This is a wildly inventive telling of The Flintstones for a contemporary age. Like the original Hanna-Barbera show, it's written with an adult audience in mind -- unlike the original show, it is not written with kids in mind. That was a strength of the original, and a weakness of the comic. F...
Well, that wasn't what I was expecting. Rather than a funny look at stone age life a la the cartoon I remember as a child, I was faced with an interesting commentary on social issues. PTSD in soldiers Treatment of immigrant labour Consumerism (Gay) Marriage - Kudos for Fred standing up for the 'non-...
This easily makes up for the failed promises of the other Hanna Barbera adaptations. Brilliant social satire. It's a Stone Age Family for today and it works!
I was... never going to read this. Never, ever. I really, really hate Flinstones, and always have. Mostly, it seemed insipid to me, at least when compared with other toons or TV shows I could watch. I don't laugh at jokes when I don't find them funny, and I didn't find Flinstones funny. And...
And why, yes, I'm working through them alphabetically. Still on the 'A' books, and I will be for the next day or two. At least. Anyway, this excited me, because it looked to be all robots. I hadn't read any of this series, but I got this for a buck based on the cover. And I'm glad I did...
Why, Vision, why? That being said, this was the perfect, bittersweet ending to this horrific mashup. It was, really, everything I could hope for despite being so tragic. It made me feel. It built up the characters, and made me want more for them, and ache for them when they couldn't have ...
And really, all you need to know is that they are robot zombies. Superhero and supervillain robot-zombies. Zombies augmented by Ultron-y bits. And also, yes, this concept shouldn't excite me, but it does.
Old. Timey. Punisher. Look, if that doesn't get you on board, I'm not sure what I can say that will. I mean, it's Marvel zombies, Age of Ultron, and all different kinds of versions of the Marvel characters you know an love from different time periods and alternate universes. It's loads of...
It's amazing how much I'm enjoying everything Battleworld! I wasn't going to indulge in this series, but I did, and I'm glad I did so. In Battleworld, it's possible to have Ultron against an army of zombies, given that Doom pulled parts of whichever multiverse he could save. As far as I unde...
I LOVED All-New Invaders Volume 1. If fact I'm probably going to go ahead and start volume 2 before I try anything else. A lot of times it's harder to put your finger on; and say something about what you like; but you know it when you can't wait to turn the next page and see what happens next. Oh...
