Avengers by Brian...

Mike Mike said: "My review will be spotty as I'm reading this interleaved with the rest of the Avengers vs. X-Men event books.

There's some weird Geoff Johns-style fanboy stuff showing up in this book - Thor's entrance and speech patterns for one - and I wonder if it'...more

Casanova: Gula

Mike Mike said: "So much fun. Toppogrosso's Secret Cinema is brutal, sly, chilling stuff. Fraction's way with adjectives is superb: "Now he whore his genius out to the highest blood-spattered bidder." Moon conveys emotional layers in a pair of panels that some would...more "

Spider-Man by Joe Quesada
I do NOT understand why Joe Quesada felt compelled to meddle in any of the Spidey story. His shit is so melodramatic and pointless - like he wanted to say something meaningful but didn't actually have anything specific he wants to report to the world...more
Happy! by Grant Morrison
" Short & sweet. A 4-issue mini-series that's pretty straightforward for Morrison (no "meta-" angle, no need to use drugs to understand the story), and the art style by Darick Robertson is a good fit with the storyline: Gritty & dark. And so... " Read more of this review »

Grant Morrison
“Imagine the earth’s population of six billion people reduced to just one hundred representatives. Statistically, that makes 30 white, 70 non-white. It means 6 people own 59% of the wealth and they all live in North America. 80 are in substandard housing. One has an education. One owns a computer. Don’t blame me if it all sounds crazy.”
Grant Morrison

Warren Ellis
“The single simplest reason why human space flight is necessary is this, stated as plainly as possible: keeping all your breeding pairs in one place is a retarded way to run a species.”
Warren Ellis

Dennis Lehane
“You've learned that every good lie is threaded with truth and every accepted truth leaks lies.”
Dennis Lehane

“Here in Britain, of course, it's Thank Fuck We Got Those Weird Jesus Bastards On The Boat Day”

“Having shot Stilt Man in the taint with a bazooka -- I'�ve come to realize every character is somebody�s favorite character.”
