So once I have, it will be read, reviewed, and spewed.Jonathan Gelatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401389126033117427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281001892066804055.post-56336689071636288352010-06-28T14:04:30.632-04:002010-06-28T14:04:30.632-04:00Every time I strut into a comic shop I flirt with ...Every time I strut into a comic shop I flirt with buying this new Shed series. Is it just a mini series that I can pick up in trade soon enough? Or an on going arc that I better jump into now?<br /><br />Also, has anydude read and reviewed Greendale, the Neil Young adapt-comic in this forum?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932389657413184068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281001892066804055.post-43057005384909086012010-06-25T18:14:59.628-04:002010-06-25T18:14:59.628-04:00Jon -- love your ASM review.

The secondary artist doesn't deliver nearly anywhere as good as Bachalo does. Plus, the Lizard taking full control of Connors and killing his kid? Master stroke. I think you're right: of all the arcs in The Gauntlet, this is by far the best one. <br /><br />Oh and I haven't even touched my copy of New Avengers for that same fact. On cursory glance, I saw a lot of bubbles. Sigh. I just hope Bendis doesn't go the way of Millar. Then we'd have a real shitstorm on our hands.Brian Bannenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075615904930286038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281001892066804055.post-63211611658259888382010-06-24T16:58:36.133-04:002010-06-24T16:58:36.133-04:00Morrison seems to do it right, but almost too righ...Morrison seems to do it right, but almost too right. He'll tends to only use dialogue to explain something the reader can't see, but it's annoying because then it takes me EXTRA long to read and understand a freakin' Batman comic.Tim Muccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302772860271992330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281001892066804055.post-8083734985800989232010-06-24T16:49:26.956-04:002010-06-24T16:49:26.956-04:00Yeah!

It drives me bonkers that he mainly gets praised for his dialogue. Yeah, I guess of course he does; after all, the only thing going on in most Bendis-books is TALKING, followed by more talking, followed by talking during a fight, followed by talking about the fight. <br /><br />They read like radio scripts.

I'm looking at you Green Arrow. As Mamet says, two people talking about a third is shit, but I'd like to extend it to two people talking about the plot should NEVER HAPPEN!Tim Muccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302772860271992330noreply@blogger.com
