Posted on May 14, 2008 by roger

Oh my, where to begin? My first observation is that it looks like Jon Favreau knocked the script for this puppy out in about thirty minutes. There are around sixty lines of dialogue gracing twenty-one pages, which wouldn’t be a … Continue reading →

Wonder Woman #1-18

Posted on March 24, 2008 by roger

Brave and the Bold: That's The Way You Do It

Posted on August 19, 2007 by roger

I don’t want to give all the credit for B&B’s newfound success to writer Mark Waid… seeing George Perez working his magic, producing layouts that make storytelling sense (a feat beyond the capabilities of many of today’s big names) is … Continue reading →

Marvel's Civil War

Posted on August 11, 2007 by roger
