A Moment of Comics

A page from Flashpoint by Geoff Johns. Pencils by Andy Kubert, inks by Sandra Hope and Jesse Delperdang (who I have to admit nicely spruce up Kubert's art which usually leaves me cold). I read this over again hoping to publish (or republish) some work based on this limited series. Might have been a bad idea. I finished it again, and now my head is hurting like Barry Allen's.

Been Waiting to Do This One

My Comic Book Haiku on Flashpoint Beyond #0 just got published at The Ugly Monster.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

Now that I'm almost done posting these reviews, I feel less proud of these "By-The-Numbers" reviews. They served their purpose, but they're like CinemaSins without ever hearing a "ding." Still, it was fun to write them at the time. That's how I was able to get this out before my time was done at the site. I just don't see myself ever doing another one. I'll still tackle the Identity Crisis mini-series someday, just not as a By-The-Numbers. Hope you liked them for what they were. Originally published October 3, 2013. Edited for clarity. Additional note: Number 4. had twice the number of links, but I choose not to link some of that work this time around.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of New 52's Detective Comics #1-4

My first review documenting the first of many disappointments from the New 52. Disappointed that I never made the prediction that the Jokerface story was going to be resolved in Snyder's more popular Batman book. Originally published December 13, 2011. Edited for clarity and spelling corrections.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of Flashpoint #5

Oh, wow. I have fun writing this. I put all my aggravation with modern comics into this piece. I started out claiming I was going to "get this over with,"but I kept going on because it was too much fun.

Sometimes the way you can destroy a feisty critic is to have them write about something they like. That might be true, but it's still fun to be feisty. 

Originally published September 8, 2011. Edited slightly for clarification, formatting, spelling and grammatical errors. And I changed a link to go directly to my friend, John Roberson. I appreciate that he read my stuff often. Thanks for believing in me, sir.

I Had Issues! My Old Review of Flashpoint #4

Oh, this is when the fun began as a comics reviewer. I hate event comics, but I jumped into the whole Flashpoint and New 52 deluge with wild abandon. These were the reviews I had the most fun writing. Another "By-The-Numbers" style review, which were even more fun to do (and helpful when I was on deadline). Originally published August 30, 2011. Edited for grammar and clarification.
