July ‘08 Preview Reviews: Marvel (Part 2)

July 16, 2008

Do you think when Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and the others were creating the Marvel Universe, they ever sat back and thought to themselves, “Man, I really hope someday there’s an electronic information sharing system so that two idiots, a thousand miles apart, can sit around and mock the sincere efforts of hardworking creators trying their best to uphold our legacies”?

I like to think they thought just that, and someone agress with me.

Goki: YES

Here it is, folks, the end of the line for July Preview Reviews. We hope you enjoy it, and join us next month/never again for another installment!

July ‘08 Preview Reviews: Marvel style (Part 1)

July 16, 2008

Sure, July is nearly half over, but it’s never to late to find out what to buy in the remaining weeks, and what you should have been buying the previous weeks.

Preview Reviews: AA and Spiffy discuss DC Comicbook Solicitations for July 2008

Back in the days when we frequented my message board Comic Castle, David and I came together online each month (on a very timely and organized schedule and sometimes accompanied by Goki) to discuss the coming titles for the big two (it takes too much time to do anything more than that, and our apologies) in the only way we can: sarcastically, hilariously and with as little prerequisite knowledge of titles as possible. These humble and honest conversations were dubbed “Preview Reviews”. Behold, here’s our monstrous discussion of the DC books coming out this week. Be sure and wear a condom (to warn off any other horrible jokes like that one that may be incurred throughout this post). Enjoy, and watch out for fake Goki sightings!
