Capsule Reviews, 12/19/08

This week, a number of smaller books like Ex Machina and Age of Sentry. I also brave the dreaded Bendis, Slott finishes up on Avengers: Intiative, and Walking Dead comes out yet again this month! Finally, DC pisses me off more than Marvel by ruining Anarky in Robin. Thunderbolts, Fables, Doktor Sleepless and Deadpool finish round out the week. This was supposed to be a light week. I think I read too many books.

From Inside my own Thought Bubbles

Welcome to the inside of my thought bubbles. I’m Aaron Glazer, as you no doubt noticed (giving you a bit of credit to start) and I used to write East of Gotham and comic reviews for the Nexus. Well, after awhile that all fell apart because, you see, despite a passion for comics and some really great feedback, I always thought I kind of sucked. So, never one to settle for mediocrity, I took a hiatus and focused on my Pulse Wrestling writing for the time being.

REVIEW: Captain America #36

Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artists: Butch Guice and Mike Perkins
Marvel Comics

If it seems I review Captain America a lot lately, well, there’s probably a reason for that: this book is great. This issue is all about Bucky’s transition into being the new Captain America, mostly through a big fight scene, yet Brubaker still packs in [...]

REVIEW: The Last Defenders #1

The Last Defenders #1
Writers: Joe Casey and Keith Giffen
Pencils: Joe Muniz
Inks: Cam Smith
Considering Casey wrote the wildly underrated classic Wildcats 3.0 and Giffen is the man behind JLI, when they decided to take on their self-professed Ultimate Defender’s story, it had to be worth a look. Speaking of underrated, we seem to be [...]
