Short reviews of pretty much whatever. Finally, you can discover if Frosted Flakes Gold has more social worth than Illmatic or Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare.
Have you ever wanted to read a comic where two wise cracking detectives investigate the death of a superhero who turns out to have died due to an orgasm induced embolism? Well, here you go, and just remember while you're reading this filth that 73 million people died during World War II, and while I'm not sure what the connection is exactly, there seems to be something we can all feel guilty about somewhere in it all.
Punisher Vol. 6: Barracuda
Ultimate Spider-man Vol. 6: Venom
Powers Vol. 2: Roleplay
Powers is a great crime comic book written by Brian Michael Bendis that follows a couple of homicide cops assigned to take care of cases that deal with superpowers in some form or other. Over the course of its 80 issues or so he and artist Michael Avon Oeming have created a great universe for these characters (central are Detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim), and all the superheros that inhabit it. In this first trade the two are partnered up and must solve the mystery of, uh, who killed Retro-Girl. Bendis is great in comics where he can wallow in snappy, noirish dialogue, and this is a great example. I can't wait to talk about the monkey-fucking issue.
