Last year, I unleashed the 2006 Awesome List. Since I already have Face Rockery this year, I think a name change will be appropriate. The 2007 Face Rocking List will showcase the things in comics and pop culture that totally rocked my face this year. In no particular order:
I tried this reviewing-comics-every-week gig, first with Weekly Haul, and then New Comics Yay!, but it just doesn’t stick with me. I know I’m passionate enough about reading comics, but blogging about it is an entirely different thing. With the real world usually foiling my plans of writing comic book reviews every week, I’ve decided to stop. But not completely. I’ll try doing this on a monthly basis. I still believe that by reviewing comics, I’ll somehow save the world. Hasn’t happened yet, but at least I’ve inspired people. I think. Anyhoo, let’s do this!
This is the cover of Captain America #34, which will drop in January 2008. It’s by Alex Ross, and it features the new Captain America. I don’t really care about Ross tweaking the costume, and I think the gun and the knife are sorta cool. I’m fine with all of this. Ed Brubaker is still on the helm after all. This new Cap is okay. I’m not going to bitch about the new costume and the offensive weapons. You know why? Because this ain’t Steve Rogers. This is the NEW Cap. And I bet he’s going to kick a lot of new ass. That is all.
It was my birthday week and I was awesomed at the sheer amount of face rockery that went on in comics. It was like the universe conspiring to give me the most awesometastic comic book birthday week ever! Here’s proof:
4 out of the 7 comics I got last week cost $3.99 each. WTF?! I can smell the increase in cover price of all regular comics in the near future. I hope I’m wrong or my wallet is screwed. Anyhoo, it’s time for the reviews! YAY!
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
