Batman And Robin #1 - The Comic Book Series

Batman And Robin #1

Batman: Reborn

Left:  Front Cover to the new Batman And Robin series from DC Comics!

Lately I haven't been blogging about 'mainstream comics' that much...  

Not that I don't read them, but that there is so much coverage by other bloggers out there on them that I would feel like I'm repeating myself (or them) here!

I used to be a 'completist' in collecting comics and would buy issues that just didn't 'cut it' for me as a reader.  Sometimes cycles of months or even years would go by, and I would show up every New Comics Day to just add the latest issue to my 'complete run'. 

Well, ever since I started selling those complete runs a few years ago, I broke those 'chains' of buying habits!   It only took my selling one each of a complete run to realize that once I did that, I didn't have to buy new issues of a title that didn't satisfy me any more!  

So that is why you see so many different titles being reviewed here, and mostly from the 'independent publishers' this year!  

However there are individual issues from mainstream publishers as well as from independent publishers that are worth taking the time to mention. 

The top left corner of this blog post is one of those issues.  It was distributed at the DC Comics booth at the recent Comic Con International: San Diego.  Tina and I picked up a couple of copies of that issue.   As you can see by the top right photo of this blog post, we are fans of Batman the character!   I recently wrote a chapter (essay) for an upcoming book to be published in 2010. (More on that later, same Bat-Time ... Same Bat-Place!).

Here are the details from DC Comics on this first issue:

Written by Grant Morrison: Art and Cover by Frank Quitely: Variant Cover by JG Jones; Sketch variant cover by Frank Quitely

"Batman Reborn" begins here! With the reunited team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, WE3,New X-Men), this first issue kicks off a 3-part story arc that can't be missed! The new Dynamic Duo hit the streets with a bang in their new flying Batmobile as they face off against an assemblage of villains called the Circus of Strange. They also tackle their first mission investigating a child who's been abducted by the mysterious Domino Killer. But will everything go smoothly? And who exactly are the new Batman and Robin? The newest era of The Dark Knight begins here!

OK, that's what DC sez... Here's my thoughts on this issue:

The cover was striking enough for me to pick it up at the Con.  The 'intro fist page' was enough to make me turn the page and see the two-page 'splash page'.  Which showed a flying Batmobile!  Okay, got my interest!

The storyline kept my interest and the art was very well done.   I'm not going to spoil it for you here as to who the new team members are, etc., so I'll just mention that for a 'reboot'  of this franchise, it was a well done first issue... except... for where the story ended (for now) in the last two pages.  The storyline of course is a continued story, and up to that point I enjoyed the presentation. 

It wasn't the art that keeps me from giving this issue a big thumbs up, as Frank Quitely's art is magnificient here!  It's not the colors, as Alex Sinclair did a fine job also.   And I enjoyed almost all of the story by Grant Morrison... until... the final two pages...

So yeah, I'll pick up the next issue just to see where this storyline is going, but if it continues on course in the direction that the last two pages took, then I for one won't be back, great art or not! 

Please note:  Nowhere do I see any kind of 'rating' for readership on this comic book.  And yes, I 'know' that 'comics' aren't for 'kids' anymore... But still, I find it kind of tough to rave about comic books and comic book movies when there are less and less comics out there that the pre-teens can pick up to read OR that their parents or uncles can buy to give to young readers to start them on reading comics...  You would think that a title called 'Batman and Robin' would be a little more 'light' in tone while in keeping with what the front cover is showing as a 'draw' to pick up the comic book in the first place!  The cover looks 'cool', that 's for sure!

Now, Don't get me wrong... I'm fine with HoRRoR stories or MoNSTer stories etc., I read those that are sent in to me to possibly review; but let me know ahead of time as most indie publications do with a 'For Mature Readers Only' or some other verbage! 

You see, as an online dealer, I find it hard to recommend something and then find that the person buying the item was going to give it as a gift to someone else who is a lot younger!  And then to hear the flack about it!  I feel for the retailers who have to face parents or others that come in to a store to complain a comic book issue that their kid brought home, or one they paid for not realizing the content.

One of the reasons we normally don't deal in 'new comics' is because of the above scenario.  It is a lot easier to deal in comics that have the old CCA stamp of approval.  Not saying that we should go back to those days, but man, it's a lot easier dealing with those comics for resale! 

I bring the above up because this past month we were asked by three more creators if we would like to stock their comics in our 'store'.   As we are an online comics dealer, Not an online comics retailer nor a brick n' mortar comics store, we decided to say no once again.  It's hard to deal in new comics online, as our clientele is mainly looking for back issues anyway, and we don't need the possible 'hassle' in selling unrated comics.  

However, and here's where the commercial comes in...  If You haven't picked up this First Issue yet of Batman and Robin #1, AND are an 'older reader', we do have it listed in our online store for LESS than what the other sellers have it listed for.  (Click here to see our listings for this special first issue.)  

While You are looking at the above first issue in our store's aisle... Please check out our other new listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store that our blogs are based on

Sunday I received my FaceBook Comic Con (FBCC) Table Sketch From Tiina Birgitta Räisänen...  

Who had made a Special Offer to those that joined Her FBCC Artist Table.  She has had many who took her up on this offer, including myself.

Instead of just a run-of-the-mill superhero for her to sketch, I thought I might ask her to sketch the creature from Journey Into Mystery #72. Why?  Well, that was the issue that made me stop 'reading' comics, and start to read AND collect comic books!

 So, I was very pleased when the above sketch came in via email to me. Tiina did such a good job on this request that I wanted to share it, and her offer to those that read my Blog! 

For YOU to receive one like I did, You must be a member of Facebook. Then You have to 'join' her FBCC Table group so You can submit your request.  (And NO, you don't have to be her Facebook Friend to do that!)  That's easy enough.. So here are the particulars for you to get a sketch:

As a grand opening event of Facebook Comic Con, Tiina Raisanen is offering a free sketch to the first 1,000 to reguest for it no deadline its ongoing event, until next convention occurs.

1) Only one sketch per registrant.

2) Upon registering, leave a wall message on this events page, stating which character you'd like in the sketch, and include link to reference for obscure characters.

3) Only one character per sketch!!!!!!!!!!!!

4) Sketches will be posted in the photo section of this event.

5) High rez files will be emailed to each requester who can provide an email address.

6) Event dates are a Facebook limitation. Sketches will continue until 1,000 are produced.

Tell your friends and have them tell their friends. Don't miss this opportunity to have a free Tiina Raisanen online convention sketch!

Okay... so here's the special FaceBook Comic Con Table for Tiina:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54193631751

and here is the 'wall' where my special sketch and the others she has sketched are currently shown, among other samples of her artwork:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54193631751#/photo_search.php?oid=54193631751&view=all

Please Note:  This is Not one of our 'Spotlight On...' comics creators blog posts.  Otherwise I would run a photo of Tiina and post her bio here also.  This is just to mention that I really enjoyed seeing the sketch that was emailed to me, reminding me once again why I enjoy the sequential art format!

Again, My Thanks to Tiina for taking time out of her busy schedule to do the above sketch for me!  

And NO, I'm not listing it for sale in our online store...  But while I am mentioning that... Please check out our other new listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store that our blogs are based on!  Including The Mighty Thor, the superhero who 'took over' the Journey Into Mystery title shortly after his introduction in its pages

PERSONAL PHOTOS:  And yeah... I continued on collecting Journey Into Mystery comics even after it started featuring The Mighty Thor!  Soon after, the title was altered to read "Journey Into Mystery with The Mighty Thor" and with issue #126 it was changed to just "The Mighty Thor".  Of course with a name like Hamersky... how could I help but enjoy this title with the Thor?  My surname is Polish, as it was Hamerski from Hamer-ski from the village of Hamer-mlyn.  The Vikings, (who believed in the Norse Gods), brought the name 'Hamer' to the village centuries ago.  Yes, I did research my genealogy a few decades ago... I do more than just read and blog on comics, LOL!

Spotlight On... Joe Pepitone a.k.a. JoepeP !

Spotlight On... Joe Pepitone, a.k.a. JoepeP!

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above:  JoepeP and his auto art are featured in the upcoming Hemmings Classic Car Magazine! At the Left: Da' Man hisself... JoepeP!

 

This entry in our 'Spotlight On...' blog post series is about a special person who is celebrating his birthday today...  

Yep, JoepeP is turning 'Double Nickels' today!  But he isn't cruising along at 55, nosiree... he's speeding down the highway quite literally! 

JoepeP will be featured in the upcoming October 2009 issue of 'Hemmings Classic Cars' Magazine!   The front cover to that issue is shown at the top right of this blog post, while Joepep himself is shown below in the Auto Art section, (plus his auto art is pictured in additional pages), as seen below left:

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!  Click Here to see our ENDING SOONEST ARCHIE Comics, TPBs, and Graphic Novels!

 

The newspaper clipping at the immediate above right is from an earlier mention of JoepeP's love of illustrating autos during the years. JoepeP was mentioned in that newspaper because of his works for Merritt Parkway, and the fact that the Merritt Parkway was celebrating its' own 70th Birthday last September!

So how many years has JoepeP been illustrating?  Well, let me have JoepeP tell you in his own words:

"Over 30 years in the graphic design and illustration industry...

Working with the pre-eminent typography experts at Spindler Productions, New York's leading audio/visual production company...

Learning the art of typography from the most graphic talented designers of the day at Pastore, Depamphilis & Rampone Typographers...

And, for the past 20 years...

Humor in illustration, design, Archie Comics Official Fan Site on Facebook Adminstrator, Art Director and working with Archie and the gang at Archie Comic Publications...

... I have learned from the best."

So, I've only known JoepeP for a short time, but we've already worked together on a recent project together with rousing success, and I've admired his works before that for Archie Comics!  

If You aren't already his Facebook Friend, send him an invite to 'Joe Pepitone'.  And IF You are a Fan of Archie Comics, check out the Facebook Fan Page where JoepeP is the adminstrator of that site: http://www.facebook.com/ArchieComicsOfficial?ref=mf  

Plus... when You are in the need for an automotive portrait, business logo, or editorial illustration, You are welcome to visit Joe's personal website at http://www.PepitoneCreativeServices.com .

So I've been 'threatening' JoepeP for a while now about doing a blog post on him, so I am glad it all came together today for a 'Birthday Spotlight On...' da Man!  Happy Birthday JoepeP!

Zine Of Bronze #6 - For Fans Of Doc Savage!

Zine Of Bronze #6

 For Fans of The Man Of Bronze!

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above:  Jim Main @ SPACE 2009

 

A while back I became Facebook Friends with Jim Main...  

Who I knew had published some periodicals.  I wasn't aware of how many until he sent a package to me of just a few of them to read and possibly review here.  Currently there are 48 publications that he has published that are listed for sale in his online store!

The one I wanted to review here first was a zine on The Man Of Bronze.  Here are the items that this issue covers per Jim's listing:

Gorgeous full color covers by Tim Faurote and Alvaro Fernandois, articles by Tom Barnett(on Ham Brooks), Julian Puga V (on The Secrets of the U-Boats), Dennis Kininger (his on-going reviews of the Bantam reprints of the Doc Savage novels). Plus more regular features (Cover to Cover, and our letters section) and more great illustrations by Tim Faurote, John Lambert, Christian Diaz and Virginia Mills-Barfield!

OK, I'll take it from there...

I would have to agree with Jim that the covers are both very well illustrated!  The front cover by Tim Faurote is a natural one to use to get casual readers to look at it closer.

Upon doing so I found that this zine is doing what good zines should do.  That is, have a message from the Editor / Publisher, a table of contents, a letters page, text essays, and photos.  All that is here in this zine!

Of course the letters page will feature letters about previous issues, (which I have not seen).  So reading those could or should draw you in as a reader to possibly order the issue(s) the letter(s) talk about.

One of the essays was by Tom Barnett, who did a good job on explaining "Building A Literary Character: Ham Brooks".

The next feature focused on 'The Brand of The Werewolf' which intriqued me because it showed the covers of the Doc Savage comic books that were published by Marvel Comics, and that there was a history of The Werewolf that went back to the pulps that I wasn't aware of!  I had also missed the Bantam paperback in 1965 that reprinted that tale also.

Speaking about the Bantam Books... the next article was a revealing one by Dennis Kininger who reviewed several books from that series. Also an enjoyable and informative article in a 'review' format style.

There was also a 'Comic Book Review' by Dennis.  Which I liked seeing because it reviewed Marvel Two-In-One #21.  Being a Big Fan of The Thing from the Fantastic Four, I enjoyed reading about it in this zine, even though the reviewer didn't think much of the storyline in the comic book issue...!

The last article was by Julian Puga V, who wrote on 'The Secriet of the U-Boats'.  A good historical essay that kept my interest.

I would have to say in summary, that this issue of 'Zine Of Bronze' was a well edited magzine!   Even though I am NOT a big fan of Doc Savage, it was well crafted for even me, a casual Doc Savage reader, to enjoy.  Matter of fact, of all the items that Jim sent me, it was the first publication that I read, and have now reviewed... it is THAT Good!

Details on this issue as follows:

Cost of this issue is: $3.50 plus 1.50 shipping.
$5.00 per issue postpaid in the USA.  Personal checks only, with checks made out to Jim Main.  Jim's web site to order is at:   http://mainenterprises.ecrater.com/

Unfortunately we don't have back issues of Jim's Zine in our own online store at this time... However, Please check out our other new listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store that our blogs are based on
