The World’s Greatest First Love Volume 1

I enjoy manga set in the world of manga publishing. (This is in contrast to comics about making comics, which tend to be dopey and morose.) Even when Bakuman was ridiculous about its characters, for instance, I appreciated the bits about working in such a demanding creative profession and how the industry operated. I thus had high hopes for The World’s Greatest First Love, a yaoi series from SuBLime Manga about a new manga editor who winds up working for [...]

Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir

Review by KC Carlson The word “humble” appears just 30 words into Stan Lee’s new illustrated biography Amazing Fantastic Incredible. Considering that Stan’s about the closest thing to a modern day P.T. Barnum that we’ve got (huckstering like there’s no tomorrow), it’s a wonder that he waited that long! But I kid Stan… Amazing Fantastic Incredible IS actually an amazing, fantastic, incredible book. It’s not just a look at his work at Marvel, but a portrait of key moments of [...]

Michael Cho Gives Marvel Characters Retro Designs

Another month, another variant cover theme. There are too many to even post them all lately, but I really like the classic streamlined look and the saturated colors of work by Michael Cho (Shoplifter), so here they are. Select “All-New, All-Different” Marvel Universe titles in February (available for pre-order next month) will feature “vibrant and striking” variants by Cho. There’s no word on how available they’ll be or what the conditions for ordering are. Here’s a sampling of the pretty [...]

Yukarism Volume 4

The reincarnation shojo manga series by Chika Shiomi concludes in this fourth volume, bringing the story to a quick close. I’m a bit disappointed, but I think I was expecting something different from what the author intended. I wouldn’t mind reading more stories about how someone living life today interpreted visiting a historical period, or vice versa, but it seems to me that Shiomi instead wanted to make points about the nature of a person’s essential character and how past [...]

Louise Brooks: Detective

Rick Geary, the artist behind the acclaimed Twentieth Century Murder true-crime graphic novel series, takes a side step into fiction with a strong historical flavor in Louise Brooks: Detective. In real life, the distinctive actress, who starred in Pandora’s Box and popularized the severe dark bob hairdo, returned home to Wichita, Kansas, to run a dance studio in 1940. Her Hollywood career was over, for a combination of reasons, including her dislike of the industry. And the country had changed [...]

Season 2 of The Librarians Debuts Tonight

Are you familiar with The Librarians? It’s a fantasy adventure show whose second season premiere airs tonight, November 1, at 8 PM (ET/PT) on TNT. I started paying attention to it because it was developed by John Rogers, previously responsible for Leverage. It’s a spinoff of the three Librarian movies starring Noah Wyle as a mystical, knowledgable adventurer. He guest-stars in several episodes of the show, including the season premiere and finale. Like Leverage, there’s a mismatched group with unusual [...]
