[9] O'Shea's Offhand Opinions                          Tim O'Shea
                                                timmito@yahoo.com

[Tim O'Shea is an interviewer for www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com

DC: The New Frontier 5
I'm not sure which aspect of the story touched me more, when
Green Lantern flies for the first time (and Cooke makes you feel
like it's the first time) or the dedication of this issue to (in
addition to Julius Schwartz and Russ Heath) Archie Goodwin and
Gil Kane. Their respective influence permeates through this
series.
Yes

Captain America and the Falcon 6 (Marvel)
The inane Scarlet Witch as cab driver (!?!)/romance subplot
really annoys me. But the fact that Priest and Bennett have
reworked Falcon's suit (much better than the headlights version
for Falcon that appeared in Priest's Black Panther) and made the
character worth the read.
Yes

Wolverine/Punisher 5
This series was consistent. Consistently bad. And all the
creators deserve better assignments than this junk.
No

Amazing Fantasy 2
As much as JMS protests/challenges the concept that he mentors
Avery, the aimless nature of the first two issues (I've rarely
seen an origin drag more) betrays him.
No

X-Men Unlimited 4
Good stories take you from point A to point B. These stories go
from Point A to Point 22. While Chuck Austen is gone, the odd
retconning of Juggernaut and Emma Frost continues.
No

Spider-Girl 77
Y'know in the battle of Marvel editor-in-chiefs who write comics,
DeFalco is a far superior to Quesada. This series is prime
evidence.

DC Comics Presents: Green Lantern 1
The Azzarello tale is stronger than the Pasko Green Lantern. I'm
just so tired of the Hal is a drunk subplot and it seemed so
wrong in this Schwartz tribute.
Yes/No

X-Men 447
Alan Davis great art still can't overcome Claremont's dialogue
and plotting.
No

Exiles 50
So boring makes me wish this series would end. I normally love
Bedard, but not with this book.
No

Book One: X-Men Dreamers & Demons The End
I only wish "The End" books would end. What a waste of future
quarter bin space.
No

DC Comics Presents: Hawkman 1
Busiek and Simonson together? If only this was a monthly gig.
Yes

Birds of Prey 71
I want to like Simone's BoP, but this arc has made it impossible.
No

Scratch 3
Maybe when I'm older Sam Kieth will appeal to me. For now, it's
an amazing squandering of printing ink and paper.
No

Firestorm 4
This issue is the polar opposite to past issues I've read. It
holds together, garners my interest and makes me want to read the
next issue. The fact that the eclectically over-rated ChrisCross
is gone very soon makes me even more interested. He's not that
talented or consistent folks.
Yes

Majestic 1
Typically Abnett and Lanning leave me unimpressed. This issue
(ignoring the Superman overused homage cover) made me glad I
picked the issue up. Though I must admit, the narrative goes
totally nonsensical toward the end, and could stand to be better
edited.
Yes

Y: The Last Man 25
Fist issue that I've not found lacking in quite awhile. Longtime
readers get a partial sense of closure/contentment with this
issue.
Yes

Swamp Thing 6
Makes as much sense as your average country's foreign and
domestic policy. Save your money.
No

Justice League Elite 2
Plot holes and nonsensical story devices on nearly every page.
The cover blurb says "Nope! Not Your Daddy's Justice League!" All
I can say is "That's good, now I know to spend my money
elsewhere."
No

Batman Detective Comics 797
Wake me when this War Games junk is over. I'd sooner watch that
dated Matthew Broderick film.
No

    Almost.
    "Table for One" is a graphic novel about one evening in the
life of the owner, staff, and customers of a restaurant. No
super-heroes, no super-villains, no spandex, no latex: hurray!!!
    Almost.
    Will is the egotistic, handsome nephew of the restaurant's
grossly overweight owner (who looks much like the villain The
Kingpin from Daredevil Comics) and the protagonist of the
evening.
    You will almost like him.
    You will almost hate every other character. In fact, if this
graphic novel is meant to be a microcosm of life (and I believe
it is), life stinks. Why?
    Every character, including Will, is selfish, dishonest,
miserable, and pro-fane. Theirs is an unrelentingly dark, nasty,
physically and spiritually violent, dog-eat-dog world. But there
is some good in the real world, and this story needs some good.
    Dialog in Fawstin's world comes close to ringing true, but
almost every page is laced with profanity and too many characters
are too consciously clever in their conversations. There is some
pun in the real world, but this story needs less *%!@%# and less
pun.
    The artist's minimalistic art is almost excellent and
reminiscent of master artist Alex Toth's style.  Minimalism means
no visual detail is included unless necessary to the story.
Almost excellent means that some characters are barely doodles.
    In addition, Fawstin's staging bears little resemblance to
reality because he over-works clever angles and visual gimmicks
meant to make mundane scenes visually interesting. As example, in
one panel Will's angry expression is seen through a rectangle
literally cut out of his uncle whose back is to the reader. Too
much obvious staging destroys a reader's suspension of disbelief.
    Almost every comment on every aspect of Table for One seems
slightly negative.  Does that mean that this graphic novel is not
worth reading?
    No.
    Table for One is almost re-commended.  MV

Daisy Kutter #1 (of 4)
Writer/Artist: Kazu Kibuishi
Publisher: Viper Comics
Released: August 4, 2004

Fresh from their success with Dead@17, Viper Comics is releasing
a miniseries of another color - a Western Sci-Fi Manga.

Now most gunfighters have reputations right?  Well Daisy Kutter
is the most notorious of them all.  She once single-handedly took
down a fleet of supply frigates with only a shotgun.  But that's
all in the past.  She hung up her gun and opened a general store.
Unfortunately for Daisy Kutter, old habits die hard.  Antsy and
bored, she's lured back to the gambling tables where she loses it
all.  There's an offer to pick up her gun again, but the deal
sounds fishy.  However, Daisy may have to do it to get back what
she's lost.

Kazu Kibuishi really knows how to pace a story, balancing the
visuals and the dialogue.  At first, it looks like your normal
western, but when Daisy steps outside, you see that the world
around her is anything but California in the 1840's.  There are
large mechanical beasts, robots and alien-looking beings.

At the end of the issue, there's a short story by Philip Craven
about a canine detective and what he encounters when he takes a
wrong turn on his way home.  True to the detective genre, this
story is bittersweet and makes you feel like giving that old dog
a bone for everything that he goes through.  He's just trying to
make a living, but he always seems to end up in trouble, even
when he's trying to avoid it.

Dead@17: Rough Cut volume 1
Writers/Artists: Various
Publisher: Viper Comics
Released: August 4, 2004

It's great to see Dead@17 become so popular that other creators
are inspired to try their hand at it.  This is an amazing
collection of 6 stories by fans of the comic as well as a new
story by Josh Howard.  All of these stories fill in and add to
the world of Dead@17.

"Catalyst" by Josh Howard is about the beginning of Nara's
relationship with Elijah and of Nara's transformation.  Josh's
art is rougher here, but I rather like it.  The dialogue is very
strong and funny at moments.  I loved seeing Hazy holding her
ground against the others.

"Amputation" by Alex Hamby and Martin Abel delves into the
underworld to reveal how Bolabogg was brought into the world.
Gruesome and beautiful, Martin Abel illustrates the seduction and
horror of dealing with the devil.  The most striking part of this
story was Bolabogg's motivation to take on human flesh.  It's
easy to assume that evil just wants to be evil, but here we
finally understand why Bolabogg is so full of hate and anger.

While I enjoyed all of the stories, the one that stood out to me
the most was "Simon's Night" by Egg Embry, Benjamin Hall and
Marlena Hall.  This was powerful and emotionally charged, both in
writing and art.  It almost had me crying at the end.  I finally
understood why Simon did what he did.

"Dead Air" by Jason M. Burns, Scotty Law and Rick Oslovic is a
good example of a classic horror story.  It' starts out innocent
and fun with a radio reporter doing a live report out in the
woods.  She flirts with the tech guy, trying to get him to do it
with her in the van, but he refuses.  Soon they start hearing
things and get scared at what might be out there in the dark.  A
very thrilling story, my only complaint was that some of the
latter pages were too dark and it was difficult to see what was
going on.

"Fight to Live" by David Hopkins and Sean Stephens gives us some
insight into the Protectorate and the men and women who work for
it.  An action-packed story, we see one of the Protectorate
agents fighting for his life while Nara rises from her grave.  I
was moved by the agent's story and his futile struggle.  Sean
Stephens' art is just amazing.  It's perfect for an action story
like this as it kept the story moving forward at a rapid pace,
but without being rushed.

"Fast Food" by Pat Bussey is just the comic relief needed after
all the seriousness going on in the previous stories.  As much as
I like the seriousness of Dead@17, sometimes it's overwhelming
and some humor is need.  Fast Food is a perfect blend of comedy
and horror.

The timeline on the inside cover was really helpful at placing
all of the events, not only for these stories, but for the
overall story of Dead@17.  If you're like me and get dates easily
confused, refer back to this as often as you need to keep things
straight in your mind.

If you're new to Dead@17, this probably isn't your best choice to
start with.  I highly recommend buying the first trade of Dead@17
and then reading this.  It'll make a lot more sense since all of
these stories take place around the first miniseries.  Then you
can pick up the second miniseries either through back issues or
waiting for the trade to come out.

Digital Webbing Presents #15
Writers/Artists: Various
Publisher: Digital Webbing
Released: July 21, 2004
Ranging from supernatural visions to the grittiness of war to
social anxiety, Digital Webbing Presents a wide range of stories
from some very talented creators.  If you haven't picked up any
DWP, this is a good place to start!

This month's feature is one of the most intriguing I've read so
far.  "Crazy Mary" is about a genetically enhanced woman who can
see things that others can't, and it's made her crazy, but not
insane.  While what she sees doesn't always lead her in the right
direction, she's right more often than not.  In this story, she
picks up a teddy bear lying in the gutter.  Following her
feelings and visions, she's able reunite the teddy bear with its
owner.  The execution of this story was wonderfully done.  Some
comics use narration awkwardly, but Michael Colbert excellently
tells the story through narration.  I'm very much looking forward
to this continuing in its own miniseries.

"Soldier: 76 -the Vigil" tells the tale of the second American
Civil War.  Gritty in both art and story, this follows one man on
his mission to defend the people against the government.  The
government has turned its back on the people and wants to
subjugate through martial law.  While this is definitely not my
kind of story, it is very well done.  I'm sure that those who
like war stories will enjoy this.

"Spook'd" has become one of my favorite running strips in Digital
Webbing Presents.  This one is about a mad doctor trying to bring
back his love from the dead, only to mess up by putting her in
the wrong body.  I love the humor in "Spook'd" and can't wait to
see what the next one will be about.

"Bliss" is about seeing the good in your life and not always
focusing on the negatives.  Unfortunately for the main character,
he realizes this too late.  I really enjoyed the art in this one.
The grey scaling was done very well.  The only problem I had with
the story was that it's just not my type of story.  And it was a
little predictable.  I just knew he wasn't getting off the hook
for doing what he did, but maybe I'm supposed to know that it'll
still end in tragedy even though he's made the realization.

"Love & Paramnesia" made my heart all aflutter!  I'm a sucker for
a good romance drama every now and then, and this one hit the
spot.  This follows two neighbors and their problems with dealing
with the world and other people.  They both have social anxiety,
but they manage to work through it and speak to each other.  The
art in this was superb.  Every emotion was strong, every facial
expression very telling.  I don't know how this story could be
continued, but I'd love to see more of these two and their
troubles.

"Just Another Wednesday" is my other favorite running strip.  It
always makes me laugh out loud and, in some cases, I connect with
it.  This one is hilarious as the two guys are trying on their
Batman and Robin costumes, which aren't quite perfect.

This issue was a little hit and miss for me, but Crazy Mary was
definitely worth it.  I guess I'm not the only one who thinks so
because it's officially sold out.  Now that doesn't mean you
can't find a copy.  If your retailer doesn't have any, check out
online stores.  I'm sure someone's bound to have a copy.

The Symbiotes #1 (of 8)
Writer: Davis R. Vaughn
Penciler: George Lippert
Publisher: Drive Comics
Released: July 21, 2004

This is one of the few times I've picked up a comic book because
of the graphics and I have to tell you that the graphics are
stunning! Rendered in amazing CGI, The Symbiotes seamlessly
blends the animation medium with the printed medium.  There were
many points where I thought the characters would start moving!

The sci-fi comic is about a war between humans and non-humans.
In this case, the humans don't look to be the good guys because
they discriminate against anyone who isn't 100% human.  They want
to subjugate or eradicate anything that isn't like them.  This
first issue introduces us to several of the key characters,
almost too many to keep a track of.  But with a solid 48 pages,
there's plenty of room to see them all in action and be amazed by
the different worlds that they live on.

While the graphics are fantastic and almost beyond description, I
do have one complaint.  Many of the panels are just too dark.  I
understand what effect they were going for, but it took me quite
a while to figure out what was going on in the first few pages.
I'm sure it all looked much brighter on the computer screen
because of the back light, but with print, the light source
shines onto the page.  I'd recommend taking the whole book and
lightening it so that the effects of having darker panels aren't
lost.  A minor complaint would be that many people's faces were
in shadow, even on the brighter pages, and that made it difficult
to read the facial expressions.

Overall, this is a great beginning to an amazing concept.  I'm
looking forward to more beautiful graphics and to the development
of the story.

"Off the Top..."

Street Angel #1 and #2 (Slave Labor Graphics, March and June
2004):  I really missed the boat on this one!  I knew about it
ahead of time, but forgot and it got by me.  Don't let this gem
slip through your fingers.  This is an unpretentious comic that is
both funny and down-to-earth.  "Jesse Sanchez is an orphan raised
by the streets. In an unforgiving world overrun with poverty, drug
abuse, nepotism, and ninjas, Sanchez fights for the poor, the
forgotten, and whenever possible, for food."  Don't miss the third
issue coming out in September!

Dawn: Three Tiers #4 (Image, July 28, 2004):  Dawn was the comic
that got me interested in comic books again and it continues to
amaze me with the depth and complexity of it.  The mythology is as
beautiful as the art.  Though this issue was pretty clear and
simple - men can be fools when it comes to women.  I, like most
women who've read Dawn, think Darrian is a hot hunk.  But up until
now, I didn't really know how foolish he could be.  In this issue,
he dresses up like an idiot and makes himself look weak, all for
the affections of a beautiful woman.  And he doesn't realize that
she's playing him until the end.  I'm looking forward to the next
issue for the answer - was it worth it?

NHS #118 (Antarctic Press, July 28, 2004): Written by Katie Bair,
NHS has some of the strongest characters I've ever read about.
The relationships and conflicts are well written and very moving.
There's a lot of pop culture humor and zany situations, but deep
down it's a drama about the difficulties of growing up in a not-
so-normal world.  This issue focuses on Yoshiko who grew up being
mostly invisible to her parents.  This had a very negative affect
on her psyche, which messes up her relationships with others.
Thankfully, she's found a friend through the use of online chat.
I'm very anxious for them to meet in person because they'll be
perfect together.  They'll be able to help each other with their
problems and most importantly, make each other laugh.

Sabrina #59 (Archie, July 14, 2004): If you know a young teen
female, do her a favor and buy her Sabrina.  This is the best
mixing of American and Japanese comic book styles I have ever
seen.  Still about Sabrina's struggles with relationships and
growing up, it is now beautifully drawn in the manga style by
Tania del Rio, of Rising Star of Manga fame.  The manga style
enhances the already existing magic of Sabrina's world and brings
a quality to it that many females (young and old) will enjoy.

DC Comics/2000 Ad Preview (July 28, 2004):  This is free so if
you see it, pick it up and check out the line up of collections
starting in September.  I was introduced to 2000 AD only a few
months before DC made the deal to release 2000 AD material in
America.  Of the first few titles listed, I'm not that excited
about, but hopefully they'll get deeper into the huge library of
stories.  There are 3 shorts in this preview, one of them being a
very hilarious Judge Dredd story called "Finger of Suspicion."
This poor sap had his hand caught in a washroom tap for seven
days and it permanently disfigured his hand so that his middle
finger always stands up.  You can see how this can get him into a
lot of trouble... and it does.

The White Elephant (Alternative Comics, July 21, 2004):  Whether
you have or haven't read any of Damon Hurd's work before, "My
Uncle Jeff" or "A Sort of Homecoming," you have to pick this up.
Very moving and heart-felt, it's a journey through one man's past
as he tries to come to terms with it and his feelings.  I only
had one complaint and that was I had a little problem following
the flow of images and dialogue, but it didn't detract very much
from the emotional journey I went through while reading this.

Movie Reviews: Spider-Man 2

Starring:

Tobey Maguire       Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Kirsten Dunst       Mary J. Watson
James Franco        Harry Osborn
J.K. Simmons        J. Jonah Jameson
Rosemary Harris     Aunt May
Alfred Molina       Dr. Otto Octavius

5 out of 5 stars rating says me.

Wow!!  This may be the best superhero movie of all time.  Great
effects, top notch story, characters, subplots, seamless editing,
pathos, romance, hilarious comedy, classical subtext.  "Spider-
Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can."  Oh yes, the old
great Spider-Man cartoon theme from the 60's is there, Stan Lee
is there.  If you don't like this movie, then don't bother going
to another superhero movie, because you won't like them either.
This movie has it all.  Tobey Maguire can act; I don't believe
any other actor could have pulled this role off.  Same for
Kirsten Dunst as MJ,  J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, Rosemary
Harris as Aunt May.  James Franco and Albert Molina also do a top
notch job. James as the tortured Harry Osborn, and Alfred as the
nano possessed Doc Ock.  Kudos to the casting director. Spider-
Man has to go through a should I be, shouldn't I, plus a
psychological block that sometimes stymies his spider-powers if
he's thinking too much.  More MJ as Peter wrestles with dealing
with the love of his life, good to see MJ becoming successful,
though frustrated with Peter.  Great visuals of Spidey swinging
through the streets and battling Doc Ock.  Great humor with the
initial pizza delivery segment, the washing machine segment, J.
Jonah Jameson diatribes, Spidey admonishing two kids not to play
in the street; "yes, Mr. Spider-Man", and Aunt May throwing out
Peters' comic books, "those dreadful things".    A mention of
Doctor Strange in the movie, can't call Doc Ock that because it's
already taken.  Check out Doc Ock's tentacles acting like the
velociraptors in Jurassic Park. Don't miss Bruce Campbell's (Army
of Darkness) cameo, playing a different character than in the
first Spidey film. Aunt May is great as Peter's moral center. "I
believe there's a hero in all, Peter.  We all need heroes to
inspire us and give us hope.  Tell your friend Spider-man we need
him back".  Hmm, Aunt May may know more about Peter then she let's
on.  Also cameos by Cliff Robertson (Uncle Ben) and Willem Dafoe
(Norman Osborne), hmmmm. Please go see this movie, treat yourself.
You will like it if you even remotely like comic books, true
believer.

X-Men, X-Men 2, Daredevil, Hulk, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2.  The
60's were the comic book Age of Marvel, the 2000's are the
movies' Age of Marvel.  Next up for Marvel: Fantastic Four in
2005.  Casting so far: Michael Chiklis (The Shield) as Ben
Grimm/Thing, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm/Invisible Girl, and Ray
Liotta as Dr. Doom.  DC has a new Batman movie and Superman movie
coming out, plus Hellboy 2.

EXCALIBUR #3 REVIEW

Reviewer: Omar A. Safi, safi@sbcglobal.net
Quick Rating: Above Average
Story Title: Forging the Sword, 3 of 4: Wild Things

Three kids go undercover to stop an Omega Sentinel before it
awakens.

Writer: Chris Claremont
Pencils: Aaron Lopresti
Inkers: Greg Adams & Andrew Pepoy
Letterer: Tom Orzechowski
Assistant Editors: Moore, Ryan & Sedlemeier
Editor in Chief: Joe Quesada
Publisher: Dan Buckley

Excalibur #3 continues my distaste for the title. The series
started out steadily with the revelation of Magneto's return,
despite my hopes of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run not being
deconstructed. Excalibur had promise with the interesting premise
of Xavier and Magneto rebuilding Genosha together. After a
tentacle-armed Callisto joined the cast, the second issue did not
hold up to its promise with the direction seemingly moving into
silliness. Wild Things does not help much either.

The issue begins with Xavier imagining that an Omega Sentinel was
killing him. After being aided by an imaginary Moira MacTaggart,
Xavier calms himself and realizes he tapped into another
telepath's mind. The reappearance of Moira is becoming a little
too much and I assume she will become a regular reoccurrence.

Meanwhile, Hack, Hub, and Purge are three teenage mutants who are
spying on Unus and his group, for unknown reasons as of yet. Hub
teleports them onto an airplane carrying two stasis pods,
containing Shola, an upcoming character in the series, and the
Omega Sentinel; although, their attempt does not go
uninterrupted. Several guards protecting the pods detect the trio
and a fight ensues over the cargo. The plane eventually crashes,
jettisoning the pods. Xavier hears the crash and prepares to
engage the pods, with the help of Magneto and Callisto. A battle
between Xavier and the guards looms for the next issue.

The plot so far offers little depth and little to entice the
reader for the next issue. The subplot of who Magnet's "imposter"
was is pushed to the side, along with any further exploration of
the story. This drives the idea that the story was only written
in to cover up the previous story and is not fully developed.
This plot probably holds the most interest in the series for the
most readers, so it should be addressed soon. Second, the antics
of various characters do not entertain very well and the
rebuilding of Genosha has not been a highlight yet; although, the
fact that this is the third issue is still in mind.

Besides these cons, the prolonged prose narration that Claremont
is often accused of is quite absent though the dialogue does not
manage to be the sharpest in today's market.

Artist Aaron Lopresti does a solid job on the book again;
although, his usual quality is hampered by the addition of a
second inker, Andrew Pepoy. Pepoy's inks subtract from Lopresti's
typical crisp look. Besides the inks, Lopresti visualizes
Excalibur nicely but does not offer anything unique in the art.
Andy Park's cover is an appealing depiction of the Omega
Sentinel.

Overall, Excalibur #3 comes off as mundane but hopefully
Claremont can conclude Forging the Sword with some anticipation
for the series.

ART: 3.0
STORY: 2.5
OVERALL: 3.0
