Happy March everyone! And no, these updates will not always be just reprinted articles, if I ever change something on the site I will talk about it here... but I don't have anything this week so -
Here are the articles I reprinted this month:
Here are the articles I reprinted this month:
"A picture tells a thousand words. Those thousand words are a rant from me if the picture in question is a comic book cover. While admiration can be given to some covers for their artistic prowess (or a funny catch-phrase emblazoned on the front), there are multiple quirks that make me shiver in fury at the realization that these covers are nothing more than quick cash-grabs for creators. The culprits: variants, "Care-Thee-Not" covers, artistic impressments and false advertising."
"Back when Static Shock and several other DC titles had their cancellations announced, the obvious reason for all of them to be cancelled was blamed first: their sales rates were too low. But there was also more hinted at behind the cancellations of two specific titles: Mister Terrific and Static Shock. Both series feature African-American protagonists, and this has lead to streams of people yelling at DC and accusing them of being 'racist.'"
"The only thing that I felt Liefeld accomplished with this issue of Deathstroke was a promo for 'The Omegas' series. I don't think I would mind reading that series instead of this poorly drawn depth-lacking series whose main title character is as boring as the villain."
"It's hard to tell how impactful this issue will be when the direction of the series is still unknown. This, combined with the several moments that appear pointless and the little characterization and conformity among the characters, make the issue a disappointment despite the fact that this could be the starting point leading to the deaths of several members of the JLI."
"The Static series has always moved rather slowly, and the repercussions for such slowness caught up to the creative team in this issue. Every little minute detail – from character development to story development - are glossed over as quickly as possible to get everything moving. Way too glossed over, with many artistic problems, story confusion and just too much all at once in a title that has unfortunately taken another turn for the worse, making it's coming cancellation a little easier to swallow."
"The first issue of Blackhawks is surprisingly successful in creating an interesting array of characters, an intriguing storyline and art that has a few really good moments. But longtime fans of the original Blackhawks may be upset with these new characters and the modern setting."
