Comics League International

October 27, 2014

This week will (hopefully) see another project begin to bear fruit. Since February I’ve been co-hosting the Living Japan Podcast and it has been a great deal of fun. So much fun that I wanted to start a second podcast that discusses comic books. Which, as you know, is not the most original idea ever. … More Comics League International

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #1

October 2, 2014

Since I recently made a post of my initial thoughts concerning the new direction for Thor, I figure I might as well review her debut issue. Thor #1 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Russell Dauterman Spoiler-free (as if it hasn’t been spoiled already) synopisis: Frost giants attack earth! Thor can’t lift his hammer! A new Thor … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #1

Thoughts on (Lady) Thor

September 18, 2014

There has been some buzz about the upcoming changes to the status quo of Marvel’s Thor comics. Namely the current Thor, Thor Odinson, will become unworthy to wield Mjolnir. An unrevealed female character will pick up the hammer and thus become Thor. This identity of this character will be a secret even to Odin, or … More Thoughts on (Lady) Thor

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #4

June 10, 2014

I think this will be my last review of Ms. Marvel. Yeah. Ms. Marvel #3 Writer: G. Willow Wilson Art: Adrian Alphona Color Art: Ian Herring Publisher: Marvel So far I’ve reviewed issues One, Two and Three and each time I’ve said pretty much the same thing: the art is gorgeous, the writing is … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #4

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #3

It’s been two issues of diminishing returns. Will issue three be the big one that turns it all around? Short answer: Sadly, no. No spoilers. Just disappointment. Ms. Marvel #3 Writer: G. Willow Wilson Art: Adrian Alphona Color Art: Ian Herring Last issue I was bothered by the rather non-superheroics involved in helping a teenager … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #3

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Captain America The Winter Soldier

May 2, 2014

I finally got around to seeing the latest Captain America. The first one was firmly average. How about part two? Is the Grumpy Bird still grumpy? Captain America The Winter Soldier Dir: Anthony & Joe Russo Screenwriters: Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely I’m struggling here. So much of what I have to say … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Captain America The Winter Soldier

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #2

March 25, 2014

Other than very pretty art, I didn’t think much of the first issue. That said, it did its job of making me pick up issue two. Or was it the desire to want to like the book what made me pick it up? Either way, I don’t think my opinion on the quality of the … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Ms. Marvel #2

Grump Bird Reviews: Batman: Dark Knight Returns, Pts 1 & 2 (Movie)

March 24, 2014

More than likely everyone reading knows this, but just in case: The Dark Knight Returns was a 1986 comic book written and drawn by Frank Miller. It’s a five-minutes-in-the-future tale where Batman returns from retirement. Hijinks ensue. Despite accusations of giving birth to the increasingly grim-and-grity comics it is generally agreed to be one of … More Grump Bird Reviews: Batman: Dark Knight Returns, Pts 1 & 2 (Movie)
