  • Rich\'s Pull list - 23rd December 2009

    Posted on Monday December 21st, 2009 at 09:06 in dc, marvel, pull list

    Clearly still trying to adapt to the new schedule, hence the almost complete lack of posts. I think at this point I'll aim for normality (or as close as we get round these parts) in the new year. In the meantime, it's a relatively sedate week at the ...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 16 December 2009

    I'll see if I can manage more than one post this week. No promises. A big week, too...Batman: Streets of Gotham #7 -Passable but not great - and sadly I'm not picking it up just for the Manhunter backup. Dropped.Green Lantern Corps #43 - Red Lantern ...

    Posted on Wednesday December 9th, 2009 at 08:55 in dc, marvel, pull list

    Still a little bit sleep deprived (but for the best of reasons) so don't expect too many regular updates this week - but the pull list tomorrow looks like this...Action Comics #884 - More interested in the backup than the main feature now that Captai...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 25th November 2009

    Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 08:04 in dc, marvel, pull list

    Assuming I don't get a sprog dropped on me this week, here's what I'll be getting (although having a root canal on Wednesday may mean I don't make it to the comic store, sadly...) - it's a pretty big week but at least there are some last issues in th...

    Posted on Tuesday November 17th, 2009 at 08:03 in dc, green arrow, black canary, dan didio

    I'm doing one of those things that I do.You know, the ones where I put together random pieces of information and postulate on what they mean.And, more often than not, I'm completely, utterly wrong. In this case, I certainly hope I'm wrong.Anyway, Dan...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 11th November 2009

    Posted on Monday November 9th, 2009 at 08:00 in dc, marvel, pull list

    After last week's respite this could be another big week - which means the Purge continues!Action Comics #883 - Like I've said, I'm sticking with the Superman books. The Reactron crossover was, surprisingly, pretty good so I hope that trend continues...

    Posted on Monday November 2nd, 2009 at 07:48 in dc, marvel, pull list

    The Purge continues this week, although honestly it's a pretty small week anyway - even so, there's one big cut on here for me.SUPERMAN: WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON #9 - This is still a good read and a solid exploration of exactly what makes Superman - well...

  • A Brutal Week #1: Blackest Night Titans

    Posted on Thursday October 29th, 2009 at 10:14 in dc, titans, blackest night, hawk and dove, ed benes

    It's been a damn brutal week in comics - and I mean really brutal.Take Blackest Night: Titans #3.Say what you will about Ed Benes art (such as 'cheesecake' and 'posed') but the man can draw some pretty powerful stuff when he puts his mind to it. I'm ...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 28th October 2009: The Purge Begins

    Posted on Sunday October 25th, 2009 at 20:05 in dc, marvel, pull list, the purge

    This is the week. The week that The Purge starts. There's just too many books to buy - and between the (a few years late) realization last week at BACC that you can pick up a lot of recent books for 50cents or a buck if you wait a few months, and the...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 21st October 2009

    It could be a big week...Batman: Streets of Gotham #5 - Huntress takes the spotlight. That's good in my book as she's one character that's been a little lost in the recent Batshuffle.Blackest Night: Superman #3 - The Batman series ended badly, but I ...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - 14th October 2009

    Posted on Tuesday October 13th, 2009 at 08:03 in dc, marvel, pull list

    At least I think it's the 14th. It may be the 15th - I'm never sure if Columbus Day counts as a holiday for comic shipping delays; all I know is that it counts as a holiday for me, so I'm good with that. Anyway...could be a massive week.Action Comics...

    I'm even stupider than I thought. I accidentally added this to be posted in the PM instead of the AM, which means that my last post makes little sense. Maybe now it will.After what has been a heavy few weeks, this one is finally a little smaller.Batm...

    Posted on Friday October 2nd, 2009 at 07:56 in dc, teen titans, jla, martian manhunter, miss martian

    Over at Newsarama there's a preview of the awesomely terrible (not the same thing as terribly awesome) Justice League: Cry for Justice #4, where Miss Martian is confronted by Green Arrow villain Brick, in spite of him being pretty solidly killed a fe...

  • Rich\'s Pull List - September 30th 2009

    Posted on Monday September 28th, 2009 at 08:29 in dc, marvel, pull list

    Not quite as bad as the last few weeks - thankfully:Blackest Night: Titans #2 (of 3) - I cannot explain why I like the Titan titles. Like I've said before, I find a lot of the cast incredibly dull and don't have the attachment to them that a lot of W...

  • ...Justice! (League of America)

    Posted on Thursday September 24th, 2009 at 08:32 in Batman, Monkeys, dc, superman, avengers, titans, teen titans, jla

    Last week's DC books ran an ad revealing the JLA line up for the upcoming James Robinson/ Mark Bagley run on the book which, apparently, spins out of Robinson's unintentionally amusing Justice League: Cry for Justice mini.For those that can't make ou...

  • Smallville's Cat Grant

    Posted on Wednesday September 23rd, 2009 at 09:33 in TV, disney, dc, superman, lois lane, smallville

    Sanctuary's Emilie Ullerup has apparently been cast as Cat Grant in the upcoming season of Smallville.She's pretty.The role appears to be for one episode only at the moment, so hopefully this version of the future Daily Planet gossip columnist can av...

    Jeez, another big week after last week's hammering.Blackest Night: Superman #2 - Yes, its a tie-in but sometimes a good old-fashioned slugfest is what you need. Personally I'm rooting for a Black Lantern Streaky the Supercat.Detective Comics #857 - ...

  • Once again, nothing of interest happened yesterday.

    Posted on Thursday September 10th, 2009 at 08:16 in blogging, dc

    Just like last week, nothing of note happened yesterday.Or at least, nothing that will hugely affect the comics you pick up week to week.How it affects the creation of those comics, and the approval process associated with it, is, I suspect, a differ...

  • Rich's Pull List - 10th September 2009

    Posted on Tuesday September 8th, 2009 at 07:23 in dc, marvel, pull list

    It's refreshing to have that extra day off (thank you, Labor Day), but that means that new comic day in the US is Thursday, not Wednesday...Adventure Comics #2 - The adventures of Superman when he was a boy, only not. This is off to a good, if unspec...

  • Pleasantly surprised

    Posted on Thursday September 3rd, 2009 at 08:11 in art, dc, jla

    I haven't had a chance to read everything I picked up yesterday, although I was pleasantly surprised by Justice League: Cry for Justice #3 - even if Hal, Ray, Ollie and Supergirl all came off as completely out of character, and I still think that the...

  • Dance, little Pyg, dance!

    Posted on Friday August 28th, 2009 at 07:35 in art, Batman, Robin, dc, grant morrison, frank quitely

    Batman and Robin has been quite amusing so far. It's always fun to see a good artist try and make a coherent comic out of Grant Morrison's stories, and Frank Quitely has a good stab at it, leading to a book that's fun and readable. When Phillip Tan t...
