TONY'S ONLINE TIPS
for Thursday, June 12, 2008

Happy Comics 40

Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy

The decks are mostly cleared for the new book I mentioned at the start of this three-TOT hiatus. I'm quickly writing this note before heading to my daughter's Wednesday night softball game, but, when I get back to work on Thursday morning, the first thing on my "to do" list is a full-length column for Friday. I thank you for your patience.

If you have some extra time on your hands today, you can check out the vast Tony's Online Tips archives and catch up on those TOTs you might have missed over the past eight years:

Or you can visit my message board and meet some of the nicest folks online:

Or can you vote in this week's Tony Polls:

Thanks for spending a part of your day with me. I'll be back tomorrow with more stuff.

THE "TONY" SCALE

Zero Tonys
ZERO: Burn your money before buying any comic receiving this rating. It doesn't *necessarily* mean there's absolutely nothing of value here - though it *could* - but whatever value it might possess shrinks into insignificance before its overall awfulness.

Tony
ONE: Buy something else. Maybe I found something which wasn't completely dreadful in the item, but not enough for me to recommend it when there are better comics available. I only want what's best for you, my children.

TonyTony
TWO: Basic judgment call. I found some value, but not enough to recommend it. My review should give you enough info to decide if you want to take a chance on it. Are you feeling lucky today, punk? Well, are you?

TonyTonyTony
THREE: This denotes something I find perfectly respectable. There are better books out there, but I wouldn't regret buying this item. Based on my review, you should be able to determine if it's of interest to you. Let the Force guide you.

TonyTonyTonyTony
FOUR: I recommend anything earning this rating. Unless you don't like the genre, subject matter, or past work of the creators, I believe you'll enjoy this item. Isn't it uncanny how I can look right into your soul that way?

TonyTonyTonyTonyTony
FIVE: Anything getting this rating is among the best comicdom has to offer. You should buy/read this, even if the genre/subject matter doesn't appeal to you. It's for your own good. Me, I live for comics and books this good...but not in a pathetic "Comic-Book Guy" sort of way.
