Greetings and salutations folks,

We have a new staff member joining us to give even more opinionated and mildly informed views on everything: 67-Points-of-Articulation Spidey (67POAS)!

Seriously, this dude is more flexible than I am and can pop lock with the best of them. Please make him feel welcome.

Ok, let’s get on with it.

Fantastic Four: The End #1 (of 6)
Writer/Artist: Alan Davis

Translation:
Looks wonderful and Davis excels at old school world-building — but it takes its sweet time getting started. Actually, does it ever really start…?

Midnighter #1
Writer: Garth Ennis
Artist: Chris Sprouse

Translation:
Very routine: lots of punching against unbeatable odds and the use of “the Midnighter’s gay!” for easy characterization/sympathy. The second half picks up a little, though. My curiousity = piqued.

Spread the word!
