Silver Surfer 2 (of 5) Written by Greg Pak Penciled by Harvey Tolibao and Stephen Segovia Review by currentcomicguy Part 2 of Greg Pak’s limited series has less to do with the Silver Surfer and more to do with Norrin Radd, the Surfer’s past persona.

More Reviews: Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Daken
Uncanny X-Men 534 Written by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen Penciled by Greg Land and Paul Renaud I’ve always appreciated books that feature two stories at once. Matt Fraction’s latest Uncanny X-Men arc, “Quarantine,” does just that. Both stories, the H1-X1 virus and the Emma/Shaw problem, conclude in issue 534. Aside from […]
Reviews: FF, New Mutants, X-Force
I have always wanted to do more reviews, but I don’t always have the time to do them. When I overheard that a customer created a separate Twitter account to do reviews, I recruited him. Feedback is appreciated. Do you like short reviews? Long reviews? Ones that talk about the story or ones that just […]
Quick Reviews of Some of This Week’s Books
Mrs. Pittsburgh Comics was wiped out and fell asleep after Winter Wipeout (Must See TV!), so I read all of this weeks books that I took home. Here are some quick reviews: Walking Dead #80 – I really don’t think this book really needs to ever be reviewed. There is rarely a stinker of an […]

Quick Review – Essex County Vol 1 Tales From the Farm
I have been seeing this pop up on “Best of…” lists lately, so I decided to grab it and see what it was about. Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth has been doing very well for me. So I gave it a read today. Its a story about a boy, Lester, in a rural Canadian town. He […]
First Thoughts – Amazing Spider-Man #648 Big Time
Now, I used to be a huge Spider-Man fan. Most of my early years going to conventions was spent in search of Spider-Man issues. I have a Stan Lee signed Spider-Man poster hanging in the store. If I were ever to get a tattoo, it would probably be of Spider-Man. But the Clone Saga killed […]
Some Quick Reviews 11/2/10
Read a little bit in between bouts of NHL11 this weekend and finishing the October Order. Here are some quick reviews. Incognito Bad Influences #1 Good stuff, especially if you had read the first series. I do wish it had come out sooner, as there was a lot I had forgotten that wasn’t clear as […]
Marvel & DC Price Rollbacks
I started reading Brian Hibbs Tilting at Windmills article, but I thought I should get my views out there before reading his and going, “Uh huh, what he said.” Both Marvel and DC announced at the New York Comicon that they were going to cut prices on some of their books, starting in January. I […]
