X-Men: Legacy #210 – Review
Posted on April 30, 2008 by pozzyfreak
Mike Carey (Writer), Scot Eaton, Greg land (Penciler), John Dell, Andrew Hennessy, Jay Leisten (Inkers), Brian Reber and Frank D’Armata (Colorist) First off, I must mention that I have only recently returned to reading X-Men comics after the Messiah Complex drew me back in. I mention this because it surprises me how much I have [...]

Hulk Vs. Hercules: When Titans Clash #1 – Review
Posted on April 30, 2008 by andrewcmurphy
By Greg Pak & Fred Van Lente (writers), Khoi Pham, Paul Neary, Dennis Calero, Eric Nguyen, Reilly Brown, Carlos Guevas, Terry Pallot, Chris Sotomayor, Bob Layton, and Guru EFX (artists) I’m always wary of annuals, “Giant-Size” issues, and “One-Shots”. Usually if a story ends up in an annual it’s because it has no clear place [...]

Thor: Ages of Thunder – Review
Posted on April 30, 2008 by lotrking
By Matt Fraction (Writer), Patrick Zircher and Khari Evans (Pencils), Patrick Zircher and Victor Olazaba (Inks), and June Chung and Jelena Kevic Djurdejevic (Colors) With Straczynski’s best-selling Thor series exploring Thor’s exploits in the modern day, this issue gives the reader a contrasting, and much needed, look into the epic past of the Thunder God.

Batman #675 – Review
Posted on April 29, 2008 by Deamentia
By Grant Morrison (writer), Ryan Benjamin (pencils), Saleem Crawford (inks), Guy Major (colors) I’m not sure how this issue will prelude into the big Batman event coming next month (Batman R.I.P.), but one thing’s for certain, Bruce Wayne is acting quite erratic. For those who haven’t been following, Bruce did some experiments with death a [...]

Avengers: The Initiative #12 – Review
Posted on April 29, 2008 by pozzyfreak
By Dan Slott, Christos N. Gage, (Writers) and Steve Uy (Artist) Avengers: The Initiative has been one of my favorite reads for quite some time now. That is why it almost pains me to say that this issue is a failure on a number of different levels. It does have high points, but unfortunately, those [...]

She-Hulk #28 – Review
Posted on April 28, 2008 by rtarturo
By Peter David (Writer), Val Semeiks (Pencils), Dave Meikis with Victor Olazaba (Inks), Chris Sotomayor (Colors) She-Hulk is in jail? What happened? Did I miss an issue? No, Peter David starts at the end and backtracks to how we got to this point, which is an effective device. The book opens with a nice Byrne-esque [...]

New Avengers #40 (Secret Invasion) – Review
Posted on April 27, 2008 by Deamentia
By Brian Michael Bendis (writer), Jim Cheung (pencils), John Dell (inks), Justin Ponsor (colors) Much like last week’s Mighty Avengers #12, this week’s offering of New Avengers #40 has practically nothing to do with the Avengers as all. For those of you who are closely following Secret Invasion, this is a must buy issue. I [...]

X-Force #3 – Review
Posted on April 26, 2008 by pozzyfreak
By Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Artist) After what has been an extremely rough start for the X-Force re-launch, part three of the “Angels and Demons” storyline hints that the series is starting to find its footing. With that said, however, I must mention that issue #3 is very much a Purifier [...]

Skrull Kill Krew (TPB) – Review
Posted on April 26, 2008 by Deamentia
By Grant Morrison & Mark Millar (writers), Steve Yeowell (pencils), Chris Ivy (inks), Various (colors) Given its premise, I’d say this book (originally a five issue mini-series) was ahead of its time when it was released back in 1995. Yes, the art and much of the dialogue reek of the flamboyant nature of the comic [...]

Young Avengers Presents #4 – Review
Posted on April 25, 2008 by andrewcmurphy
By Paul Cornell (writer), Mark Brooks (pencils), Jaime Mendoza (inks) I miss the Vision. There was a time when he was the coolest character in the Marvel universe. He was the reason you bought The Avengers, a synthetic cross between Dr. Spock and Superman. But over the years, the writers ran out of stories to [...]

Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #2 – Review
Posted on April 25, 2008 by mulderwastaken
By Jenna Jameson (created & story), Christina Z (story & script) & Mukesh Singh (art) Heh, I was right with my review of the first issue. Issue #2 is another weird tale and it doesn’t get much better either. I really don’t know what it is about this series – maybe I was expecting something [...]

Witchblade #117 – Review
Posted on April 24, 2008 by pozzyfreak
By Ron Marz (writer) & Stjepan Sejic (art) Witchblade #117 has a lot on its plate and, as such, the issue as a whole suffers from trying to tell three intertwined stories within just over 20 pages. That’s not to say this issue is a bad read however, as the final pages will leave the [...]

Hulk #3 – Review
Posted on April 24, 2008 by Deamentia
By Jeph Loeb (writer), Ed McGuiness (pencils), Dexter Vines (inks), Jason Keith (colors) The Hulk is nothing like the work Greg Pak did on his Incredible Hulk run. What Jeph Loeb has done is distance himself as far away as possible. And to be honest, if I were Loeb I’d do the same thing. Pak’s [...]

Uncanny X-Men #497 – Review
Posted on April 23, 2008 by Deamentia
By Ed Brubaker (writer), Michael Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colors) Since the X-Men have been divided, this title has been on a slump. The whole time warping plot in San Francisco (where everyone’s reverted to hippies) has dragged its feet for two months now, and the boys in Russia have done nothing but get into [...]

Thor #8 – Review
Posted on April 23, 2008 by Deamentia
By J. Michael Straczynski (writer), Marko Djurdjevic (pencils), Mark Morales (inks), Laura Martin (colors) One thing I’ve been enjoying about this new Thor run is J. Michael Straczynski’s use of restraint. With a book full of powerful deities, it’d be very easy for an author to fly off the handle and give us a bunch [...]

Cemetery Blues #3 – Review
Posted on April 23, 2008 by mulderwastaken
By Ryan Rubio & Thomas Boatwright (story), Ryan Rubio (script) & Thomas Boatwright (art) The series comes to an end with this third and final issue. Sadly, and strangely enough, the story has tumbled down hill since the premiere issue. Gone are the elements that I loved from that initial first offering. It’s like I’m [...]

Mighty Avengers #12 (Secret Invasion) – Review
Posted on April 22, 2008 by Deamentia
By Brian Michael Bendis (writer), Alex Maleev (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors) It looks like this title has finally caught up with current Marvel continuity. With all the zany time traveling stories behind us, we’re put smack dab in the middle of a Secret Invasion-centric story line, and a very important one at that. This might [...]
