can remember reading from him was the Counter-Earth Captain America series that was pretty lackluster but, in fairness, the entire [...]

RESET #1 Writer/Artist: Peter Bagge I love Peter Bagge’s work, especially on NEAT STUFF and HATE. I am also a fan of Philip K. Dick. The RESET comic seems like it might explore a theme similar to Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”. PKD-style science fiction with the skewering wit and [...]

MOON KNIGHT: It’s Crazy Good

| April 16, 2012

Moon Knight Vol. 1 (2006) Writer:  Charlie Huston Artist: David Finch Marvel | Graphic Novel | $14.99 Charlie Huston is best known for the series Wolverine: Best There Is which is probably not something even he advertises prominently.  I own all 189 books in Wolverine vol. 1.  I also own every single issue of his [...]

SAUCER COUNTRY Written by: Paul Cornell Pencilled by: Ryan Kelly Paranoia and politics in the desert. I like weird Fortean stuff and pay attention to local and U.S. politics, so this is right up my alley. DC COMICS/VERTIGO says: “Arcadia Alvarado is the Governor of New Mexico, she’s running for President, and she just released [...]

Hits The Mark – HITMAN Review

| April 9, 2012

Hitman Vol 1 Writer:  Garth Ennis Artist: John McCrea TPB | Price:  $9.95 Garth Ennis is sometimes criticized for only doing one thing but he does it well. He is the master of gritty, gun wielding, and morally ambiguous protagonists. He seems to write Punisher storylines whether he is writing Pride and Joy or Painkiller [...]

Ultimate Spider-Man #9 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: David Marquez I enjoyed the original Ultimate Spider-Man from the beginning and I’ve been enjoying the new version even more. Brian Michael Bendis really shines on solo books, and proves it here as he make Miles Morales as interesting as Peter Parker. We find out more about [...]

Best Kept Secret – Secret Warriors Vol. 1 Review

| April 2, 2012

Secret Warriors Vol. 1 Writer:  Brian Michael Bendis/Jonathan Hickman Artist: Stefano Caselli Graphic Novel | $16.99 Brian Michael Bendis has written so many books that I could fill an entire column just listing his work. From his Ultimate Spider-Man run to major Marvel events like Secret Invasion and Siege, arguably no one has shaped the [...]

Thor Does Not Need The Avengers to Beat The X-Men

| March 29, 2012

THOR-A-THON UPDATE/AVX ANALYSIS AVENGERS VS X-MEN is coming! CBH is on the side of the Avengers. I was looking for a way to talk about how Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are going to trounce the X-Babies, and I could not get past my perception that Thor could do it alone. But I would have to back [...]

WALKING DEAD #95 Writer: Robert Kirkman Artists: Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn Just like the rest of America, I too am caught up in Walking Dead fever. I love the TV show and I love the comic book. The great thing about the comic is that it tells a similar, but different story than the TV [...]
