The Sword #23 – Review

by Joshua Luna (writer, layouts, letters) and Jonathan Luna (art) The Story: The battle between Malia and Dara comes to its bitter conclusion. What’s Good: I usually don’t discuss an issue’s ending at the beginning of a review, but this month’s cliffhanger stands as one of the biggest twists in this series.   I haven’t been [...]

Wonder Woman #42 – Review

By: Gail Simone (writer), Nicola Scott and Fernando Dagnino (pencillers), Doug Hazelwood (inker) The Story: The story opens with a flashback to a scene where three Green Lanterns were pursuing a planetary infestation so lethal that one of them didn’t make it back alive.

Unknown Soldier #18 – Review

by Joshua Dysart (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (art), Oscar Celestini (colors), and Clem Robins (letters) The Story: As his mind continues to unravel, Moses prepares to make the trade: medicine for rifles.

Madame Xanadu #21 – Review

by Matt Wagner (writer), Amy Reeder Hadley (pencils), Richard Friend (inks), Guy Major (colors), and Jared K. Fletcher (letters) The Story: Madame Xanadu and Detective John Jones scrap with some mobsters over an ancient artifact. What’s Good: This is Amy Reeder Hadley’s book as much as it is Wagner’s, perhaps moreso.  I’m reminded of this [...]

Fantastic Four #577 – Review

by Jonathan Hickman (writer), Dale Eaglesham (art), Paul Mounts (colors), and Rus Wooton (letters) The Story: The origin of the human race is discussed, as well as the future path of the Inhumans. What’s Good: Dales Eaglesham’s art has been tremendous on Fantastic Four thus far, so when I say that this is quite possibly [...]

Justice League of America #43 – Review

By: James Robinson (writer), Mark Bagley (artists), Rob Hunter and Norm Rapmund (inker) The Story: Green Arrow is defending the JLA satellite at the same time that the rest of the JLA (plus hangers-on) are duking it out with a bunch of villains. The JLA aren’t doing well because they’re not working like a team. [...]
