		Tony Millionaire's comics prove that no matter how well you draw -- and when it comes to drawing, Millionaire might be in a class of four or five for the last 50 years of comic strips -- it's the writing that counts most.
		One of the two or three smartest comics to be released in the last half-decade, with dozens of cogent points about crime, community, criticism and yes, even comics; there are multiple on-ramps for discussion, from presentation right down to the visual clues provided as to the running mystery involved with the book.
		In most ways that count comic strips are afforded as much creative energy as they were in their heyday, and provide if not an extraordinarly lavish living, at the top it's still a comfortable one with a very big house involved.

		Kyle Baker is one of comics' singular talents, capable of moving back and forth between various ambitious mainstream publshing projects and the occasional superhero work with DC Comics with an ease that may only belong to him.

		We used to have a rule, at Marvel Comics, when [Jim] Shooter was in charge, that you always had to explain who the guy was, just in case somebody had never read your book before.

	Return to Comics: August 2005
		As an addendum to The Comics Treadmill’s write up on DC Superstars Baseball Edition, Spandex Justice has a humorous take on what the series would be like if it kicked off today.
		In what has to be one of the longest rehashings of a baseball game in the history of sports writing, The Comics Treadmill has finally posted the last installment recounting the famous DC Super Stars good guys vs. bad guys baseball game.
		Comic book mini-series from the big two seem to fall in to one of three categories: they’re either event driven (or directly tied to events) like a GREEN LANTERN:REBIRTH or all the HOUSE OF M and INFINITE CRISIS tie-ins; debut or pilot projects for lesser known or new characters (i.e.

	Movie Poop Shoot - Should It Be a Movie?
		2005 was the year I got really close to giving comics the finger and walking away.
		There were great comics this year, as there always are, but the increase in boring comics and boring comics “news” was just about terminal.
		Last year’s best graphic novel got its first sequel earlier this year, and while it wasn’t quite as strong as the first volume (which may solely be because the shock of the new wasn’t there this time), this was still the best “all ages” book released this year.

		Meanwhile, proving that Peter Parker is not in fact the dumbest character in the comics, let’s take a moment to enjoy Scott Gaines’ little oops-I-proposed-by-accident temper tantrum.
		OK, so there are going to be some real comics posts later tonight, but for the moment I have a question.
		In comic strips that take place in pre-modern times, there’s certain aspects of the setting that make for fun jokes (like funny clothes and technical backwardness) and certain aspects that do not (like pressuring your underage children into marriage).

		Fear not, loyal reader, because we here at Buzzscope have read way more comic books this year than, say, Andrew Arnold — plus, we don’t self-consciously spell comics with an annoyingly pretentious “x” — slogging through some of the worst comics to hit the shelves, in order to bring you the Best Comics of 2005.
		If there's ever been a comic book that was the perfect gift for a comic book geek to give his non-comic book-reading girlfriend, Fade From Grace would be it, and my own wife - who won't even glance at any manga - has confirmed that.

		This means more time to look around and shoot the breeze with your favorite artists and creators from the top publishers, as well as more panels and events.

		KID ETERNITY is the sort of comic where the journey is better than the destination; the ending is rushed and out of the blue and in many ways unsatisfying, but on the way there you've gotten lots of gorgeous set pieces.
		I could certainly understand, since the comic had been published in colour but the collection was fl and white, and no additional collections of Bendis's run on the book seemed to be forthcoming.
		I am a little afraid of the naked women that are on most of the covers of this comic, and a little happy to see that for once the cover girl has clothes on.
