Savage Critics Archive

Vintage comic book style design with the text "Can anyone withstand... the savage critics." Includes a critic scale with ratings from "crap" to "excellent!" and a faint background of a comic book cover.

Brian once ran a comics review site with many talented writers; it has since been shuttered, but we wanted to make sure the content didn't get erased, so we have it all right here for you to while away an afternoon or three.

“Azzarello: But there’s always room for a 10th issue. [Laughs]” COMICS! Sometimes The Laughter is Hollow.

Some say it’s not the journey but the destination. In this case it’s very much about the destination, which is the final issue of the artistically impoverished big ticket cash-grab from DC Comics, Dark Knight III: The Master Race. After this we’ll all just pretend it never happened and get on with our lives. We shall never speak of this again. EVER. DKIII:TMR by Kubert, Janson, Azzarello, Anderson, Robins & Miller
