Brave and Bold #140 — Batman and Wonder Woman

I love Bob Haney and Jim Aparo’s run on Brave and the Bold; I have an unhealthy obsession with Wonder Woman. So Brave and Bold featuring Batman and Wonder Woman — that’s got to be good, right? Well, not exactly. Haney and Aparo both seem more or less on autopilot here; it doesn’t suck, or [...]

The Cowardly and the Castrated: Color Coda

Bill did a post about coloring in the Watchmen comic and movie, inspiring me to finally get to this post I’ve been sitting on for some time now. A little while back Tucker Stone and I coblogged our way through the 2nd phonebook volume of Bob Haney Brave and Bold stories. Our mutual favorite of [...]

The Cowardly and the Castrated: Part the Eighth, in Which We Are At Last Unmanned

This is it: the frightening and bloody end. Tucker Stone and I have waded through the entire Showcase Presents: Brave and the Bold volume 2. For the complete experience of the Cowardly and the Castrated, read part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, and part six. Then read the first half of [...]

The Cowardly and the Castrated: Part the Sixth, in which Batman is a Dick

Exciting recap: In our last episode, Tucker Stone and I had decided, for obscure and probably nefarious reasons, to blog our way through the 2nd DC phonebook collection of Brave and Bold strips. Tucker does #88-#90, I do #91-#93, Tucker did #94-#96,; I do #97-#99Tucker does #100-#102, and Haney’s your uncle. First, a correction to [...]

The Cowardly and the Castrated: Part the Fourth, In Which The Dead Rise and Behave Inconsistently

For those of you coming in late, Tucker Stone and I are cross-blogging our way through a massive selection of classic Batman team-ups. Tucker does #88-#90, I do #91-#93, Tucker did #94-#96, and that brings you up to Bat-date. But first let me bat-back-track a bat-bit (sorry…it’s kind of addictive, the bat-thing. But I will [...]

The Cowardly and the Castrated: Part the Second, In Which Gotham is Rechristened and Alan Moore Weeps Silently

Yes, it’s the continuation of our exploitative, unmotivated cross-over event. At the end, Flash will be anally raped with Sue Dibny’s elongated corpse and then time will jump forward three years, back four, and marinate in fermented nerd juice for six, and yet, strangely, nobody will care. Till, then…start at the beginning why don’t you? [...]
