Mad

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Comics and Graphic Novels
from: E.C. Publications, Inc.

March 15, 2002
I started reading this magazine in the early 90's, when I was a kid. My dad had a few from the 60's and 70's, and I have expanded my collection since then to include a good amount from the 80's. That stuff was brilliant.

Artists die, we know that. New artists and writers can be good, but the MAD magazine of the 2000's isn't worth buying. Why did MAD start putting in ads? Wasn't it making enough money by itself? I loved MAD for the fact that it was ad-free, and the brilliant writing and artwork, laced with biting satire. Now, the humor in there is more of the "potty humor" level, and is the kind of thing juveniles laugh over.

Now it's not worth the paper it's printed on, and CRACKED magazine has gone the same way. Why ... Read More:

Heavy Metal

from: Heavy Metal


If you know HM already, you know that it's not like other comic magazines. It has no fixed characters, artists, or story lines. Instead, each issue is a collection of illustrated stories, portfolios, and reviews of varied material.

That said, some artists (Suydam, Corbin, and lots of others) have been regulars here for decades. And yes, some stories do last from issue to issue. And yes, HM does have a consistent look to it: adventure/fantasy/SF, with a post-PG13 emphasis on fully inflated female figures. It's ideal for 14-year-old boys with inflamed if uninformed imaginations. It's not "adult" by any means, but advertises lots of videos, books, and magazines that are.

If you're serious about comics, you must pay attention ... Read More:

Batman Comics

This is a great comic book better than spider-man and x-men (wich i have).
Batman has always been my favorite comic book character anyhow.
But i will have to say this comic is not for kids (1-12) but what comics are nowadays.

I ordered this for my son at the end of March (the 25th) and it's June 15th and it's still not here. He ask everyday if it's come in the mail. At the very latest it was to be here June 3rd. I wish I hadn't told him about it....

Justice League of America

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Comics and Graphic Novels
from: Dc Comics


This comic is inappropriate for younger kids. The issues we received last year were nice superhero comics that my 8 year old could enjoy. However, the last 2 issues have featured women with large breasts and the text is full of sexual innuendoes. It has a Mad Magazine insert full of sketches showing a third arm instead of a penis. Fine for older teens (I guess) but not for my kid. My impression of Justice League has always been what I remember from Saturday morning cartoons. This is different. And I'm left wondering ... did I miss something before when I thought it was appropriate or did it change? I emailed the publisher but received no response.

Detective Comics

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Comics and Graphic Novels
from: Dc Comics


Paul Dini and the various writers that fill in for him are doing a great job on Detective Comics. To give you an idea here is my review of Detective Comics #833

From one of the most glorious periods in Batman's history- the Animated Series era, comes Paul Dini, who came from the adaptation side of writing Batman over to the comic book side. Paul Dini has now been a regular writer on Detective Comics (known fondly by fans as 'Tec) for a few months now and let me say, the latest issue, 'Tec #833 is the best issue he has done yet.

"Trust" starts with Batman saving the lives of magician's assistants in a trick gone wrong, one of the magicians assistants died seemingly from all of the smoke in the fire. The magician-- a man by the name ... Read More:
