  MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS #10

  2 months ago Jon Plante said:

  A nice change of pace from the last couple of issues (or has it been the entire series?), the near constant movement, action, experimentation, and surreality - Frank sits on a couch and has a conversation. The bizzare events of Frank going into space, Joe having her mind merged with Luna, Adam having his brain sucked out, and the Atomics saving the universe, seem to have finally built to something intentional. Adam has, for all intents and purposes, brain damage, and he can only look on as Frank bangs his grilfriend. Frank knows Adam got a raw deal and is trying to make things right. Now that's drama.

  SPIDER-MAN KRAVENS LAST HUNT

  2 months ago Jon Plante said:

  I started reading Spider-man around the time these "fearful symmetry" books originally came out. I remember them being very dark for my still-gestating mind. Some of the abstract imagery and hallucinations had me quite confused. Reading this collection now, I'm struck by how much the story peters out (pun unintended but welcome) halfway through. Other than that, the narration, the prose is extremely well done - poetic but still communicating the story. Mike Zeck is probably the best comic artist of the 1980s (certainly the best cover artist), but the last few issues here look rushed - maybe by the inker.
  
  If you never read this I recommend it.

  FANTASTIC FOUR #559

  So, the Fantastic Four eat at swank restaurants, shudder to think of fat women even breathing on their sports cars, and they get a free pass to park wherever they like - and we're supposed to think they'll give a damn that only the elite are getting aboard the Earth's escape pod?

  JOKERS ASYLUM THE PENGUIN #1

  3 months ago Jon Plante said:

  This is a book ComicScout was made for. Here's one of my favorite creators, Jason Pearson, who has a book out every other year. And it's a genius book. If there's a list of artists who can tell any story without words, Pearson's on it (along with Quitely, Davis, Sprouse, and a couple others I can't think of). As far as the story goes - this is what All-Star Batman should've been like.
