Saturday, May 31st, 2008Well, as I promised last week, this week’s selection is not your normal pick(s) of the week. No, as you’re reading this, I’m lugging furniture and boxes around my wife and my new house, while you’re sitting comfortably in a chair-you know, it would have been nice if you at least offered to help us [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-21-08
Saturday, May 24th, 2008A huge week of releases this week, and pound for pound, one of the best in recent memory. A full compliment of books, ranging from a multitude of publishers, and the quality was at a high. While my individual write-up for each may prove a bit shorter for each than usual, just [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-14-08
Saturday, May 17th, 2008
A small week of releases for me this week, made smaller by the sell-out of Amazing Spider-Man at my store. Surprisingly though, even with the smaller amount of books picked up this week, two still rose to the top as picks for the week.
The first pick for the week is Casanova #14. [...]
Hulk Smashs, Internationally
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008The new International Hulk trailer is up. I really have no idea how I feel about the upcoming Hulk movie, all the footage I’ve seen so far really reminds me of the Ang Lee Hulk film. Is it too soon for another Hulk? Ed Norton is a great choice, but will he even be given [...]
A Man and his Monkey
Monday, May 12th, 2008
Thanks to Lying in the Gutters, and it’s writer, Rich Johnston for this exceptionally rare piece of information. It seems that once upon a time (or in this case, 1982) famous comic book writer Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) penned and illustrated a brief section in the “BJ and the [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-07-08
Saturday, May 10th, 2008A very small week of releases for me this week, only four, and every one of those was a Marvel book. Sadly, it seems a lot of the DC books I’ve enjoyed are switching creative teams or losing direction, and are losing me as a reader as a result. So you get [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-30-08
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008A nice bit of releases this week, highlighted with Free Comics Day on 5-02-08. So, even if you’re not in the mood for my picks for this week, hit your local comic shop to take part in Free Comics Day and pick up some excellent books for free (I recommend All Star Superman [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-23-08
Saturday, April 26th, 2008A very good week of releases this week, even with the fact that I couldn’t get two books. Diamond apparently thinks that when it ships books to stores that what a store orders is more like a suggestion than an order (hence why Batman isn’t going to have the chance to make [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-16-08
Saturday, April 19th, 2008A very good week of releases this week, making my choices for book(s) of the week difficult. I had as many as four picked, with others barely not making those, but seeing as I like to try to narrow down the picks, I managed to get the final number down to [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-09-08
Saturday, April 12th, 2008A tiny week of releases for yours truly, but that doesn’t mean the quality wasn’t there. Four books was all I got this week, and considering three out of four were good (come on, Countdown doesn’t count as good), that’s pretty good. But, only one was good enough for my pick this [...]
