Pipeline for 22 June 2004 at Comic Book Resources

On the ‘net, in general, we compare everything to WATCHMEN. After all, if you don’t aim for the best, why shoot at all? Irony, thy name is comics: When J. Michael Straczynski made a reference to WATCHMEN in describing what he’s trying to do with RISING STARS, he came under assault for being presumptuous and the book was attacked for not living up to the promise. After all, it’s our duty to make those comparisons and not the creators, no matter how tangential.

Believe it or not, that leads into a review of CLOSER, the new Oni Press graphic novel. You’ll have to click through to see if I can segue from that paragraph into the review.

Plus: A late “Previewed No More,” a Batmobile sighting, a birthday greeting, and more.

Comments, as always, can go to the Pipeline message board.
