This Week's Brief Thoughts, with Vulgarity!
By fuck, just when I thought Seven Soldiers couldn't get any cooler . . .Man, I want a Newsboy Army series faster than right now. Those kids were fucking awesome.
What the fuck? Judd Winnick wrote a readable comic? One that was actually fun? Sure, the beautiful art helped, but I think this thing actually worked. Shit on me!
Garth Goddam Ennis still writes a strong Punisher. But ass-ugly art makes Ghost Rider unreadable. That and, well, it isn't very interesting.
I shit ass fuck queef love DC's cartoon superhero books. Pee.

7 Love Letters:
Superman/Shazam was great... simple, fun, action-packed... it was pretty much all I need from a Superman Captain Marvel team-up. If the quality keeps up, I will officially decree it the best Cap Marvel story in years.
My only complaint was that Billy was a little too much of a wise-ass, and the Sivana as indutrialist was lame. I like the Mister Burns-ness of it, but I think Luthor proved that mad scientists should ususally remain just that.
But Monsters, giant robots, evil cults. Just great...

Industrial Sivana sucked, but (Christ, I'm defending Winnick) I think that's what he had to work with post-Crisis. God, we really do need our mad scientists back.
Not sure how I feel about wise-ass Billy. It does make sense, in a way. Maybe if he were a bit less good at it?

This post reminded me of an old New Yorker (?) cartoon where an old woman has dropped her groceries and the caption reads: "Well, phooey! Piss shit motherfucking phooey!"

Winick is at his best when doing fun. I mean, Barry Ween anyone?
He just, y'know, gets all depressing and melodramatic when doing the serious.

I don't read this blog for a long time and when I come back, you like a Winnick Captain Marvel comic? My worldview would be shattered if you didn't do a page by page piss take on the Infinite Crisis preview. Now it's just cracked a little.

I would have liked it better if anything had happened. Maybe it's passé to complain about decompression, but I can't help feeling this would have taken about six pages in the team-up stories from my youth.
and I was born in '85.

Giant robot fights and magic monsters isn't "something happening"?
