20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade: Rob’s Supplementary List
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: January 13, 2010
A new decade has begun, and with it, High Five! Comics will soon be unveiling our special “20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade” event (take THAT, Siege). But before we reveal the big list, we’ll start with a series of supplementary entries from HF!C’s contributing writers about those comics we each individually loved, [...]
Happy Holidays from High Five!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: December 25, 2009
I came across this in an old December 1983 Dallas Times Herald newspaper supplement issue of Spider-Man (the Kingpin goes to Dallas and dresses as Santa to hold some billionaires hostage, pretty lame story) and it seemed highly necessary, considering what today is. Anyways, do as the Hulk says and have a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, [...]
Amazing Spider-Man #612: Man, Where Have I Been?
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 21, 2009
I’m going to admit to something right now, and I hope that you can forgive me. I am so unbelievably out of the loop on Spider-Man, it’s ridiculous. Basically, I was a casual reader and sorta knew what was up with ol’ Web-head riiiight up until everybody collectively yelled, “Fuck ‘One More Day,’ fuck ‘Brand [...]
Guardians of the Galaxy #19 – The Killing Fields
Posted by: ianchant on: November 15, 2009
What to do when the team of kind of goofy but extremely fun cosmic heroes you’ve assembled over the past three years and three epic mini-series just gets too big to handle? That was the dilemma that face Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning recently, when their misfit defenders of the cosmos, the Guardians of the [...]

While taking a break from writing a post for tonight, I decided to flip through November 1967′s Brave and the Bold Vol. 1 #74 (hell yeah, Metal Man/Batman team-up!). And then, on page two, I found this little gem. Let that sink in. Batman is talking shit on Spider-Man, a character who doesn’t exist in [...]
How is Brian Braddock Not A Bigger Deal?
Posted by: Maggie_C on: November 9, 2009
I mean, maybe I’ve just been more exposed to British culture than most American kids, thanks to growing up with a British stepfather (Captain Britain was born in Essex, by the way. What UP, parents who read our blog?) but how is Captain Britain not more popular in the States, or even in the UK? [...]
Web of Spider-Man Vol. 2 #1: I Thought the 90s Were Over?
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 22, 2009
Last week, Marvel relaunched the old Web of Spider-Man title and, well, the results are a bit strange. Basically, the book is a collection of three unrelated short stories by three different sets of authors and illustrators that draw heavily from characters and events of the 90s (you know, the decade where Marvel had to [...]
Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra: It’s All in the Roots
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 21, 2009
As I said in my last post about Greg Rucka’s female characters, I’ve been hunting for a copy of his four-issue run on Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra for a while now. I finally came across a copy earlier today, in a discount bin at my favorite hometown comic shop. I snapped it up and immediately [...]

I got to open a Christmas present in October this year; Rob picked up Spider-Woman #1 (Volume One, not the new Bendis run) for me at Long Beach Comic Con. (Thanks Rob!) I finally opened it tonight, thinking “This was written in 1978, it’ll be cheesy enough to lovingly mock, right?” Turns out, not so [...]
