ROB review pre hype
Siege cabal buying because regardless of it neutering a lot of other characters I sort of like Norman Osborne himself. Yeah he’s the bad guy but he’s the only one who’s DONE ANYTHING FOR a year. Also it’s Bendis I’m trebly hard on Bendis. I genuinely cannot stand much of what he writes. I read two pages of this and did NOT want to bash myself in the nuts with a hammer. SO he’s done his job and deserves a fair shake. It is after all not like he’s never written anything good.
Hulk Winter guard 1 ok you KNEW I would buy this but I’ve got doubts. I see Red Guard in and NOT Vanguard on the cover…Dear Marvel for Christ’s sake it’s bad enough their not called soviet Super soldier’s any more please bring back Vanguard
TORCH 3 OR 4 EH PRETTY GOOD but I could sell that idea better if I REMEMERED last issue at all

YAG i've done all the work I CAN till I get an en=-mail from the boss. Meanwhile anybody know anybody at DC I'VE got a great idea for a 1 to 3 part Superman story WHICH if gets published I REALLY WILL consider my life work done. Yes yes i've said that before but never about SUPERMAN. the reason it's diffrent is becuse it's superman REALLY he is the alpha and omega of Superhroes IF get to do him then that's it. Sweet sweet laziness till the end of time.

World’s quickest Rob review
No pre-hype (I forgot)
No quote of the of the week (Adrienne on vacation)
X-MEN FOREVER 12
This comic is bad so bad it’s funny
1. Sabertooth is badass. NO REALLY HE’S REALLY really badass
2. being such a badass he can smell a sniper, talk to her and hide behind no obvious cover before she shoots
3. Sabertooth (being a baddass) has deep insight into prof x. So deep it makes no sense
4. There’s a talk between beast and Jean that’s at once fun because of the incrediblely stilted language and ANNOYING because Wolverine’s dead CYCLOPS is in Alaska and jean’s still talking about them! It’s just
5. meanwhile in Russia (all right I DID enjoy typing that.) much is made of Colossus’s last name (Rasputin) and the character named magick turns evil therefore calls herself black magic.HA HAH HA
Guardians of the galaxy 20 I bought this because it’s a light week and it’s getting raves. I REALLY HATE this comic. Craftwise it’s exactly what I would’nt do. I’d never write this many wisecracks AND if I did it would be a swordfight or boxing match. Something with two identifiable combatants with a reason to talk to each other. This comic ALWAYS comes to heroes killing tentacles that don’t seemed to be attached to anything (or respect panel borders.) with lame puns GOD I hate this so much! I understand that It’s just a totally different philosophy. The panels are supposed to look like widescreen tv and the writing is “Action movie in blender”
That widescreen effect does’nt even work as well as Civil war because your not dealing super popular heroes. In CW your brain said “That’s Captain America, that’s Iron man this is going to end badly. This comic your brain says “WHO the fuck are these people and why are they fighting calamari?”

1. Rick remanders facebook page is more fun than his Marvel stuff
2. I HOPE they deal with the idea that none the guys that were brought from the dead to KILL punisher did it. Wolverine’s superhumanly good smelling son did
3. but the story has morbius and the living mummy two charcters who had VERY CONFUSING Aprences duing civil WAR so I’m in
Comics
Punisher 11 turns out to be petty good once I got over the fact that I had to read it six times to figure out when it happens. When did Henry break his nose?
Remander is playing with some of his favrote themes here (IE give your live over to violence and it just get worse, Last issue Punisher had to RE-KILL his family (Oh yeah that may be a spoiler but did you REALLY think they were coming back? This was a much less passive version of Heath Hustion (Fear agent) outliving the entire human race twice. Also the Punisher is now literally a monster In much the same way that Myra looks like she is GOING to be if we ever see the end of Fear Agent. I know it’s more than likely bad reviewing to keep bring up Fear agent in a review of Punisher. But it IS both the same writer and artist and like Fear agent Punisher can be really unlikable. It’s testimony how good the writing in Fear agent is that I only found him unlikable after he commits genocide. I can’t quite make up my mind if making monsters that live in a sewer both kinder and smarter is good writing or too heavy-handed.
I DO like the idea of monsters hanging out and hiding from superheroes
There’s a really nice set up here for “Punisher teams up with monsters” But it DOES bother me a little that NONE of the 13 super guys who were brought back from the dead to kill Punisher DID anything. Although I LIKED what did happen Better. Marvel REALLY wants Wolverine’s evil son to be a big bad guy. Having killed the punisher. Now he is.
FREE STUFF from Titan books
Nemi vol 3 I REVIEWED nemi 3 ages ago. It remains a fun humor strip about a slacker girl and her more gags hit than miss and I love the one where somebody asks her why she’s not married.
As with vol 2 I’m curious if the great coloring was in the original strips. I hope so because they are a selling point.

Yeah I miss Adriein. Yes I hate rain but aridrain will be back and will stop raining
but my old bar has NEW FLOORS. it's totally CLEAN NOW. that's deperessing as hell. granting it was'nt noon yet and did'nt any customers. But one images that cleaner floors mean they killed all my old pals with a flamethower and got better looking regulars. I USED to be scared to go in there becuse the new kids fought too much. Looking at the super-clean floor i'm scared i'd the uglyiest guy it the place. GAH who needs that kinda presure? I already cant walk.
NOTE when I TALK about ulgy I MEAN MEN I only ever saw five no six women in there in seven years and the three that were not older than my grandmother were quite pretty.

Pre-hype with rant
X-MEN FOREVER 11 Having established that this is NOT Main Marvel earth and that anybody can die at any point Clearmont is going to play the most obvious plot he never played with his real run “Colossus as Russian agent. It always bugged me that the candian government tried to recapture Logan on average every five issuses but the Russians only went after colosusus once
Cleamont is clearly having fun playing GOD of late 1990s marvel but I’M TORN between wanting to see more heroes and knowing that playing “larger universe” may lead to a portal to earth Spider-man and Wolverine shower together
Rant there’s a New Dr Strange by Mark Waid and while I love Dr strange and detest Mark waid to the point where I ALWAYS read his stuff because “He cant be as bad as I think.” I’m afraid Mark Waid on DR STRANGE is like Ron Jeramey writing the Golden girls might work but I’m not even tempted,
Comics
Hargar the horbile 1974-5 Not enough people know this but I write a four panel gag strip called Hell on wheels . So I “get” Hagar on a level not everybody would… you don’t hear people talk about Hagar changing lives but it’s good solid gag cartooning with sursingly experimental page layout for 1973
Comics
X-men forever 1 enjoyed the Nick/Prof stuff but there Were too many “Everything that happens in Marvel’s Russia” bits
Black WINDOw being in love with colossus does not feel right. Kitty slowly turning into Wolverine yet being so calm about Wolverine’s ex girlfriend sleeping with her boyfriend.
Also after the hoops Clarmont jumped though to say : “There’s no Cable” I REALLY kind of hoped there would be no “Magick” Magick was a character that I never liked she was a mutant born with the power to open a dimension full of demons that wore S and M Gear and have names like “syn” and then there was a magic sword and magic aging. Perhaps clearmont’s homage to magical girl manga.
AS I said last time I’m in but it’s not flawless

1. Doc savage is my favorte superhero from the time before comic books.
2. Doc SAVAGE=cLARK SAVAGE JR+THE shadow (once you remove the ungodly maze of aliases)=Kent Allard
that my friends is WHY Superman is Clark Kent. Sorry but it really IS that simple.
3 THE first doc novel was 1933 and the last by the orginal arthor was 1949 at a 200 page novel per month per 17 years that's a lot of story
4 I don't think that there's EVER been a doc Savage comic that lasted over a year. i've LOOKED at the 1941 series but the scary old dealer had (rightly) pegged as someone who could'nt afford them but I think I SAW TEN, Marvel had that 1975 series that was READABLE not good and DC HAD that giant turd from 1988
5. So can see why dc having bought the rights again is opening with a Batman Team up written by brian AzzRELLO
6 Problem being done right Doc and the fabulos 5 don't like Batman very much and kick his ass fairly easy
7 . other problem being Asserllo writes nearly evreything beter than he writes Batman

For the record
It’s some old jazz record I don’t know
Sound waves preserved time frozen
Any time I want I can step in a sonic time machine
But it’s finite.
It’s a teasing lure into memory
And whatever sweetness there is old crystallized
Dead as the vocalist.
The bad news is memory cant stand the day light
The good news memory cant stand the daylight
Hope grows anywhere.
Come sunrise chose hope.

I was talking to a friend this moring who's conflicted about liking the Johnas brother. (no one's suposed like popular bands after all) if anybody DID we could'nt all be the rebels were suposed to.
this brought questions to my mind
IF the Jonas brothers have to be a gulity pleasure does it make this same person more or less cool if they don't like the Beatles...i'm REALLY NOT talking about meI LOVE the beatles
and if it's not cool not love the Beatles what does it do my coolness rating that I get phiscally ill when forced to listen to SPringsteen? I mean really who decides this stuff

Dr Voodoo 2 the greater internet liked issue 1 I liked it even better. The greater internet does like this one as well and I have to say if a major theme really IS “Doctor Voodoo lacks confidence since DR DOOM said he wasn’t ready. Dr Voodoo was the top shrink in New York once. I don’t really think he’d see Doom as anything but Sociopathic and narcissistic but it’s got multiple univeses so I may like it.
The Torch 3 Interested in seeing the mad thinker’s plan but my hack gland is screaming “How has this little happened by 3? Really I know their pros with contracts and the script really is but the page of issues 2 should be page 10 of issues 1
CAP REBORN 4 Preview looks good
Comics
CAP spoilers uh maybe
Mister Brubaker LOVE THE script hate the plot the bad guys just warped every second of time for the last 66 years just so the red Skull highjack 1943 Cap’s body? I’m sorry but Victor von Doom is here and he’s NOT LAUGhing? “Oh yes herr Skull let us put your mind in the body of your ach foe form 66 years in the past. That’s genius assuming you still EXIST AFTER FACTURING SPACE TIME
TORCH 3 Same problem as above the bad guy saying how great their plan is and the reader not quite buying it…what you DO buy is the moment when the Torch is REALLY BACK and you know the bad guys are in DEEEEEEP trouble of couse the good guys are trouble too but if you were bored with the last two here at last is the payoff
DR VOODOO 2 there’s a lot good and a lot bad here
- the art is very interesting but does’nt tell the story very well. I had no idea that WAS another dimension. It looks like my great GRANDMA’S heater
- I liked the idea that even death is scared of “WHATEVER COMING
- Still after looking too tough last issue voodoo looks foolish. I’m in but not sure I love it
Secret six 15 bought because John Ostrander wrote it and he has eye problems so he gets my money it’s a good character study of Deadshot and we find out why deadshot never killed Batman and it’s better than what I DID.
Hex 49 Well I DID’NT LIKE IT But at least Hex rembered he’s best friends with an all powerful ghost
Strange tales 3 a bunch of indie artists do Marvel stories
There are people that will want to have this comic’s babies… I only liked the ones that are sort of like Actual Marvel Frankly I’VE read enough superhero parodies by jaded hipsters,

writer Mark waid and I go way back on the internet. He once threatend to bulgon me to death. Yes he was joking no I STILL don't like him. Face it he's the kind of writter who says "Blugon" with straight face. If his fate was to be written by waid i'd rather see STRANGE killED.
ah well Waid says likes the charcter and somebody AT marvel likes him well to hire him. So anything i've to say is sour grapes

1. I JUST foun an online magizne that only takes a week to reject things!
2. but they don't take stories that are being looked at by other magaizes
3. I STILL have three to five weeks before I can send my best story DAMIT! i was having such a good day too. DAMIT4. oh well maybe the first Magizine WON'T reject it. Remember my friends i've NEVER MINDed rejection it's what I DO but to wait for one place to reject a story BEFORE I send to another with a shorter lag time? THAT may kill me
