Okay. Blackest Night. What a ride.

So I just finished reading Blackest Night 8, and what can I say? It’s fucking awesome. It has all these moments that both made me geekgasm and cringe. Dialogue is still typical Geoff Johns: cliche-riddled but somehow it works. But in the end it’s so fucking awesome I totally forgot about the book’s flaws and I just sat and took it all in.

Okay then. Now on to the SPOILER-FILLED PART OF THE REVIEW (don’t read any further if you haven’t read BN #8): (continue reading…)

Oh look, it’s me again, battling a fever so I can write up the blogosphere’s best (even though it’s a few days deleyed) comic book reviews!

Adventure Comics #5

I didn’t like Adventure Comics #4, for some reason. Maybe I was accustomed to Blackest Night tie-ins taking themselves too seriously that I totally got lost in the wacky fourth wall-breaking issue. (continue reading…)

Well my good friend David and co-writer here on Comicgasm claims that I, as a Green Lantern fanatic and Geoff Johns’ worshipper am “in denial.”

But NOTHING is FURTHER from the truth! I’m sorry David, but if you think your arguments about Green Lantern Corps #42 are well placed, you are CLEARLY and UTTERLY WRONG!

Well I’m sure you readers are wondering what we argued about, and seriously I can’t believe David for his beliefs regarding this image on the issue:

You see, he wouldn’t BELIEVE me that the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner isn’t REALLY dead. As we know, DC has always had a thing for putting plot twists and Geoff Johns does that a lot. So why didn’t Hal Jordan continue on wearing the blue ring ei? That’s coz he’s trying to give us stuff WE WON’T EXPECT.

The reason why I’m making this post is because hilariously enough, nobody supports me on this! Everyone thinks I’M IN DENIAL and that Kyle is really dead and I need therapy. I even quit my job the day after this comic was released. (which of course, had NOTHING to do with this issue – coz again he isn’t really dead)

Nuff said! Now READERS, we all KNOW that he isn’t really dead right? right? RIGHT.

David you are WRONG! WRONG I TELL YOU! Umm can we stop talking about this? dagnabet! WBGKUE WIULEFN!

Welcome back traveller! Let me, Ade, treat you to this week’s unbelievably-late-but-still-ass-kicking reviews, brought to you only by Comicgasm.

Ok, Black Mask, let’s see some of that pimp hand you’re famous for.

Batman #692

This is Tony Daniel’s first Batman issue. I’m really not too keen on reading his run on Batman because I’ve been left utterly unimpressed by Battle Of The Cowl.

And really, I am disappointed with this issue. There are quite a few problems with this issue – Daniel crammed way too many story threads. (continue reading…)

Hey guys, the reviews are back. I’m taking a break from my “pleasuring Comicgasm’s secret harem of hot and willing women” duties to take some time to actually read some comics and write a review.

By the way, if you haven’t heard yet, Comicgasm is a finalist in the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards! We’d like to thank our readers (both of you) and our mothers for constantly visiting this blog. And because we’re going to party like it’s 1993 after this review, I’m going to put on my YAY! face.

This is my YAY! face

Amazing Spider-Man #606

As usual, Peter Parker’s problems pile up and he’s all mister whiney mcdouche again. But it doesn’t mean we can’t sit back and enjoy and say “whew, am I ever so glad that shit isn’t happening to me.” (continue reading…)
