Beige Couple Has Sex

February 8, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

This really was not that interesting. Too pretty people having hot sex though they initially loathed each other. I was bored from beginning to end when I was not disgusted by the character of Vaughn. Sidney Sinclair is an investment banker. After moving back to Chicago after finding out her fiancee was cheating on her, she is trying to dip her toe back into the dating pool. After a blah date at a coffee shop, she is asked out by a total stranger who lashes […]

Don’t Think This Will be A Classic Like American Gods

February 8, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

I think the biggest take away for me for this book is that not everything is American Gods. I thought that this book would be Gaiman’s take on Norse myths. And for the most part besides some humor and dialogue here and there, Gaiman plays this pretty straight from beginning to end. There are some passages here and there that moved me and some that made me smile. I am happy to have read this, but this is not going to be something that I […]

Not as Poignant at Volume 1

February 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

So I liked this volume a little less than vol. 1. That is mainly because Lady Deathstrike has always been my least favorite foe of Wolverine and the shoe-horn of another comic from Uncanny X-Men that did not match the style and color scheme of the previous issues. It really felt tacked on and I wish they left it out. Vol. 2. collects Old Man Logan #5-8 and Uncanny X-Men #205. Now that Logan realizes that he is in a different time before the fall […]

Loved This Take on Old Man Logan

February 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I have so many questions as I finished Volume 1. First off, the art was fantastic. The turmoil of Logan was palpable through the pages. And this comic was gritty and graphic in a lot of places. I maybe got a stomach ache a few times based on what I was reading. All in all though, great job by Jeff Lemire! This volume collects Old Man Logan (2016) issues #1-4. There is a lot going on in this volume, but I was able to follow […]

Beginning of His Journey

February 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

So another great issue in the chronicles of the Gunslinger. Wow. Once again high marks to taking the most important parts of Wizard and Glass and bringing it to life in this graphic novel. We see that Roland’s father is not so inept that he does not realize what his wife has been up to for a couple of years now. Which kind of begs the question what was he thinking by letting it go on. I see some parallels to King Arthur and Guinevere […]

The Beginning of our Gunslinger

February 8, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

The Gunslinger is brought to life in this graphic novel. I have all of the feels right now. Seriously. Watching how our Roland goes from being a young boy to a true Gunslinger in this issue hit all of the high notes. Roland Deschain who will one day walk alone to the Tower, I see you. And it is wonderful. “I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. […]
