Given his unabashed geek credentials, it's no surprise that The Daily Show's resident expert John Hodgman is a comics fan. What's impressive are the depth and strength of his irony-free criticism. If you don't believe me, peep his review of Jack "King" Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze and Brian K Vaughan/Pia Guerra's wrap-up of Y: The Last Man in no less than the New York freakin' Times Book Review. When did DC comics become worthy of the egghead treatment? When John Hodgman got the greenlight to review them, that's when.
You can find the entire three-part review here.
