I read LOTS of Comics...

So, I read comics (duh, with a handle like, "SpiderMitch")... I read everything from the big boys like DC & Marvel, to the mid-sized Image, Dark Horse, IDW, & Aspen, to the independent and smaller publishers like Big Dog Inc & Zenescope...
Anyway, I thought it would be kinda cool to see if I could do a few write-ups after I finish reading comics. You may not necessarily agree with what I have to say, but that's the fun of reading comics: each person has different interpretation and tastes. Here I hope to share my experience (whether it be good or not so good), and have a little fun and humor along the way!

I'll try not to give away too many spoilers, but it's my hope you read these reviews after you've read the issue, so you can comment if you want!

I'm a little behind on what I read, since I try to do so chronologically. This often has me jumping from title to title to fit everything in a massive reading order. Generally I read simultaneous publishers / events at a time.
It may be handy to use the navigation filters above to jump to specific publishers, events, or specific characters!


P.S. I'll be using my phone & tablets to both read the comics & write these reviews, so if there's spelling mistakes / layout issues, sorry!

DC New52 - Animal Man #0 (Inappropriate Ride-Alongs)

So Animal Man is kinda interesting.  Didn't think I'd like it, but I did.  I know it's a Morrison creation, so I'm already prepared to have some crazy meta-physical exposition (and lack thereof) when I started this.  I was totally not expecting the level it was taken, however.  Even when I'm aware of it, Morrison, you ass, I'm still left at jaw-dropping unexpectedness from a superhero comic.  Do skinless talking cats and demonic cloaked goats belong in superhero comics?  If you're reading Animal Man, they do.


Basically this guy is given powers to emulate animals by these beings that sorta look like Pan's Labyrinth creatures looking out for their best interests.


The thing is: Buddy Baker isn't supposed to be anything but a temporary host for the 'red' powers after their previous "avatar" dies.  They abduct him and do some really REALLY gruesome surgery on him.  
They actually say they're going to put their seed in him... sexy...



Then BOOM! he can channel animal's powers.  He goes home and kinda... Um... Hugs?  his kid...
Oh man... Animal Man... WTF, dude.  WTF....
