REVIEW: Hit-Girl #1 (of 5)

Or – “She Looks Really Weird On That Cover, Doesn’t She?”

I’ve been a fan of John Romita Jr. since his run on Spider-Man decades ago, and have appreciated Mark Millar’s work since the early 90′s.  When they work together, though, I find my opinion of their work to be all over the place.  Can Hit-Girl get past the novelty value of a foul-mouthed 12 year old murderess?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Rapid-Fire Reviews: March Madness!!

Or – “Named For The Roman God Martius, God Of War…”

 

Not to be confused with famed Martian general Marvin, whose computers are so complex and naughty… Traditionally, this month has signaled the beginning of the season of military campaigns, and also the time when college basketball generals lead their troops unto the field of battle. For me, working in small-market TV for as long as I did, it’s a month which signals mighty pains in the butt, which explains why this is technically the FEBRUARY edition of RFR. We apologize for the inconvenience… Better to just press on.
