Dave Buesing's Comic Book Herald Writing!

Dave founded Comic Book Herald in 2011 and has written a lot about comics since that time. See for yourself below!

Previously On #111: 2020 Eisner Votes!

June 26, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

The Eisners are the most well known awards in the comic book industries, selecting the best of comics since 1988, and named in honor of all time great cartoonist Will Eisner. Like all awards ceremonies, they share the trappings of imperfect systems, but winning an Eisner is clearly reason to celebrate for comic book creators and those in the industry.

After seeing a handful of creators and comics-industry folks sharing requests to vote for their work, I was surprised at the apparent openness of voting, like the Eisners were decided ala the NBA All-Star game fan vote. So, naturally, I registered to vote as a “journalist” (“obsessed, aging blogger” is more realistic, but way less impressive sounding), and was delighted to find I could vote!

Previously On #110: X-Men Milestones!

June 19, 2020 by Dave 1 Comment

This week on “Previously On,” I explore Marvel’s “X-Men Milestones” collections, considering the selected events and whether they provide an adequate exploration of X-Men comics history. The inspiration for the column is inspired by the following question.

Joshua asks via the X-Men reading order:

This guide is incredible, thank you for putting it together! i’m interested in reading the messiah complex storylines and subsequent related arcs; do you think the three new milestones trades (messiah complex, messiah war, and second coming) do a good job of covering the necessary material? and should i also read the necrosha milestones trade in the middle of there somewhere?

Crackin’ Crisis: DC’s 1st Anti-Crisis Event — Death Metal #1 Review!

June 17, 2020 by Dave 1 Comment

Dark Nights: Death Metal is the sequel to 2017-2018’s Dark Nights Metal, one of my three favorite comic book events of all time, bringing back the creative superteam of Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and collaborators, amplifying everything that made the original a success to 11. Death Metal’s ambitions are impossibly grand, seeking to unify the history of DC’s Crisis events and the particularly discordant recent years into one epic saga.

Today I’ll answer:

  • How does Death Metal fit into the legacy of DC Crisis events?
  • What makes this an Anti-Crisis?
  • What are the Watchmen Connections to Death Metal?
