CBR Review: The Boys #51

I recently reviewed The Boys #51 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "After last month’s issue of The Boys showed the original interaction between the Boys and the Seven that resulted in the dissolution of the CIA group, this month’s issue begins to put the two groups back on track for a head-on collision as Butcher heads to Washington to ensure that his team is left to its own devices. At the same time, Vought-American begins running scenarios to determine what the outcome of a Boys/Seven conflict would be and if they can live with the results. It’s an issue focused on the behind-the-scenes politics at play on both sides of the conflict, one that reminds the reader that there’s always more at stake than a simple conflict between the Boys and the Seven."

CBR Review: Conan: The Weight of the Crown #1

I recently reviewed Conan: The Weight of the Crown #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "As part of its initiative to provide readers with a series of self-contained, easy-to-read one-shots, Dark Horse tapped Darick Robertson to write and draw a Conan book, which, if you’ve seen Robertson’s art, is a brilliant and logical choice. Except, honestly, for the writing portion of the comic. While Robertson’s art is perfectly suited to Conan, his writing is mediocre with a very simple and unoriginal plot, and grating, over-written narration."
