This Week In Comics for June 20, 2007 - A Fred Review

The Queen - A Fred Review

The Queen

I tend to be a bit hard on movies. There have been thousands of them made. I've seen hundreds myself. There are usually so many that have done what they're trying to do better that I can't help but negatively compare the movie to the ones that have come …

Fred's This Week in Comics for June 6, 2007

Fred's This Week In Comics for May 2, 2007

What a weird week of Whedon this was. I've never had to struggle so hard to choose a favorite book. There's only been one week that I can remember where I liked more books by percentage. Typically I try to only award one A+ per week as my grades are curved and there …

This week was a light week for me. It was also a really shitty week. The average for the week was a C+. DC was the Publisher of the Week. Daredevil #96 was the Book of the Week. X-Men First Class #8 was the Shit Book of the Week. In a better week, this issue of DD would …

Fred's This Week In Comics for April 4, 2007

This was a great week. Every single book I had was great with only one exception. Runaways #25 was given an incomplete because I'm reserving judgment until I see at least one more issue. I had a difficult time choosing my Pick of the Week and my Publisher of The Week. …

Fred's This Week In Comics for March 28, 2007

I was very surprised by this week. I had very low expectations coming into it. I was happy with the outcome. Did expectation play into that? Possibly, but I'm not too concerned with why. The Publisher of the Week was DC. The Book of the Week was Ultimate Spider-Man …

Fred's This Week In Comics for March 21, 2007

My apologies for this going up a little late. I fell asleep in the last 6 pages of my last book last night. So I woke back up around 5:15 or so and got back to it.

Anyway, this was a strange week. I had a bunch of titles that were serviceable and some that were …

Fred's This Week In Comics for March 14, 2007

Well this was certainly an odd week. I tried something new this week. I tried to read all of my books in order of expectation from lowest to highest. I won't ever do that again. My lord it was difficult to read all that shit in a row. My pick of the week was easy to …

Fred's This Week In Comics for March 7, 2007

Fred's This Week In Comics for February 28, 2007

This was a weird week. I don't think I've ever panned such a high percentage of my books before. I had 16 books and 6 of them received a D or an F. All of the F books were waaaay worse than the D books. The accuracy suffers from not being able to go below an F. The book …
