Old comic reviews!

Covering Cataclysm Ultimate Spider-man 1, Fearless Defenders 11 and 12, Sex Criminals 1 -3, Revival 15, Adventures of Superman (can't remember the number), Hawkeye (can't remember the number), Larfleeze 3.

Probably not got any spoilers ahead because they came out so long ago I've forgotten the details!



Cataclysm Ultimate Spider-man 1
As I said in my review of #3, this is better than the previous Ultimate Spidey issues.  And that's all I can remember.


Fearless Defenders 11 and 12
I am absolutely gutted this series has ended.  Despite the occasioanlly dodgy art, this is the series that I would, without a doubt, hand to new readers of comics, who like adventure stories, smart women and fun writing.  Fearless Defenders is absolutley bloody fabulous and it's a bloody disgrace it's been cancelled.

Sex Criminals 1 -3
This series is great and has beautiful depictions of orgasms.  It's not about people who committ sex offences.  It's about two people who stop time whenever they orgasm so use that opportunity to rob a bank.  It's clearly not suitable for kids, but it's not smutty or filthy either.  It's a breath of fresh air.

Revival 15
Much like issue 16, I have no bloody clue what's going on here.

Adventures of Superman (can't remember the number) and Hawkeye (can't remember the number)
I can't remember what happened in these issues.

Larfleeze 3
All I remember of this is humourous dialogue and Scott Kolins beautiful art.  Worth buying. 4/5.

Another week, another set of reviews (and a Bamf session)

I guested on Radio Bamf again on Sunday. I feel a lot more positive about this episode, although I have come to realise that I suck at verbally summarising and reviewing books. I’m much better responding to other people’s thoughts and ideas. Anyways I had fun, I think it was a good show, so go have listen to episode 15 either at the website or  on Youtube (with automatic captions) and iTunes.  Links are on the we Are Arcade page.

Thanks again to the Bamf team for having me on. Catch them on twitter and facebook.

Now read ahead for comic reviews and spoilers of Supergirl/Prysm Double shot, Signs and Voices, Professor Elemental, Adventures of Superman 1, JLA 4, X-Men 1, Fearless Defenders 4 and Princeless # 3 (second volume).

Super Silly Sunday

Adventures of Superman 638 went a little odd and gave us a few spoofs of various other well known comics.  Check them out:


The top one is a Frank Miller - Sin City piss take (lethal little Dinah - ha!).  The second is Calvin and Hobbes and I don't recognise the third, but I did enjoy it!

Super Silly Sunday



It's nice when Clark can mock himself.  However, I think if he comes up with a name it will always be embarassing.  It's like giving yourself a nickname.  It won't stick.

Super Silly Sunday

The fun with this is more in the background to the story.  It's an altenrative dream reality where the Joker rules.  Lois is now his Empress.  Batman is a dog.  Superman is a dog.  Supergirl is a cat.  Superboy is Beppo the super-monkey!



Ha!

It's the inane look of glee on his face that does it.

Nonsenical trade decisions

It appears that best issues of the Adventures of Superman run have not been collected into trade.  This is infuriating.

Which are htese I hear you cry?  Well it's the hero-ville saga, from these issues:



 And then there's the double Mxy story, from these issues:

I is not best pleased with this.  Harrumph.
