Queen & Country #8-12 by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Here’s where Greg Rucka puts that liberal arts degree to use and does an advertisement for Bush’s Iraq War (”everyone knows Iraq funded 9/11″). I suppose it was inevitable, but it does bring up the point–does a topical work, written either by an intentional perjurer or unwitting rube, suffer when the point is proven (or, […]

Queen & Country #5-7 by Greg Rucka and Brian Hurtt

March 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Batman: Turning Points has its problems. Greg Rucka trying to write in Frank Miller’s Year One style is atrocious and both Ed Brubaker and Chuck Dixon get saddled with generally useless issues. Brubaker writes two issues and his first one is a fun tribute to 1960s Batman, but his second one is so forgettable–well, I […]
