Ms. Marvel #49 – Review

By: Brian Reed (writer), Sana Takeda (artist) The Story: Ms. Marvel is on the trail of Mystique and she’s pounding the crap out of a flunky to catch her prey. In the meantime, Captain Marvel is going through some really messed up moments and does more than a little violence to his own church and [...]

Ms. Marvel #46 – Review

by Brian Reed (Writer) and Sana Takeda (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Ms. Marvel #46 marks the end of the War of the Marvels arc. While it’s been decent, I have my doubts about whether Brian Reed can pull his strange story together well enough to make it all worth it. The Story: Catherine [...]

Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man #4 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Chris Bachalo w/ Rob Disalvo (Pencils), Townsend, Disalvo, Sibal, Irwin, Wang, & Mendoza (Inks), and Bachalo w/Fabela & Mossa (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The storyline is a bit basic and the way the artwork is divided up tends to be annoying, but those issues haven’t stopped me from enjoying [...]

Ms. Marvel #45 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Philippe Briones (Artist), and Ikari Studios (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The War of the Marvels has been entertaining enough so far, but a part of me wishes that Brian Reed had let Karla Sofen truly take over the series for a couple more issues. The Story: Karla Sofen and [...]

Ms. Marvel #44 (War of the Marvels) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer) and Sana Takeda (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While the artist changes are quite annoying, The War of the Marvels has been pretty interesting so far. I just hope that Brian Reed pulls it all together because, let’s face it, the series has been a bit odd since Karla Sofen [...]

Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man #3 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Chris Bachalo (Pencils & Colors), Rob Disalvo (Pencils & Inks), Tim Townsend w/ Mendoza & Sibal (Inks), and Andres Mossa w/ Fabela (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Note to Marvel: I demand a Brian Reed/Chris Bachalo Sinister Spider-Man ongoing series. It’d compliment the twisted Daniel Way/Paco Medina Deadpool series quite [...]

Ms. Marvel #43 (War of the Marvels) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Sergio Arino (Art), and Ikari Studios (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The War of the Marvels has gotten off to a pretty good start. As long as things don’t get too convoluted (as has happened with a Ms. Marvel story or two in the past), the War could go down [...]

Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-Man #2 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Chris Bachalo w/ Rob Disalvo (Pencils), Tim Townsend, Mendoza, Sibal, and Disalvo (Inks), and Bachalo w/ Mossa and Fabela (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I liked the first issue of Sinister Spider-Man a whole hell of a lot. Mean, hilarious, and absolutely awesome to look at, Sinister Spider-Man #1 might [...]

Ms. Marvel #42 (War of the Marvels) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer) and Sana Takeda (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: For as much as I’ve enjoyed the last few issues of Ms. Marvel, I’m more than ready for the War of the Marvels to be over. The Story: Ms. Marvel battles Ms. Marvel throughout Los Angeles. There’s lots of violence and trash [...]

Ms. Marvel #41 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Sergio Ariño (Artist), and Emily Warren w/Christina Strain (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Yeah, it’s weird… But I’m digging the current Ms. Marvel arc quite a bit. A deceitful, morally shady “hero” that’s standing in for the real hero? Storyteller jar babies? Colorful cosmic looking entities that may or may [...]

DARK REIGN: THE SINISTER SPIDER-MAN # 1 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Chris Bachalo (Pencils & Colors), Tim Townsend (Inks), and Antonio Fabela (Color Guides) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m a huge fan of Chris Bachalo’s artwork and I’ve enjoyed nearly everything that I’ve read from Brian Reed. So, needless to say, Sinister Spider-Man #1 was an easy purchase. I expect good [...]

Ms. Marvel #40 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Sana Takeda (Artist), Luke Ross (Pencils on pgs. 1-3 & 17-22), and Rob Schwager (Colors on pgs. 1-3 & 17-22) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been enjoying the new direction of Ms. Marvel a whole lot. It’s a nice blend of new and old that works far better than anyone [...]

Ms. Marvel #39 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer) and Sana Takeda (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I became a fan of Karla Sofen (Moonstone) back when she was part of the Thunderbolts, so it’s nice to see her finally playing a larger role in the Marvel universe. The Story: Ms. Marvel stops a meteor from crashing to earth [...]

Ms. Marvel #38 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Rebekah Isaacs (Art), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: With Carol Danvers seemingly dead due to a power overload, Karla Sofen (A.K.A. Moonstone) becomes the new Ms. Marvel. It’ll be interesting to see what the change in the status quo will do to the series as a whole. [...]

Ms. Marvel #37 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Patrick Oliffe (Pencils), Serge LaPointe and Livesay (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been a fan of the Ms. Marvel series for a while now, but the “Ascension” arc has left me pretty disappointed. It started off rather strong, but it quickly became unnecessarily convoluted as [...]

Ms. Marvel #34 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Paulo Siqueira & Adriana Melo (Pencils), Amilton Santos & Mariah Benes (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: In all honesty, the current Ms. Marvel arc is quickly becoming tough to review on a monthly basis. While I’m enjoying it quite a bit, the storytelling structure being used [...]

Secret Invasion: Front Line #5 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), GG Studios (Art), Marco Castiello (Pencils), Barbara Ciardo (Colors), and Amerigo Pinellio (Asst. Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: After an extremely promising start, the latest installment in the Front Line series has sort of stumbled to the finish line (sounds like the main Invasion series more than a little bit [...]

Ms. Marvel #33 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Adriana Melo (Pencils), Mariah Benes (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Let me just get it out of the way and say how pleased I was to find the art team of Adriana Melo, Mariah Benes, and Chris Sotomayor working on Ms. Marvel again. The three of [...]

Ms. Marvel Special: Storyteller #1 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Guiseppe Camunculi (Pencils), Lorenzo Ruggiero (Inks), and Andres Mossa (Color) The Story: This Ms. Marvel one-shot centers around the return of Gavin, a boy given the ability to alter reality using his imagination as the result of A.I.M. experimentation. He is currently holding a friend named Rich within his storybook reality [...]

Ms. Marvel #32 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Paulo Siqueira (Pencils), Amilton Santos (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colorist) What’s Going On: In keeping with Ms. Marvel’s recent rule of bouncing randomly from plotline to plotline, we’ve gone from Carol’s dad dying and a vow to kill Norman Osborn last issue to a flashback to her Air Force days, getting [...]

Ms. Marvel #30 (Secret Invasion) – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Adriana Melo (Pencils), Chris Sotomayor (Colors), Mariah Benes (Inks), and Paulo Siqueira (Artist for pages 23 & 24) The conclusion of the “Battle of Manhattan” Secret Invasion tie-in is a quick, but ultimately satisfying read that shows why Ms. Marvel is clearly one of the best female characters in the Marvel [...]

Secret Invasion: Amazing Spider-Man #1 – Review

By Brian Reed (writer), Marco Santucci (pencils), Mark Pennington (inks) The best word to describe this series? Obligatory. I’m a fan of Brian Reed (love his Ms. Marvel work) and I actually have been enjoying Brand New Day. But this book serves as nothing more than to tell fans, “Hey, Brand New Day is part [...]

Ms. Marvel Annual #1 – Review

By Brian Reed (Writer), Mark A. Robinson (Artist), Mark Irwin (Inker), and Antonio Fabela (Colorist) Anyone out there read the Marvel Adventures books? My son gets them and I read them when he’s not looking (which is pretty easy since he just leaves them all over the house). They’re actually pretty fun. Easy to read, [...]

Secret Invasion: Front Line #2 – Review

Brian Reed (Writer), GG Studios (Art), Marco Castiello (Pencils), Barbara Ciardo (Colorist), and Amerigo Pinelli (Asst. Colorist) This second chapter of the Front Line story creates an interesting dilemma for me as a reviewer. I thoroughly enjoyed every single page of the book and yet, I can easily think of a number of ways in [...]
