Quick-Hit Reviews – Week of May 25, 2011

A whole LOT of very solid comics last week.  We can’t review everything in-depth, so the least we can do is give you a quick-hit letting you know what we thought of an issue and whether it is worth picking up. Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #6 – Talk about not being what I expected!  I [...]

Quick Hit Reviews – Week of March 23, 2011

Amazing what a sneaky heavy week of comics last week was, eh?  But, we here at WCBR endeavor to bring you the broadest coverage possible, even when we can’t get a full review up for every comic on the stands…. Daredevil Reborn #3 – Ugh.  This is really not good!  I hate to be flip at [...]

WCBR Quick Hit Reviews – Week of Dec 29, 2010

We at WCBR all get more comics that we could possibly review in full every week.  Rather than let them go unmentioned, we run though the remainder of our pile here. Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #4 – This time hopping series continues and puts Logan and Spidey in yet another awesome situation: Logan is thrust [...]

Wolverine #73 – Review

By Jason Aaron and Daniel Way (writing), Adam Kubert (pencils), Mark Farmer (inks), Justin Ponsor (colors), Tommy Lee Edwards (art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I totally understand Marvel’s intention with this issue of Wolverine. Coming off the movie launch, Marvel expects there to be new readers looking for a Wolverine title. Since it’s obvious [...]

DC Universe: Last Will and Testament #1 – Review

By Brad Meltzer (writer), Adam Kubert and Joe Kubert (pencils), John Dell (inks), Alex Sinclair (colors) I knew DC Comics would “get back at us” after giving us DC Universe #0 for 50 cents. At $3.99 you get 32 pages of story, but dammit, it’s just outrageous and these companies keep hitting this price point [...]

Tor #2 (of 5) – Review

By Joe Kubert (art, colors & story), Pete Carlsson (colors) The beauty of Tor is that it’s a simple story of survival that’s presented by one of the Godfathers of comics and boy does he know how to tell a story. This second issue is just another brilliant exhibition of how storytelling should be done [...]

Action Comics Annual #11 (2008) – Review

By Geoff Johns & Richard Donner (Writers), Adam Kubert (Artist) & Edgar Delgado (Colors) Reading this comic, it’s impossible to forget the 1978 original Superman film. I don’t need to say this is a good thing, do I? Well, it is. And of course, there is a slightly different story and some more characters in [...]

Tor #1 (of 5) – Review

By Joe Kubert (art, colors & story), Pete Carlsson (colors) In many ways I can’t help but feel that Tor is an advertisement for Joe Kubert’s School of Art. I’m sure that’s clearly not the intent, but it’s hard for me to feel otherwise. Those ads that have graced comic book pages over the years [...]
