Opinion: High Moon
Comparing web to print, the pages look better online, since they were designed to have light coming from behind them. However, on paper, you can read at your own pace, without having to look at the stupid Zuda eyeballs between every page as a new one loads. As a minor point, I found it odd that no...

Showcase Presents: Ambush Bug
Ambush Bug is the only one who sees Superman and Clark Kent as the same, since he has no respect for any rules (of society, of logic, of fiction). Yet he also arrests a car for invalid parking. The whole thing is a way to make fun of comic book trends. Giffen and Fleming indict those who seek to be mea...

Spinner Rack: 2009 Gold Free Comic Book Day Titles
Blackest Night #0 (DC Comics) — Fans have told me that the Green Lantern stories have been some of the best superhero comics DC has been putting out lately. You couldn’t prove it by this. I felt much like the Flash character, who’s been gone for too long and who no longer knows who any of the playe...

Opinion: The DC Comics Encyclopedia, Updated and Expanded

There are at least 50 new pages of material spread throughout the book, including at least 60 new entries. Most of the major characters have one or two pages added to their entries, and the Encyc...

Opinion: Final Crisis #1
If they don’t care, why should we? And why should I have to have a computer handy just to enjoy a comic book story? Consider this, publishers: if your comics can’t be understood without resorting to the internet, don’t be so surprised when readers decide to stop buying the book and just down...
