Dread Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Great job all around guys. Some thoughts: -Risso was alright in 100 Bullets but the writing nor the art was enough to get me to read past the third arc, in fact, I bought the third and fourth trades together and never bothered reading the fourth. Risso is an acquired taste that to me, is like having shit in your mouth. I absolutely abhorred his Batman run. -Chaykin, I know is considered one of the best, is still one overrated mofo in my eyes. -Dan's review of Logan #1 is on the docket for best of the year for me. Well done sir. Both hilarious and insightful. -drq...shame on you. Alan Davis is the man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dan, I see where you're coming from with your review of Logan #1. Some people might find the book tired. But if looked at as an homage, I think it succeeded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I love Alan Davis! But I did not love ClanDestine. I actually think a score of "flip through" was pretty generous in that instance. All in all, this week's may have been one of the most well-written IIWY's to date. Great stuff through and through, gang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dan, I see where you're coming from with your review of Logan #1. Some people might find the book tired. But if looked at as an homage, I think it succeeded. I get what you're saying. Yes, it hits the same notes as the Claremont/Miller miniseries, which I loved. The first time I read it. Twenty-five years ago. I've just read too many variations on that same story - frequently by Claremont himself - over the years to be at all interested in another. As an homage, yes, it works. You make an extremely valid point. I wasn't interested in an homage, though; I wanted a story. And as a comic book story, it's derivative crap, and expensive derivative crap at that. Your mileage may vary; that's why fandom rocks so hard. You're wrong, though. :angel: DW, awesome Punisher review. My office mates are all looking at me funny.

Missy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 When I read DW's review of War Journal, my first thought was, "... the fuck?" Then I attempted to read the issue, and found myself agreeing with what Sir Dubs wrote. I just don't get why people see Howard Chaykin as a legend. When DW compared him to Liefeld, he hit the nail on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I just don't get why people see Howard Chaykin as a legend. When DW compared him to Liefeld, he hit the nail on the head. Chaykin did a lot of really good, cutting-edge stuff in the 80s (American Flagg, The Shadow), but I felt his strengths were much more as a writer than an artist. Nowadays he looks like he draws with his feet. He wrote the Trickster episodes, though, so I will let it slide. EDITED because "relaly" is not, in fact, a word.

Guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm still trying to work the kinks out, as this is my first time writing about comics in any capacity, really, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. Second Drq's thoughts. Great job by everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
