The Gold Standard #15
A good topic to talk about is hard to come up with, believe me, I know. This is the fourth different attempt I’ve made at writing a Standard this week, and I’m not even sure if this is going to be the final draft. I always get to thinking about what books are “must read”, [...]
The Gold Standard #14
Hello faithful readers! It’s time for week number fourteen of the Standard! Can you believe it? Fourteen weeks! It feels like only yesterday I was biting my nails hoping that I’d be able to get the job writing her, and panicing that Manolis hated my writing (when the reality is that he was just busy [...]
Gold Standard Special Edition #2
The Marvel and DC solicits for January came out a week or so ago, so I gathered together a small group for a bit of a round table.
We’ve got the Nexus’ own Aaron Glazer!
There’s my buddy, and a GM from the message boards I regular; Logan!
And my personal graphics man, the master of Photoshop, Proto!
Now [...]
The Gold Standard #13
Consistency. That’s the word that’s been on my mind for weeks now. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine, which is in large part due to my being incredibly anal. I need thinks to make sense in both their plot as well as the flow. Movies, TV, books, video games, life, etc. Everything needs to [...]
The Gold Standard #12
If you know me, then you know of my man crush for Robert Kirkman. Invincible is one of my favorite titles, I enjoyed his Marvel Team Up, I own the trades of Brit, I like Walking Dead, oh, and my desktop background? Eric O’Grady. I’ve compared his writing to that of Brian Bendis, only to [...]
The Gold Standard #11
I read Spider-Man in the nineties. You know, the era people called complete utter hell. I read Maximum Carnage, and the Clone Saga, Identity Crisis, the Final Chapter, the Howard Mackie and John Byrne relaunch. I sat through everything that’s been called a horrible time in Spider-Man, and yet I still think fondly back on [...]
The Gold Standard #10
Got to thinking last week about wasted potential. Let’s not get into the origins of the thought, because nobody needs to hear that, trust me, but it shifted onto me reading and shaking my head at some things I saw. Understand, I love the concept of bringing a new, original character. It strengthens the industry, [...]
REVIEW: Superman #680
Written by James Robinson
Art by Renato Guedes
For years Krypto has been a running gag of the Superman line. I mean, a super powered dog? Come on, that’s just dumb. Why would Superman need a dog with his powers? A dog that could easily kill most of Metropolis by accident while chasing after a truck or [...]
The Gold Standard #9
Generally I try to reserve my Standards for being about my favorite things in comics, or the things that I like; you know, things that have standards. This week I don’t think I can do that though, no. This week I need to cover something that isn’t good, and you know what, it isn’t even [...]
REVIEW: All-Star Superman #12
Reviewing this book is really no small task, and I’ve spent the better part of a week trying to figure out just how to start it. I’ve been raving about this book since the first issue hit shelves and lived up to all of my expectations, it’s a silver age tale told in modern settings. It’s super science and completely crazy adventures, and it’s Superman at power levels that he’ll never hit again in mainstream continuity. And it’s amazing. In fact, the worst part about it? It was only planned for twelve issues.
