The Age of the Sentry 5. 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. 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. The first story is perfect, with the Superman parallels. But the second one gets a little too continuity conscious.

@comicsfondle: Y the Last Man 23. 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.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 19. 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. Ew. The non…
June 28th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 18. 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.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
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.

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.

June 28th, 2009 - Respond
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, Va…
June 28th, 2009 - Respond
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.
Y the Last Man 13. It’s okay. …
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?
Y the Last Man 12. More of the…
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.
Y the Last Man 11. I don’t kno…
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?

June 27th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 10. Vaughan’s set up something here not many others have: the sibling nemeses. Excellent stuff. But another lame cliffhanger?

June 27th, 2009 - Respond
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.
Y the Last Man 6. And now he’s…
June 27th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 6. And now he’s back on track. Works a lot better with two threads instead of three. Pacing is not perfect. Fantastic though.

June 27th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 5. More iffy pacing as Vaughan ties the threads together. It would’ve been smoother as an A and B plot. Solid, but a decline.

June 27th, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 4. The pacing is off again, with Vaughan’s going for scenic effect more than narrative. Some outstanding moments in this one.

Y the Last Man 3. Good grief, it’s good. Vaughan can work stats into dialogue without make it seem expository. Great pacing too. Fantastic.

June 21st, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 2. He can’t top the first issue, doesn’t try. The pacing’s a little wonky, it’s only a couple scenes. But he delivers; great.

June 21st, 2009 - Respond
Y the Last Man 1. Is there a better first issue? I don’t think there is. I love how Vaughan still works in his pseudo-liberalism. Fantastic.
Swamp Thing 13

It’s an occasionally goofy issue, but incredibly well-paced. Seems to be Wein’s swan song to the series and it is good worm.
Swamp Thing 12
June 16th, 2009 - Respond
And now we’re back to the Wein standard–Swampy a supporting character in his own book. But it is pretty well paced. Decent.
Swamp Thing 11
June 16th, 2009 - Respond
Wein makes a solid shift for the new artist, it’d be impossible to imagine Wrightson drawing this script. Redondo does well.
