The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-25-10
A nice week of releases this week, with an old favorite coming up the winner. While some were pleasant surprises (Batman’s missing chapter to RIP was actually pretty good), and others were entertaining as well, only one really was fun enough to get the nod. This week’s pick is Avengers #4. While the relaunch of [...]
Walking Dead Trailer or, Halloween Can’t Come Fast Enough
AMC officially released their Comicon Walking Dead trailer, along with it’s official debut info. It’s set to premier on October 31st at 10pm eastern (that’s 9pm central for those of us at Project Silence) with a special 90 minute episode. I, for one, am psyched after watching this, and am glad to see AMC trying [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-18-10
A very good week of releases this week, with a couple books really rising to the top. But, this week can only have one true pick, and seeing as a finale to a six year Eisner-award winning series was published, that’s obviously the way to go. Your pick this week is Ex Machina #50. One [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-11-10
In the spirit of the Podcast, I decided to procrastinate an extra day to post the Ettatorial as well. Actually, that’s not totally true, I just ended up not having the time to get it together after a busy day. And with the week’s releases lacking and being on the small side (only 3 books), [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-4-10
A big week of releases this week, with a couple books actually stepping up (Brightest Day might manage to keep on my buy pile) and one perennial pick got a demerit due to context (Secret Six was all sorts of awesome, but it’s situation made no sense in the bigger sense of story). And while [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-28-10
A small, and somewhat disappointing week of releases this week. While two of my three books were relatively enjoyable, though not worthy of picking, the third is beginning to disappoint on a regular basis. Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne is becoming painfully predictable and formulaic, and while some in-depth reading and research seems to [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-21-10 (Comicon Round-up Edition)
Well, I was all set to give you a pick of the week this week, but that was before I forgot that this week was Comicon. And while there were some good books released this week, all the great things “announced” (let’s not kid ourselves, a lot of this was rumored or known to those [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-14-10
A decent-sized week of releases this week, with a couple great reads, and a surprising one that topped my stack to win pick of the week. While another came close (Avengers Academy #2), it was only fair for one to get the nod. Your pick this week is Brave and the Bold #35. To be [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-8-10
A huge week of releases this week, on top of a day late shipping day due to the holiday. All this equals my not having a pick of the week for you. Instead, I’m going to cheat and provide a visual list of books I bought, and leave it up to the readers to provide [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-30-10
A small week of releases this week, just three in all, and while all three were adequate, none really stood out as a pick. So, considering that, and the fact I have a stack of tpbs/graphic novels I’ve been trying to tackle, I’m going with a recommendation on one of those instead. Your pick this [...]
