The Savage Critic: January 3rd 2003
By Brian Hibbs
Welcome
back, my friends, to the show that never ends.
As
the comics came on Friday this week, and like I already told you, there
is no Critic this week. Well, not a real one.
Here’s
the “what arrived” list, as well as the picks – a full, “real” Critic
will return next week with both Jeff Lester and myself! Woo!
Thanks
for all of the kind mail on the 2002 Year-Ender (which, if you haven’t
read it, can be found here)
– I know I begged for it, but ya’ll came through in spades.
And
isn’t it *weird* that it is 2003? That seems so science-fictiony to
me. Where are the robot maids and the flying cars? Huh. Looks like we
got the dystopian future instead....

And, for
even MORE completeness sake, here’s a list of books, TPBs, GNs, magazines,
and other things that CE got this week. I generally haven’t read any
of this by the time I post these reviews. Though I generally attempt
to give at least one recommendation amongst the TPBs each week, since
I HAVE read the material at SOME point.

This
Week’s TP recommendation is:
The final volume of Lone Wolf and Cub. Not like it had
much competition. Anyway, the series is done, all 28 volumes out...
if you were holding off because you weren’t sure if it would finish
this time, you can now jump in. You’ll be very very happy
