Dark Reign: The Cabal – Review

Posted on April 30, 2009 by pozzyfreak

Some Thoughts Before The Review: Since Dark Reign: The Cabal is a collection of short stories, I’ll write a small review for each before basing my final grade on the overall quality of the $3.99 one-shot. “Doctor Doom: …And I’ll Get The Land” Jonathan Hickman (Script) and Adi Granov (Art) More character study than anything [...]

Posted on April 27, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Mark Millar (Writer), John Romita Jr. (Art), Tom Palmer (Inks), and Dean White (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve enjoyed the hell out of Kick-Ass so far. The concept is rock solid, the characters are engaging, and the situations that drive the story forward successfully straddle the line between gloriously over-the-top and uncomfortably [...]

Posted on April 25, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Warren Ellis (Writer), Simone Bianchi (Pencils & Inks), Andrea Silvestri (Inks), and Simone Peruzzi, Christina Strain, & Laura Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Astonishing X-Men should be better than it has been, especially considering both the talent involved and how long the wait is between issues.

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Ryan Lynch

J. Michael Straczynski (writer), Marko Djurdjevic (artist), Paul Mounts (colorist) Before the Review: I’ve never read Thor before.

X-Force #14 (Messiah War Chapter 3) – Review

Posted on April 23, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Messiah War crossover event really hasn’t even started yet.

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Luke Ross (pencils), Rick Magyar (inks), Frank D’Armata (colors) Just so I don’t seem like a complete hypocrite for reviewing this comic after my previous post on Captain America where I swore off reading this series; this issue is NOT about Bucky, which is why I bought it.  So there. Instead of [...]

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It seems like nearly every month I wonder why I continue to purchase Uncanny X-Men.
