CBR Review: Do Anything Volume 1: Jack Kirby Ripped My Flesh

I recently reviewed Do Anything Volume 1: Jack Kirby Ripped My Flesh for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Do Anything Volume 1: Jack Kirby Ripped My Flesh collects the 24 'Do Anything' columns from Bleeding Cool, albeit in an altered form. The 24 columns become 15 chapters here as columns are combined and edited to read better on the page. It’s a strange journey of freeform connections as Ellis begins with Jack Kirby and moves on from there to Philippe Druillet, George Lucas, Will Eisner, Archie Goodwin, Moebius, David Bowie, and dozens of others. It’s an odd mishmash of comics history and pop culture history mixed with Ellis’ own flights of fancy and personal anecdotes."

You can read the rest HERE! (And, if you're wondering why it lists Warren Ellis as the artist, it's because CBR's reviewing system won't accept it without an artist. Huh. Now you know.)
