Stew’s Reviews: Cerebus

Sorry, obviously I did not read all, what, 300-some issues of this series (Oh, 300 exactly, okay. That’s a nice round number). I merely dipped my toes into the beginning of the series by reading the first ten issues and then pulling through some random issues of the later runs to see how it progressed between gaps.

The Top Five: Tear-Jerker Moments In Comics

I’ve been itching to cover this particular idea for a while now. I love fights and I love the funny, but comics are best to me when they make you FEEL. I remember reading the last issue of the six-part Spectacular Spider-Man series “The Child Within” as a boy and being struck because it was different than what I thought comics could do.

Welcome back to Stew’s Reviews! I’m your host Rob “Yes Rob, Not Rod” Stewart. When last we met, I was reviewing one of my absolute favorite comic book stories of all time, Kingdom Come. Hopefully you’ve read and enjoyed KC as much as I always have, and you haven’t read it… rectify that quickly! Jeez, what do I have to do, hold your hand?

Stew’s Reviews: Astro City – Confession

That’s right, it’s another installment of Stew’s Reviews, fanboys (and fangirls, of course, because I am an inclusive fellow). Here’s moving into the realm of Image Comics for this week with a review of the “Confessions” story arc from Astro City! Speaking of confessions, here’s mine right off the bat: I got into Astro City far, far too late because I am a terrible and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Astro City – Confession
