So I’ve been doing some reviewing for CBR this past week, and will continue on it seems through March, thanks to some gents needing some time off, including fellow CSBG blogger Chad Nevett.
So head on over and check out some damn fine comics reviews by yours truly.

Thanks to Rebekah Isaacs every damn panel in Captain America and The Falcon looks gorgeous, but I thought this image of Cap falling from the quinjet was surprisingly intense and powerful – the kind of thing I’d love to see more in superhero stories – cause that shit seems like it would happen everyday – and be pretty horrifying.

I liked quite a few covers this week, Janet Lee’s Emma #1, David Yardin and Sonia Oback’s X-Factor #216, Greg Tocchini’s Captain America And The Falcon one-shot, but I’m still going with the awesome Michael Avon Oeming’s Powers #7. Great white space and movement paired up Oeming’s always cool character design.

I’ll be honest, I’m such a fan of Bachalo’s work, it’s going to be hard for others to win on weeks when a book he’s penciling comes out. This week is no exception. Though I didn’t love X-Men #8, I still crazy love some of Chris Bachalo’s really excellent exaggerated cartooning work, it’s so expressive and fun and layered and full of detail. Plus look at Wolverine’s tiny mean head?! Awesome!
In today’s 3 Chicks Podcast we spend some time talking about “grouchy old-man Wolverine” versus “badass Wolverine” (and then “grouchy dickish Batman” versus “huggy Batman” and I talk about how much I prefer the former in Wolverine’s case. The panel below is mostly badass…with just a hint of grouchy…so fun.

Lots of fun stuff this week, we loved some stuff and hated some stuff…what a shock!
I had a lot of pretty good books this week, and some fun covers, but none of them came even close to usurping the crown from Ryan Kelly’s cover for Brian Wood’s The New York Five #2. Just gorgeous, beautiful stuff. In my dreams more comic covers look like this every week.

Head on over to Comics Should Be Good for the final installment of Ladies Comics Project Phase II and some thoughts about what I learned.
Panel of the Week this week goes subtle (if you can call anything about Emma Frost – or the way Kaare Andrews draws her, subtle) with a panel from Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #5 by Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews.
There wasn’t much that wowed me this week, but I love it when Emma is all grouchy and pretends that being a hero (and an X-Man) doesn’t agree with her, add to that Kaare Andrews crazy fun rendering of her – look at those crazy awesome hips and insane hair! – and we’ve got total win here. So fun.
