Seaguy 3. I’m thoroughly depressed. Forgot how rough Morrison ends it. A fantastic amount of content. Morrison and Stewart sync beautifully.

Seaguy 2. It’s so good. Morrison fits a lot into the issue, sure, but he has these amazing big action sequences then devastating quiet ones.

Sure, it is just a five pager (plus an excerpt from the first issue), but it is hilarious. A shame Diamond doesn’t carry the book.

Da fug! A great book. It’s funny, but also strange enough to be thought-provoking. Stewart’s art is a perfect fit. Just fantastic.
Uncanny X-Men 506

Really, a Godzilla gag? Fraction is phoning it in, competently sure, but why care about it? He clearly doesn’t. Ugly art.
Uncanny X-Men 505
July 5th, 2009 - Respond
Is it possible for this issue to be more confusing? Probably, but not likely. The art’s loose and bad. Some good moments.
Uncanny X-Men 504

The writing is solid, but there are way too many reveals. The Dodson art drives me nuts. Nightcrawler is a bigotted jerk.
The Age of the Sentry 6

A full length “imaginary” story, but it’s really this profound look at Silver Age superhero dynamics. Amazing read.
The Age of the Sentry 5
July 3rd, 2009 - Respond
Could anything top the ad? The LSH stuff is fun and nice. The second story’s much better, a 1960s Lois Lane homage
The Age of the Sentry 4
July 3rd, 2009 - Respond
The Golden Age Sentry story is a Marvel remix of all the DC Earth Two stories of the 1970s. Second story’s fun too.
The Age of the Sentry 3

Great stuff, but the second story, being so peculiar, overpowers the first. It is just a lovely book, perfect tone.
The Age of the Sentry 2
July 2nd, 2009 - Respond
The first story is perfect, with the Superman parallels. But the second one gets a little too continuity conscious.

See, here BKV finishes his damn story before he does his cute little cliffhanger; all of sudden, it works.
Y the Last Man 22

Maybe I am just drunk, but Vaughan really brings it here. He gets a lot in–non-Yorick revelations, etc. Parlov is solid.
Y the Last Man 21

And now we’re back on track. Again, not a lot of present action (maybe five hours) but there is something very nice here.
Y the Last Man 20

I get it now: Vaughan is trying to get a TV job. Yawn. Forgot he was the most predictable writer working in comics. Crap.
Y the Last Man 19
June 28th, 2009 - Respond
The pacing’s better, I guess, but Vaughan is either just showing off his psych 101 class or he’s completely lost control.
Y the Last Man 18
June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Ew. The non-Yorick stuff was so much better than this. What the hell is Vaughan doing? It’s like he ad-libbed the script.

Y the Last Man 17. It’s supposed to be a cute little filler story? Yuck. They should’ve just waited for the regular artist to get caught up.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 16. What the heck is this? Tales from the world of Y? And the end is totally confusing. Nice art though. But it’s all filler.

Y the Last Man 15. I wonder how it’d read without the atrocious cliffhanger. But some rather nice scenes. Even if it’s a tangential subplot.

Y the Last Man 14. Damn it, Vaughan, slow down. He’s pacing out an action sequence here, not writing a comic. Dreading the cliffhangers now.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 13. It’s okay. Maybe I’m just not enjoying the ride enough; am I paying too much attention to Vaughan’s political commentary?

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 12. More of the same bad pacing. Vaughan’s trying way too hard and Yorick’s beard doesn’t make any sense. A real rough patch.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 11. I don’t know what to call the pacing except hideous. Seems like a sequel rather than a serial. Was Vaughan trade-writing?

Y the Last Man 10. Vaughan’s set up something here not many others have: the sibling nemeses. Excellent stuff. But another lame cliffhanger?

Y the Last Man 9. Vaughan recovers immediately. Getting sick of the constant cliffhangers though. Not a 1970s Marvel book, after all. Great.

Y the Last Man 8. Vaughan’s inane sense of morality (very Transformers) pops up here. It’s what ruined Ex Machina. Hope it doesn’t continue.

Y the Last Man 7. The pacing isn’t off, but something is… Vaughan’s spreading himself thin again, lots of ominous foreshadowing this time.
