Pop Thought Heaps Big Praise on Steve’s October Releases

Wow, I dunno, but Alex Ness over at Pop Thought has been having something of a love affair with Steve lately. Steve’s work, not the man himself. At any rate, in Alex’s recent column he looks at four new releases from Steve and loves them all. Regarding “Monsters on the Prowl”:

“You get a fun story about some tough guys and some smart guys fighting all the odd beasts who threatened New York City in old weird Marvel titles during the fifties and sixties. The dialogue is perfect. The story is fun. The art is ideal. Buy this. Buy this now.”

Regarding “Giant Monster”:

“Tempting as it is to say big monster destroys earth, earth fights back, there is much more to this than that. I’ve waited three years for this story as I am a great fan of Gargantuan sized monsters, and I have to say that it was a good result, worth waiting for and completely different than I’d expected.”

Regarding “Lonely Tombstone”:

“I think that while this is a title that was not in my realm of taste that it was very good, and if Nikki wants to work with Steve or alone, she is worth watching as a writer. This title has all ages appeal as well as appeal to girls in the awkward stage of adolescence of being attached to tombstones and talking to them.”

And finally, regarding “Batman: Gotham County Line” #1:

“I liked this far more than any recent take on the Batguy. Read for what it is, I suggest that that most non typical Batman readers will enthusiastically return to the rest of the issues of this series. I liked it in all its component parts, production, story and art.”

Thanks, Alex. You’re making us blush. GROUP HUG! Wait, no. Be cool. Keep it together. We got a little ahead of ourselves.
