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 [...]

Captain America Reborn Prelude
Normally I don’t get too excited about Marvel’s Digital Comics initiative (don’t get me wrong, digital may very well be the future, I just haven’t seen anything on the site I need to have), but I’m going to make an exception here. If you go to Marvel’s Reborn page, you can read FOR FREE [...]

The Ettatorial for the Week of 10-22-08
A huge week of releases this week, with both of the “Big 2″ trying to out-do the other with each of their respective “event” books. And while I purchased both of them (Secret Invasion and Final Crisis) you’ll notice neither one of them are up above as picks for the week. No, while both were [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 9-24-08
A decent sized week of releases this week made a pick/picks of the week difficult, and as such, three books out of a possible seven made the cut.
The first book this week is Avengers: The Initiative #17. I’ve said it many a time, this is easily one the best books Marvel publishes every single [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-27-08
A huge week of releases this week, with enough quality to make my selection process a bit on the difficult side. With books ranging from the craziness/high-concept of Morrison’s 3-D Final Crisis: Superman Beyond to the release (again) of all three Avengers books in one week, to very good issues of Daredevil, Thunderbolts and DC [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-20-08
A very nice week of releases this week, highlighted by my pick of the week. While there were quite a few books purchased, only one really rose to the top. A few came real close, Brave and the Bold and Captain America being two, but I decided to just go with one book this week.
The [...]
