So About Batman Incorporated #8…
| March 5, 2013 | Posted by Jess under Comics |
[Uh, spoilers, if you've somehow managed to avoid them up 'til now.] So they killed Damian Wayne. I am physically incapable of sighing as much as I believe that particular plot development merits. Look. I don’t read Batman Inc. or any other Batman titles, save for the only tangentially-related Batwoman. I’ve never read Batman and…
Back Issue Bin Review: Green Lantern v2
| January 29, 2013 | Posted by Jess under Back Issue Bin Review, Comics |
Time for another blast from the DCU’s past! Green Lantern v2 is the classic Silver Age Hal Jordan run. After a successful three-issue introduction in Showcase1, Hal was given his own series, which ran from 1960 to 1988, with one four-year hiatus and several official and unofficial renamings. It introduced not just Hal and his…
Back Issue Bin Review: Infinity, Inc. v1
| December 5, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Back Issue Bin Review, Comics |
I had been meaning to read Infinity, Inc. for ages, because Power Girl! Huntress! Jade! Uh…some other people! I finally got around to it so that I could write about Jade – and then of course I forgot to blog about it for ages, and now I have kind of forgotten what I wanted to…
Back Issue Bin Review: Batman and the Outsiders v3
| October 29, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Back Issue Bin Review, Comics |
Coming at you from Hurricaneville to finish up my jaunt through every Outsiders back issue! I’ve bundled the Outsiders-related comics from 2003-2011 into one post because they published continuously with overlapping team members, but the team had several different lineups, series names, and creative teams during that time. Rather than try to discuss it all…
Pull List, Redux
| September 25, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Comics, Ladytexts |
Back in February, I talked about the state of my pull list six months after the reboot. Now that we’re a year into the DCnU, I thought I’d check in again. So! Here’s what I’m reading and how I’m liking it: Batwoman: Batwoman’s an interesting comic for me, because…well, I like cheerful comics with straightforward,…
A Summer in the Right Direction
| September 21, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Celebrities, Comics, Disney, Ladytexts, Movies |
This past weekend Women Write About Comics did a Summer Movie Wrap-Up Carnival, and, well, as my friends can tell you, I’m always late to parties. Part of my lateness stems from the fact that this weekend was Rosh Hashanah, and I was busy celebrating with the fam (and baking challah from scratch, WHAT WHAT!)…
Does Not Compute
| August 31, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Comics |
So there’s a meme going around the internets called “The Idiot Nerd Girl,” which is basically predicated on the idea that if a girl says she’s nerdy or that she likes a traditionally geeky thing, it’s totally okay for geek dudes to hostilely quiz her on nerd trivia until she proves her chops. (Side note:…
Back Issue Bin Review: Batman and the Outsiders v2
| August 21, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Back Issue Bin Review, Comics |
Last time on Back Issue Bin Review, I talked about the first incarnation of the Outsiders team. Since (as you may have guessed from the title) I’m working my way through all the Outsiders runs, Volume 2 is up next. This run, typically designated as Outsiders v2, ran for 24 issues from 1993-1995. It was…
Back Issue Bin Review: Batman and the Outsiders v1
| July 31, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Back Issue Bin Review, Comics |
Since I started reading comics nearly ten (whew) years ago, I’ve plowed through a lot of complete runs of series. And I usually don’t talk about them, which is quite frankly pretty silly. After all, I review books, movies, TV shows, Broadway plays, and concerts – why not the form of media that I quite…
The Amazing Spider-Gwen
| July 10, 2012 | Posted by Jess under Comics |
Somewhere in the haze of last week’s confusing schedule (one sick day, one half day, and one holiday left me never knowing where I was or what I was doing), I saw The Amazing Spider-Man. And I thought it was pretty good! It didn’t win my heart the way Avengers did, but that’s okay; I’ve…
