O.k. I know I haven’t really spent much time on comics lately. Still been reading them, just been too busy to really pay much attention to review them. But Fell #9 from Mr. Warren Ellis and Mr. Ben Templesmith does it again. In just 16 pages it manages to tell a complete story, use storytelling techniques brand new to the medium and look absolutely amazing. It’s one of the few comics left today that are worth the wait. Another fine issue. A Plus.
Optic Nerve #11 By Adrian Tomine. Finally this issue is out and finally we can conclude this 3 parter. Tomine is once again playing the wordiness of comics around and what we get is a little piece of self loathing and a wonderfully realised story.
Always good Aplus.
Loveless # 18. More blackwater foolishness. B plus.
Fell #8 Wouldn’t you know it. Optic Nerve gets overshadowed by this book. Fell is not just a great value in comics, it’s also a writer’s workshop, and artistic beauty and truly the best comic I’m reading. APLUS!
Fell # 7 Image Comics 1.99 by Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith. Thank You Thank You Thank you. I miss the backmatter not being in this issue, but other than that I had no clue I like good cop stories so much. Maybe I don’t but heck if this isn’t my favorite comic. Now if it only came out more than once every three months. Aplus.
Loveless # 15. Vertigo/DC 2.99 Now here’s a comic that has kept it’s scheldule for a little over a year now. It’s still good, but with each issue I’m losing a bit of that shock factor that drew me in the first place. B-
So I got to see Lost in High Def last night for the first time. Ooohhh the Jungle is Green. I mean really really green.
