Rocket Raccoon #2 wonderfully odd and has us eating crow

A month ago I said that I was going to get only one of the new Guardians of the Galaxy spin off titles.  Star Lord was a good start and I them made some comments about Rocket Raccoon looking too weird and not really our style.  Hello crow, I’ll have a second helping, thank you very much.  Later that same week we bought Rocket Raccoon #1 and immediately couldn’t wait for #2 to come out.  It’s very fun series that captures the humor of the characters while being OK for relatively young readers.

Simpsons Illustrated #12 –great for casual fans of the comic

I don’t read Simpsons Comics every month.  I know Matt Groening and Bongo Comics would love for me to, but I have to draw my comic budget somewhere.  The reason that I picked up Simpsons Illustrated #12 is that A.  It’s The Simpsons and B. It’s much thicker than the monthly book for only $1 more. I’m glad that I got Simpsons Illustrated #12 because it is really funny and a bit different than the regular comic.

Legendary Star Lord #1: promising start to a cool character

The Guardians of the Galaxy are hot now.  Super hot.  We caught 17 minutes of the movie the other week and it is a new classic.  Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been our favorite comic for the past year.  They’re appearing in Silver Surfer this month and it only makes sense that Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon get their own comic.

Guardians of the Galaxy #16, great story & art-bring on the movie

I am not just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy is the best comic book out there now simply because of the movie coming out. I tried to embrace Green Lantern prior to that movie, but the story and movie just didn’t hold my attention. I have high hopes for the Guardians movie and have been reading this incarnation of the comic book since it came out last year.  Guardians of the Galaxy #16 continues with the team in shambles, spread out across the galaxy, trying to fight out of their situations and get back together.

Simpsons Comics #212: brings the funny to all ages

Sometimes in my search for the new and unique I forget the obvious.  I’ve found some great new comics that are perfectly suited for young readers, notably Skyward-which is great all ages action.  However, I’ve been reading Simpsons Comics for 21 years, it’s a great all ages comic that my son loves to read-when I let him.
