Comics Took A Back Seat This Week

It was a rough weekend here at stately Gonzalez Manor, between a nasty virus laying the kids low and our respective exhaustion meters hitting their red lines, coupled with my 9-to-5 making it impossible to stay on top of my four-color fixation most of the week. Days like this are what escapist entertainment were made for. If only I could stay awake long enough to escape! As a result, not much posting here, including my missing my first Vs. Card of the Week entry. :-(Anyway, in case you haven't gotten into the habit of checking Buzzscope every day yet (why…

Let's just get to it, yes?Black HoleBy Charles Burns (Pantheon, 2005; $24.95)There are some comic books that I simply do not have the critical vocabulary to properly review, like a casual art fan who finds himself in The Prado standing speechless before Breughel's "The Triumph of Death" in all its full-size glory.

COMMENT: Silver Bullet Comics is at it AGAIN!

UPDATED.I'm sure they consider this one more subtle than the last one they ran, with Power Girl's heaving breasts and a "What a pair!" tagline, which Ronée took them to task for and was quickly removed.Nice way to live down to a stereotype. Idiots!And what does that say about Matt Brady, who presumably approves these ads that run on his site? Spineless.The original's linked over on the Buzz Blog, so it'll be interesting to see if/when they edit it, like they did last time.EDIT: Just want to clarify that this is Silver Bullet Comics, the North Carolina retailer and one…
