We Have Review Sign! – Reviews for 3/29

Welp, due to poor working conditions, looks like you’re on your own for last week’s books.  Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much.
Also, DC only sent us four preview books and I still only managed to read two, so the last are sort of Snap Guesses.  Enjoy!

Captain America 65th Anniversary Special
Anniversary Special?  This isn’t an Anniversary [...]

Crazy Town

Okay, I’m not the gossipy type, but to let you kindly folks know… it’s been a long day.  Reviews are forthwith (despite the fact I seem to be missing some of my notes…), but probably slow going.
We now return you to your next over-hyped Marvel ‘company wide’ event.

Living in a Creepy World

For the record, I try not to write about customers, no matter how off the wall they can get while working in ‘The Biz’.
But.
There’s the guy who comes into the store who just gives off the wrong vibes. He’s a creepy guy and working at a comic shop, you tend to get these guys. [...]

Tah-Dah! Reviews for 3/15

You know, I could have had these out a bit sooner, but… DevilDucky. I know, I’m a little slow on finding these things. =) Not to mention other momentous occasions.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIR! To Mike and his sibling and anyone else he knows that might be having a birthday around now. Just [...]

Let the Puppets Sing!

No, seriously, it’s a small world.
I can look Neil Patrick Harris in the eye and ask for ID for his credit card.  I can actively ignore Mark Hamil when he was last seen in the store (gimme a break on this one, he was wearing a old trenchcoat, a battered hat and something on his [...]

Won’t Someone Think of the Children?

NEWSARAMA – MARVEL DEBUTS CIVIL WAR TRAILER ONLINE
I’ll be honest. I love Marvel too much to be a real Zombie anymore. I want my quality product. I want editors who conference. I want basic continuity. I want a lot of things. I’m needy.
So, with a wince, I went [...]

Almost Preview Reviews – comics for 3/8

Sure, someone could read these before they go get their books, so watch out.  Could be spoilers.
BAM!  Review time!

New X-Men #24
I like Psylocke better in New X-Men than the Uncanny version.  No kinky stretching sessions for you, reader!  Why does this look familiar to me for some reason? The school bus from last issue really [...]

Whatchu Gonna Do?

Okay, I’m sick, my computer’s sick and there’s no reviews for last week’s previews. And as I vaccumed to open the store this morning, I thought about how I was going to justify it to myself that I failed in my New Year’s Resolution (which was, to review the Preview Books every week). [...]

Dead of Morning – Excuses for 3/1

Wow.  I am sick a dog, folks.  Dog sick.  Yik sick.  But no!  I got to work everyday, I do my duty and neither rain, nor cold, nor back pain or unpleasant illness nor misspelling or improper names of creators and the humiliation that follows will keep me from my appointed rounds!  Read on and [...]
