Retro Review

I had a bit of a false restart on Retro Review last week. It was kind of like an attempt by DC to restart Aquaman on Hawkman… okay, that was a little unfair. Geoff Johns’ Hawkman relaunch was good and did well, and Peter David did a great run on Aquaman. And I don’t think either book had problems with missed deadlines. I need to work on my geeky analogies.

Anyway, with a few things still going on, I needed to take a step back from blogging again, and rethink Retro Review a little. I’ve decided to devote the next couple of weeks to making some gift suggestions for trade paperbacks and runs of older books that would make good gifts for various people, starting with good comic books for children and younger teenagers, but also including good comics for non-comic readers, and people who like their comics a little more indie and a little less mainstream.

I have a large comics library but of course there’s plenty of comic books I’ve never read and know little about: if you feel I’ve missed an important series or a good contender for a particular category, please feel free to make some recommendations of your own in the comments.

See you tomorrow for a review of the wonderful Owly, the only guaranteed all-ages comic book I’ve ever read.

All the best, Derek.
