The Ettatorial for the Week of 3-3-10
For a whopping fifth record week here at the Ettatorial, we’re going with a trade paperback review instead of a book released this week. I only had a total of 3 books purchased this week, and honestly the quality was a bit lacking. So, as with weeks past, here’s something I can recommend.
Your pick this [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 2-24-10
Another decent-sized shipping week for me, with a total of six books. But yet again, nothing really jumped out at me. Nothing was wrong with any of the books, I enjoyed them pretty much equally. But I just didn’t feel like recommending any as a pick for the week. So for a record fourth week [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 2-17-10
A decent size week of releases this week, 5 in total for me. All were enjoyable, but for some reason nothing really stood out. And for the third week in a row, I decided to go with a trade paperback pick. Not only that, but it’s a first for it’s kind here at the site, [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 2-10-10
A small week of releases this week again, with just three books purchased. None really caught my attention as must-buys, so for the second week in a row, I’m going ahead with a trade-paperback pick.
Your pick for this week is Proposition Player, written by Bill Willingham (of Fables fame) with art by Paul Guinan. With [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 2-3-10
A small week of releases this week for me, a total of 3 books in all. And while all of them were good, ones I really enjoyed (for those wondering the books were: The Question #37, Siege #2, and Criminal The Sinners #4), none of them really seemed to strike me for a pick this [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-27-10
A large week of releases this week, with a pretty average level of quality. Honestly, nothing truly stood out, but my pick for the week had just enough that it got the nod.
Your pick for this week is Daredevil #504. Continuing the new direction the new creative team has cooked up, this issue pleasantly surprised [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-20-10
A huge week of releases this week, with a ton of great reads. With all that said, one book really stood out, and deserves some extra attention.
Your pick for the week is Joe the Barbarian #1. Continuing Vertigo’s commitment to bringing you 1st issues at the low price of just $1, this series from the [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-13-10
A very small week of releases this week for me, only a total of two books. Usually that will mean a trade-paperback selection for my pick of the week. This week though, one of the books really seemed to resonate and really deserved to be highlighted. What was it you ask? Read on.
Your pick this [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-6-10
A small but good week of releases this first week of 2010. With two books really rising to the top on a three issue/one trade paperback week, that’s saying something. So lets see what got my attention this week.
First up this week is Stumptown #2. A quick aside about this series, just as Jason forgot [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 12-30-09 or, The Ettatorial Year-Ender
Well folks, it’s time for the last Ettatorial of the year. And this finale for 2009 couldn’t have been any better scheduled. Why you ask? Well, Diamond Comics Distributors made this week a shipping skip week, making it so no new releases came out (well, except DC’s massive hit Blackest Night #6, but that was [...]
