Great breakdowns! If only time and $ wasn't so important currently, I could allocate more of those resources to exploring these awesome books you recommend. But then again, that is why we have a channel like yours. You sum it up for us in a nice package. At least I get some good ideas on which books sound interesting and worth picking up and getting around to when time permits. It's like cherry picking the best of the best. Most probably do better in trade paperback anyways. Collected stories without the pause between single issues is usually more enjoyable. I am getting to a few on your list. Loving Conan. That is keeping my interests. Of course Zatanna. Uncanny. I'm up on them. I'm a Daredevil fan as well, but I just haven't read much. What TP or issues would you recommend if I wanted to get some awesome Daredevil? One thing I'm starting to do with comics is just enjoy each one without letting too much logic and personal opinion get in the way. I've seen some other content creators that get really upset with the new names/titles of certain comics, character swapping, story arcs, etc...I feel they are taking it all too seriously. Comics are always pushing boundaries and while they do some questionable things at times, isn't that what stories and creative ideas are supposed to do. It's all just sort of a reflection of the the turmoil within modern day society. Without pushing buttons and introducing new ideas, people become rigid in their minds and develop an over inflated sense of self. Too much ego, too much intellect. Not enough heart or compassion for others that are different than the norm. All in the head, not enough in the heart. Yet they like books about mutants with crazy lives and strange powers. Just keep everything the same though, right? Go figure.
Yeah, when you start taking seriously the world in which a spider bite gives you superpowers, you might want to reevaluate things. Comics are fun, and suspension of disbelief is somewhat of a requirement. Sounds to me like you're doing it right! Regarding Daredevil suggestions, you're spoiled. Anything Frank Miller is holy grounds. Ann Nocenti and Denny O'Neill had an excellent runs too. For modern runs, Bendis, Brubaker, and Zdarsky are high water marks for my liking.
Stand Still 2 was my pick of the week, the rest of my pull list was Phoenix 3 Kill All Immortals 3 Ultimate Spider-Man 9 Uncanny X-Men 3 Frankenstein 2 Wolverine Revenge 2 Red Band all were good, not cutting anything from this list but Uncanny X-Men is on thin ice for me
Saga: yep, the last few issues i questioned also but this one made those last issues make better sense and really felt like an "old school" Saga issue.
Yeah, this issue really made me sympathize with Alana again and I needed that to stay connected with her character. BKV knows what he's doing, taking me on this emotional rollercoaster
The tone of Black Cloak has been really good. I found it amusing having mythical creature questioning if something else is mythical or not! Detective Comics: ened so well with so many of the characters. Ten Eyed Man: maybe i have too many eyes?!
I literally have none of these on my pull list, but I really want to read Zatanna and Helen badly. I'm trade waiting them along with Detective. As always, great breakdowns and thoughts. I look forward to it every week even when I have no skin in the game.
@@9PanelGrid I don't make it in every week, but last pickup was very light for me. I think the only books I got were Creepshow and Hello Darkness and I've yet to read either because I'm neck deep in My Favorite Thing is Monsters right now.
Zatanna: the art, the art, the art! This really is a sharp book all the way around. Helen of Wyndhorn: what do you think of the other part of this book? The stuff set in the "here and now."
The "here and now" of Wyndhorn is definitely the least appealing to me but I'm hopeful that it'll pay off in the end. I think it'll be something closely tied to however we end the past story. Now, we just need to see if that will lead to some finality or maybe, just maybe, an expanded Wyndhorn storyline 🤞🏻
I'm way too stoned rn, the audio had me tripping the fuck out 18:30 but so far great fuckin reviews, Stand Still is really so good! I will read it today, backlog is so big as always
I was just watching your vid where you spoke towards that! Made me ponder the approach a little more. Feels like a couple artists saying screw it, let's do all the things WE have wanted to do.
