Just finished Asterios Polyp. WOW! Your thoughts?
Marvel, this panel was distracting and unnecessary in a great book that deserves better. @Marvel #incrediblehulk
Do you like heart-warming tales of fluffy, finely-tuned killing machines? You do!? Why then We3 from #VertigoComics is the book for you!
One example: puns don't belong in dramatic scenes. Just one of the numerous flaws. #BatmanDetectiveComics #thenew52 @DCComics
Sorry it's been a bit but I have to say, the writing in #BatmanDetectiveComics #5 is poor at best. Step it up @DCComics #thenew52

#Deadman 1: Interesting, but ultimately boring introduction to a high-concept hero. Curiosity may lead me to the 2nd issue. 3.5/5 #dcu #new5
#BatmanDetectiveComics 4: Art and hope keep this book in my pull. This issue suffers from unnecessary and clunky scenes. 3.5/5 #new52 #dcu
#BatmanDetectiveComics 3: Fun plot? Check. Distinct art? Check. Moving words? Eh... Please DC put a writer on this series. 3.5/5 #new52 #dcu
#Batman 4: Continues to be a great series with one caveat: this issue, structurally, felt very similar to the last one. 4.5/5 #new52 #dcu
#Aquaman 1: You think you know him? Great moments, undercut by cheesy ones, meh dialogue, and a reach for relevance (SNL?). 4/5 #dcu #new52
This evening's endeavor :)
Take it from an expert: sharpen your work ethic and discipline because talent will only get you so far.
@ErikJLarsen Mine was an issue of Knights of the Dinner Table which is, btw, the nerdiest comic I know of.
#AnimalMan 4: Cuts and pacing are great in this hyper-speed issue! Before you ask: yes, this book will be on the midterm. 5/5 #dcu #new52
#AllStarWestern 2: I think I want this book to be something it isn't: serious. Not as pulpy, hokey, or fun like it is now. 3.5/5 #dcu #new52
#AllStarWestern 1: A series after my own heart, but it feels awfully derivative. Writing works; art doesn't quite fit tone. 4/5 #dcu #new52
Just began #Stitches by David Small. I think I'm in for something special. :)
