REVIEW: Brimstone #1

With the mutterings of a Native American curse, chaos breaks out. With the Civil War in full tilt, only the lowest of the low can quell the situation and bring the mining town Brimstone, to order. But does this Horror/Spaghetti Western have what it takes to ride high in the saddle? Or is it a green horn that’s been turned into lunchmeat?

Review: X-Factor #33

xfactorpicon.jpg

My first introduction to witnessing an event as it took place was the Civil War/Infinite Crisis year. Back then, I was a little bit younger, and apparently I didn’t mind the mass of books that you had to buy to keep up with what was happening. I was blissfully unaware of the sheer greed that went with such an event and the need to tie-in as much as humanly possible to make as much money.

So when I saw the Secret Invasion banner on top of my X-Factor this past week, I was crestfallen. Not entirely surprised, just disappointed.

The Last Defenders #4 (of 6)

Or – “In Which I Discuss The Changing Role Of The Limited Series…”

It’s difficult to remember that, in comics terms, the Limited Series has only been around for a few short years.  (Well, I should probably amend that statement to say the INTENTIONALLY Limited Series.  A lot of books ran 4, 5, or 6 issues and got cancelled due to sales, editorial caveat, or general sucktitude.)  Used to be that the point of the Limited Series was to showcase characters who hadn’t been seen in a while, or to finish off story points that didn’t have another venue.  These days it seems like the Limited Series is nothing but a backdoor pilot, a way of saying “we’re just not sure this concept has legs.”  And unfortunately, many of the current crop of limiteds suffers because of this mentality…  Is Last Defenders one of them?  Clickety click click click, dangolinternet!
