10 – Wonder Woman

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Pete Labrozzi

Yep, a day late again, but it’s all good. Because yesterday was Wednesday and that means you probably already have new comics!

If I mentioned last week that I had nothing to say then went on to talk about DC’s launch of their mobile platforms, then I really have nothing to say this week…

So I’ll talk about Wonder Woman! Even better, I’m going to mention an article from FOX News I found while researching this post. Exciting, huh?

First of all if you haven’t heard, for her 600th issue Wonder Woman has dropped her somewhat iconic “Stars and Stripes” costume that she’s worn for the better part of 70 years in favor of the outfit in the image above/right. I say the better part because there was a point in the sixties where someone decided to strip her of all her powers and reboot her as more of a Lara Croft girl power character. But let’s not discuss that…

Pete’s Wednesday Comics Picks – 6/23/10

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Pete Labrozzi

It’s that time again! Wednesday! Let’s get right into it…

Well, this post is going to be a short one today because I actually don’t really have any specific topics to discuss. Big pull list today which is always good. Of course it also means I’ll have a lot of reading to do.

One item of interest is that DC has finally launched it’s mobile platform for distributing comics. Partnered with Comixology (where I do all my pull lists) and Playstation Network, you will now be able to download your favorite DC comics and take them with you on the go.

Pete’s Wednesday Comics Picks – 6/10/10 – Y: The Last Man

Posted on June 10, 2010 by Pete Labrozzi

Oh, hello blog! How are you? Yea, I know it’s been a while, but I wasn’t trying to neglect you. Really! Let’s just get back into the swing of things, ok? OK…

Oh, sorry about that. It’s Wednesday, and I haven’t posted in over a month. For shame! This also complicates today’s post because I wondered what I should talk about. I read several great comics or series in this time span afterall.

For one, Brightest Day and the Flash are both coming along quite nicely. I also read Final Crisis… what an astonishing disappointment that was. But the book I ultimately decided to talk about today was the phenominal series, Y: The Last Man.

Pete’s Wednesday Comics Picks – 5/5/10 – Batman W.T.F.

Posted on May 6, 2010 by Pete Labrozzi

It’s another Wednesday Comics picks appearing on Thursday. I know, I’m sorry. If I have any excuse it’s because I was busy reading a book I want to talk about today, Batman R.I.P.

Batman R.I.P. to most people is old news, but I’m always in a state of playing catch-up so for me, it’s new. It’s also probably the major contributing factor to my being totally lost while reading this book. From start to finish I was so very confused. Confused about characters, their motivations, the backstory, and the significance of the events unfolding before me. It’s with that in mind that I will be writing this review with a lot more aid from the DC Wiki than the book itself. Even then, I’m sure I’m still missing some major points.

C2E2 Swag! a.k.a. How to get your life signed by Geoff Johns

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Pete Labrozzi

I promised in my C2E2 Cosplayers Photos post that I’d post more on C2E2. Well I’m finally getting around to doing so. This post is a little showcase for some of the swag I toted back from the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo.

This was the first con where I really made an attempt to get some signatures from writers and artists that I really like. I was very lucky to get Geoff Johns and Alex Ross to sign several of my things. I tried more than once to meet up with Jim Lee but has bad timing for his scheduled times and was unable to find him elsewhere. I did manage a few other signed items by other people too, but I’ll get into more detail on that and the items when I show them below.
