I was so sure Hawkeye was subbing for Daredevil! I was SO SURE. I would have bet money on it.
Completely by accident, Year One by the brilliant M. Parkinson who totally had Dan Slott’s back on the ‘Pull My Thing’ grassroots effort to keep the book from cancellation, proved me wrong. And proved [...]

All You Need to Know: New Avengers #22
July 28, 2006 – 12:00 pm
You know, this one was pretty good.
My complaints are mostly general, but after reading the Black Panther wedding, I kind of found this refreshing.
Yeah.
So, this issue starts out in Harlem, where Luke Cage and Jessica Jones have an apartment. Keep in mind Peter Parker lives in the Avengers Tower. Luke Cage… lives [...]
This is Not an Exit - Marvel’s Whammy of a What If?
July 24, 2006 – 1:16 am
Everybody have their copy of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man?
Didn’t think so. The series jumped out of the gate tied into a convoluted story arc that STILL hasn’t resolved (so Spider-Man died - again - and… everyone’s okay with that? What about the chick made out of spiders? Never mind.), had only one really ‘in continuity ’story [...]
I Did It All for the Cookie

July 6, 2006 – 11:20 pm
Sonic the Hedgehog. HUGE with kids. We barely get any for the store but there’s a steady stream of parents coming in and asking for that book by name with that deer-in-the-headlights look. In fact, that’s normally all they know. The parents that just say in a trembling voice, “…. Sonic? [...]
We Fought a Civil War for This? - Reviews for 7/6
July 5, 2006 – 11:44 pm
Still slowed down on these reviews, DC just ain’t giving it up these days. Not to mention my new love of new Doctor Who and some of the research I’m doing to shout out some statements. The Internet is serious business after all. Reviews!
Beyond! #1
ATTENTION MARVEL! Really. The mass graves thing is yawn-inducing by [...]
Wedding of the- Oh, Who Are We Kidding?
Man, the heat must make me mean or something.
As customers came up to the counter with their weekly pull or selections this Wednesday, I always like to throw in a little something just in case they’d forgotten something. “Hey, Civil War #3 came out” or “Oh, don’t forget that the Justice issue out there [...]
