CR Review: Foiled
Comics Reporter &bull Mar 8, 2010
I thought Foiled a very dull and disappointing book. I didn't think it a book to match the reputation of its creators: the well-regarded young adult, fantasy and science fiction prose veteran Jane Yolen and the promising Parade With Fireworks cartoonist Mike Cavallaro. It's the kind of book that I once thought publisher First Second was created to push against, the kind of book they'd turn down in order to facilitate more idiosyncratic, ultimately more satisfying efforts. I wish I had read something,… Full Story »

From the stack: Ultimo vol. 1
Precocious Curmudgeon &bull Feb 25, 2010
Stan Lee created the template for a lot of comics I loved for a very long time. Beyond that, he was a very prominent figure in those comics, at least in terms of the tone that Marvel put forward. He was the cheesy ringmaster in the text pieces, the company's head cheerleader. Even when I was six, he never seemed as young to me as he seemed to feel, but there was a weird charm to that. So what… Full Story »
