Playing Catch-Up: What I've Been Doing

So.

After my two-week break, I'm back to talk comics. Or to catch you up on the comics I've been talking about elsewhere at least.

Since I last posted, I reviewed a whole bunch of comics for CBR (with linkery for you to enjoy):

Daredevil Noir #1
Northlanders #16
Batman Confidential #28
Captain America #49
Punisher #4
Squadron Supreme #10
Green Lantern Corps #25
Astonishing X-Men #29
Skrull Kill Krew #1

And I tackled the career of the awesome Bernie Mireault in a two-part retrospective/interview in "When Words Collide":

Me talking comics with Mireault

But you already knew that, I'm sure.

What do I have in store for the future of "Geniusboy Firemelon"? I don't know, but I'm back!

Astonishing X-Men #25 Review

Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Astonishing X-Men #25, about which I write the following sentences: "'Astonishing X-Men' #25 is a great superhero comic, and it's the best X-Men comic in ages, precisely because it feels like something new. It feels like a fresh take on the characters, and it doesn't really bear any similarity to the first twenty-five issues of this series. The cast is a bit different, the characters behave a bit differently, and they are interested in different things. This isn't another ode to Chris Claremont. This is Warren Ellis's X-Men, and it's Simone Bianchi's X-Men, and it's quite a joy to read."

This comic comes out today, and I suspect it might be the best book of the week.
