The Savage Critic: November
27th 2002
By Brian
Hibbs
Welcome back, my friends, to the show
that never ends. I tried,
God knows I tried! to write the reviews this week, but my fingers
are leaden on the keyboard, and my mind preoccupied by too many other
things -- it's, y'know, a big week for retail sales, and first and foremost
I'm a retailer.
Plus,
we got broken into on Monday night (well, Tuesday morning I guess --
I got the call at 3 am) -- don't worry, we lost nothing of consequence
(except for the $350 bill for replacing the glass), our alarm worked
just fine, and the police came really damn fast.
So,
you'll forgive me if I mostly give this week a pass -- with any luck
Jeff'll be here next week to co-write with me and we can get all the
way through December without missing a Critic.
I
can say this much: I really liked (and think you should go and buy)
100% #4, Age of Bronze #15, Batman #609, Global Frequency #2, Kabuki:
The Ghost Play (pretty!), Leave it Chance #13 (Finally!), and Usagi
Yojimbo #62
My
Pick of the Week is 100% #4 -- Pope is really
doing a bang-up job with this, his most mature work yet; while my Pick
of the Weak is Tarot #17, which is veering closer
and closer to hard-core porn with each and every issue.
TP
recommendations go to Lone Wolf and Cub #27 (only 1 more to
go!), Plastic Man Archives V4 HC, and Ultimate Spider-Man V4... with
the winner being Plastic Man. Super-yummy work.
Following
is a list (for those who actually use this as the shipping list) of
what CE got this week, and I'll see you next week (maybe even by Friday,
if Jeff helps out this review cycle) with a proper column!
