I think I picked up this book by Grant Morrison at the comics exhibition at the British Museum. I have read a few comics by Morrison, like Joe the Barbarian and All Star Superman. I enjoyed both. So in the post-script to the paperback edition, he describes Supergods as a subjective history. Ah ha ha … Continue reading
Yay! Comics for Christmas! Winter Soldier Ed Brubaker OMG ALL THE FEELS. Ahem. So I had never read this series but it was one of my xmas presents. So good! The massive graphic novels follows Bucky Barnes, tracking down those who were like him and the people buying them on the blackmarket! Doom shows up … Continue reading
Christmas is coming so I’m reading all the comics I haven’t read in the expectation of more comics! Science: ruining everything since 1543 Zach Weinersmith For the uninitiated, this is the collection of comics from Sunday Morning Breakfast Cereal. It has many of the science-based hits that the webcomic has to offer and there were … Continue reading
Revival Tim Seeley, Mike Norton I got volumes 3 and 4 for my birthday and the plot thickens! More crazy shenanigans, the only lead Dana has for the murder of her sister gets killed himself and what is with the glowy dudes? Also all the upheaval seems to be dredging up old and new and … Continue reading
Yeah, I’ve been slacking. Young Avengers Kieron Gillen, Kate Brown, Jamie McKelvie, Mike Norton I picked this up because I bought many comics when I went to the Comics Unmasked exhibition at the British Library. It was ace! I want to read more (which is the best thing to have after reading a comic). I … Continue reading
Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard volume 2 I realise I haven’t read volume 1 yet but I can catch up. I love Mouse Guard and this volume is beautiful. It has stories from various writers and artists (including one of my favourites, Stan Sakai) all woven together in the narrative of patrons of a … Continue reading
Hawkeye: Little hits Matt Fraction, David Aja I loved the trade paperback of Hawkeye: My life as a weapon and I loved this. Clint just gets into ALL the trouble – with gangsters, with his friends, with his girlfriend, with the Avengers. It’s complex but also astoundingly funny. There is one panel where he just … Continue reading
Avengers: Endless Wartime Warren Ellis, Mike McKone, Jason Keith I picked this up randomly because it was by Warren Ellis. It was pretty good. The story fused a bit of history from both Captain American from 1944 and Thor and some weird creature from Asgard. They had to fight the fused monster that was begotten … Continue reading
Having just recently read the first volume of Saga (got it for Christmas) I had to very quickly read volume 2. Saga is a graphic novel created by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples, published by Image. Holy shit is it awesome. So what’s it about? It’s sort of star crossed lovers but epically strange … Continue reading
Usagi Yojimbo is one of my favourite comic series. It’s run for many years and is up to volume 27. I am awaiting volume 26 to read and then I shall have read them all! Not part of the series (I suppose) is a one off book called Space Usagi which follows the adventures of … Continue reading
