By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larroca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Invincible Iron Man is easily one of the best Marvel monthlies.

By James Robinson and Greg Rucka (writers), Pete Woods (artist), Brad Anderson (colorist) Some Thoughts Before the Review: Other than John Byrne’s 1986 classic Man of Steel, I’ve never been much of a follower of Superman.

By Robert Kirkman (Writer), Cory Walker (Artist), and Val Staples (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Marvel’s MAX mini-series Destroyer uses a simple, yet effective formula.

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve pretty much given up on any hope that Messiah War is going to end up being a truly worthy follow-up to the fantastic Messiah Complex event.

By Geoff Johns (writer), Philip Tan (artist), Jonathan Clapion (inks) There is no doubt that the War of Light tales haven’t exactly been up to par with Rebirth or Sinestro Corps.
