Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1: Nostalgia Goggles, Don’t Fail Me Now!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 26, 2011
IDW has always had a bad habit of taking their dirty franchise-licensing thumbs and jamming it into my pie of childhood nostalgia (terrible metaphor, but go with it). Every time I hear that there’s going to be a new comic based on something from my youth, I get super-excited until I see that it’s coming [...]
We’re Back! A Comic Blog’s Story
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 3, 2011
Look, baby, we know we’ve been distant lately. It’s just that, well, things looked like they were starting to get a bit stale. You know how we are! We had to go out! “Sow our wild oats” or whatever the expression is! But we realized that, after all that, the only place we really wanted [...]
Infinite Vacation #1: This is Your Multiverse on Drugs
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: January 12, 2011
One of my New Year’s Resolutions this year was to buy a comic every Wednesday that I know nothing about. Considering how much I enjoyed last week’s Who Is Jake Ellis?, this has actually been a pretty good plan. On this week’s Wednesday pilgrimage, I came across Infinite Vacation by Nick Spencer, a guy whose [...]
Bill Murray and Stan Lee’s Fantastic Four Radio Show
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: January 4, 2011
So, we all know how much I love the old Silver Age Fantastic Four books (or, well, anything Silver Age, really). It’s no surprise, then, that I got ridiculously excited when I discovered that in the mid-70s there was a short lived radio serial based on several of the Lee/Kirby issues of Fantastic Four. The [...]
High Five! Top Five! – Bizarre Santa Claus Cameos in Comics
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: December 13, 2010
It’s December, and we all know what that means. STUPID OVERPRICED CHRISTMAS COMICS! And with the random holiday specials comes the totally awkward stories where Santa rolls around with your favorite superheroes. They’re generally throwaway stories that nobody buys and, well, really hold no bearing on continuity. So what’s the point? Well, occasionally, you strike [...]
Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers #1: No Case Too Big, No Case Too Small
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 30, 2010
If you were born in the mid-8os like me, you have fond memories of watching the Disney Afternoon line-up of cartoons. Nothing beat coming home from first grade, plunking down in front of the TV, and binging on Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, TaleSpin, and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers all in a row. BOOM! Studios has already [...]
T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1: What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 11, 2010
Much like the old characters from Charlton, Fawcett, Milestone, and MLJ Comics, DC has recently acquired the full rights to the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents team and is folding them into the DCU in their own title. Before I get into a review of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1, however, I should probably tell you a bit about their [...]
Superboy #1: Think Small
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 3, 2010
Ever since the Superman panel at SDCC 2010, my interest about Jeff Lemire’s Superboy had been piqued. After all, he’s proven with Essex County, The Nobody, and Sweet Tooth that he’s best writing about what happens in small-town America and, well, it doesn’t get more small-town America than Smallville. Directly following his stint as the [...]
