Shark-Man #2 – Review

By Michael Town, David Elliott, Ronald Shusett (story) Steve Pugh (script & art) It seems that a couple of weeks have passed. Commissioner Raymond asks Gaskill for help regarding the sea monster that’s been terrorizing local waters. She’s thinking that Gaskill’s father has a stealth sub in the shape of a giant shark. But who’s [...]

Daredevil #105 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Michael Lark, Paul Azaceta & Stefano Gaudiano (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors) Like Brian Bendis’ run on Daredevil, Ed Brubaker really knows how to hurt and torture our hero. Old Hornhead’s confrontation with Mr. Fear has been building up for months now and with this issue we’re finally given the conclusion. At [...]

Spider-Man: With Great Power #2 (of 5) – Review

By David Lapham (writer), Tony Harris (pencils), Jim Clark (inks), J.D. Mettler (colors) *sigh* I want to love this book. I really do. Spider-Man’s my favorite character, the creative team is incredibly talented, and yet, this book fails on so many levels. David Lapham’s story is such an enigma; it’s just frustrating. I can’t remember [...]

Captain America #35 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Butch Guice (pencils & inks), Mike Perkins (inks), Frank D’Armata (colors) There’s something off about this issue. Butch Guice is filling in on penciling duties, and he does a wonderful job aping Steve Epting. But it’s not his art, it’s Frank D’Armata’s colors. From since I can remember (of this current [...]

Thor #6 – Review

By J. Michael Straczynski (writer), Olivier Coipel (pencils), Mark Morales (inks), Laura Martin (colors) At last! The showdown we’ve been waiting for: The town meeting in Nebraska! As short as it is, we’re treated to a bunch of laughs and comedic dialogue. From there, we’re shown how the people in this rural town have interacted [...]

Kick-Ass #1 – Review

By Mark Millar (writer), John Romita Jr. (pencils), Tom Palmer (inks), Dean White (colors) Everything you’ve heard about this book is true. It’s gritty, real, and violent. For those not in the know, the book’s premise is simple: A high school kid who’s a big comic book fan wonders why no one ever dresses up [...]

Ultimate Iron-Man II #3 – Review

By Orson Scott Card (writer), Pasqual Ferry (artist), Dean White, Laura Martin, Dave McCaig, Paul Mounts (colorists) VC’s Cory Petit (letterer) The first two issues of Ultimate Iron-Man were excellent! That said, Iron Man II #3 falls a bit short of expectations. The good build up, action, and intensity that ran through the previous issues [...]

Forgotten Realms: Legacy #1 – Review

By R.A. Salvator (writer), Andrew Dabb (script), Rob Atkins (pencils), Clayton Brown (inks), Wes Dzioba (colors) Time flies when you’re having fun. Unlike Marvel’s Anita Blake novel adaptatons which have been coming out at a snail’s pace (they haven’t even finished adapting the first book!), Devil’s Due has wasted no time in putting our R.A. [...]

The Ultimates 3 #3 – Review

By Jeph Loeb (writer), Joe Mauereira (art), Christian Lichtner (colors) Okay, if you can get past the first four pages of this issue – wow, you’re actually in for something pretty decent! In Ultimates 3 #3, Jeph Loeb finally decides to tell a story! And honestly, what happens here could have been told in issue [...]

Dead Space #1 (Special Convention Edition) – Review

By Anthony Johnston (writer) & Ben Templesmith (art) Dead Space is an Electronic Arts game that’s going to be released in Fall 2008 for video game consoles and the PC platform. This comic is the prequel to that game, and since I’m going to buy the game, I don’t mind reading the comic book to [...]

Ultimate Human #2 (of 4) – Review

By Warren Ellis (writer), Cary Nord (art), Dave Stewart (colors) Cary Nord’s art is a mixed bag these days. On Conan, his sketchy style of art worked because of the colorist he had working with him. In Ultimate Human, it’s a bit off when characters are sitting around talking. His art looks painfully domestic and [...]

Angel: After the Fall #4 – Review

By Joss Whedon (plot), Brian Lynch (plot & script), Franco Urru (illustrator) & Jason Jensen (colored) Connor is in great danger because Angel killed the son of a ruling Lord of Los Angeles. Angel is forced to use a magic book to heal himself (looks like the Book of the Dead), since we learned last [...]

Conan #49 – Review

By Timothy Truman (writer), Tomas Guirello (art), Jose Villarrubia (color) Argh! This issue ends so abruptly that it’s frustrating! I was somewhat disappointed with last issue’s story. Thankfully, Conan #49 gives us more progress. After defeating Conan and the princess’ entourage, the undead army mistakenly takes the queen’s servant, Iniri to the city-state of Yaralet. [...]

Mighty Avengers #9 – Review

By Brian Michael Bendis (writer), Mark Bagley (pencils), Danny Miki, Allen Martinez & Victor Olazaba (inks), Justin Ponsor (colors), Marko Djurdjevic (art) Wow, where do I start? I guess it’s safe to say that this series is finally getting back on track after months and months of delays. The story picks up exactly where the [...]

Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #1 – Review

By Jenna Jameson (creator & story), Christina Z (story & script) & Mukesh Singh (art) First of all, no, it’s not a porn comic book. It may have that stigma associated with it because of Jenna Jameson’s name, but it has nothing to do with that (sorry, guys). Believe me, you’ll find more porn in [...]

Iron Man #26 – Review

By Daniel & Charles Knauf (writers), Roberto De La Torre (art), Dean White (colors) Tony Stark’s a busy guy this week! In Avengers he’s sucked into a time vortex and in his own book, well, let’s just say he’s sucked into another kind of vortex. The story arc involving the Mandarin doesn’t conclude this issue, [...]
