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”, [...]

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 [...]

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.

Avengers Power Review #2

Again with this Mighty New Initiative we all know and love, and it wont be long before we’re dealing with one that only has ONE writer staying put! Well, okay, two, but Gage is just co-writing. That’s right, after the Invasion Bendis is moving off of Mighty Avengers and on to the new Dark Avengers [...]

REVIEW: Ms Marvel Annual #1

Ms. Marvel Annual #1 is like a Marvel Adventures book. I don’t mean it in a bad way. I mean it in the easy to read, plots aren’t too complicated, simply but simply drawn, one-issue story, way. No worrying about the issues before or after.

REVIEW: Marvel Apes #1

Writer: KARL KESEL
Artist: RAMON BACHS
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Marvel goes Bananas. (Always wanted to say that! LOL)
Yes, Marvel Apes is here! And it’s not a hoax, not a dream, not an imaginary story, or even a joke. It was quite good actually! I have to admit, I actually laughed a few times. Doc Ook? [...]

The Gold Standard #4

*Sorry for the slight delay, Labor Day weekend threw me for a bit of a loop*

Two weeks ago, Manolis asked me to do a review for Secret Invasion #5, and to recap the mini in the process. I did some rereading of the first five issues to try and sum it all up and I [...]

Avengers Power Review

Are you ready for the Mighty New Initiative? I know I am. I considered reviewing all three of these books separately, but when I realized that two of them were flashback tie-ins to Secret Invasion, and the other was simply a great read, I decided to throw them all into one post to cut back [...]
