I think I've seen that somewhere before, I'll check it out.

Correct.

As you can see I grabbed from TFAW, anyone know of a better online option? (Not that I've had issues with them.)

how's Midtown Comics online shop in comparison? I've actually *almost* ordered from there before. I think w/ shipping it's not really worth it for one or two issues, but if buying a fair amount then it looks good.

EDIT: After you read that stuff you can comment on my blog posts :lol:

Moving on to 1991 now. I've got one book at home already and two more in the mail.

That cover illustration sums just about everything that was wrong with how women were drawn in comics in the 90s.

I honestly found most of the art in that book horribly ugly.

I don't know, it looks kinda like what happens when Frank Miller gets really drunk off cheap tequila, snorts a pound of cocaine, draws a comic, and then vomits all over it profusely before turning it in.

supposedly Miller worked on the book in the mid-80s but shelved it until 1990. I'm not saying it's "bad," but I can totally see why it would have been shelved.

@Reprise: You know IvX #2 is out now, right?

You have a typo in your write up, you say "the McFarlane" at the end of paragraph 3.

I have a lot of typos on that blog. haha. I seriously just type up initial thoughts immediately after reading something. There's no planning or proof-reading or anything. Thanks for the heads up though. At some point I'll try to catch and fix the mistakes. Or hope that "The McFarlane" will catch on as a cool nickname.

Considering his empire, that is probably how he prefers to refer to himself.
