A lighter week here, but some doozies to be had none-the-less: DC Batman And Robin #1 - The one everyone's been waiting for, the new Batman and Robin hit the streets runningflying in a ...
Again with the two major plot threads, tying back into earlier, briefly introduced characters (also cute girls, this did originate as a visual novel game after all). Overall, the tone of this volume was a fair bit more serious (relatively speaking) and almost approaching normal slice-of-life, rather than the ...
Continuing last volume's cliffhanger, we spend the better part of the volume wrapping it up, in requisite ridiculous fashion. Then we're on to getting our lead's proto-Kasukabe girlfriend (yes, I know, completely different creative group than Genshiken, but still) to participate in the next doujinshi event ...
The insanity marches on, as our lead continues to learn the ins and outs of the doujinshi world, finding that its not always successful, and that spurned fans/creators can be really fucking scary. The cast, which seems to keep expanding every few chapters, is working nicely, and the lead ...
For some reason, I thought this was going to be a rather tame series, focused on the crafting of doujinshi with somewhat realistic characterizations. Doujin-making aside, I couldn't have been more wrong. Opening with a nailbat wakeup call, lots of metal references, and a quick jump into the world ...
New acquisition! I'd completely forgotten this was coming out, and so was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting on the shelf at Borders this afternoon. When I was actively following scanlations of Tenjou Tenge, this was constantly sitting off to the side of the translator's site staring ...
Hrm, even given its thinness, that was pretty much less of everything than I was expecting. I've never gotten around to either the OVA or the TV series, but with an android female in the lead, its one of those things that is almost automatically on my radar. ...
And another regular bit to add to the blogging, the weekly comics pulls... Starting things off with a hefty week that sees the ends of several stories and arcs, while a few others begin. DC/Vertigo:...
So, how well does the series finish? The interesting thing about our hero didn't really get any play, an unexpected threat shows up, sacrifices are made, the day is saved, and everything works out in the end. All things considered, a fairly generic tale with a couple underutilized ...
As noted previously, we're continuing with cautious optimism here. While things start off fairly light, with a hunt for food and then preparation of the inevitably bad cooking when the wrong ingredient is used, but then we spiral rapidly downward with the inevitable character death (hey, it is ...
