Shadowland #2 – Review

by Andy Diggle (writer), Billy Tan (pencils), Victor Olazaba (inks), Christina Strain (colors), and Joe Caramagna (letters) The Story: Luke Cage and Iron Fist try to talk to Daredevil and the Kingpin gets a little demonic help.

by Jason Aaron (writer), Steve Dillon (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors), and Cory Petit (letters) The Story: The Punisher comes face to face with Bullseye, who wants to see Frank in action.

What’s No So Good: Yes, I am reversing our usual review format, but why I’m doing so will soon be abundantly clear. The first half [...]

Punishermax #6 – Review

by Jason Aaron (writer), Steve Dillon (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors), and Cory Petit (letters) The Story: We’re introduced to the Marvel MAX version of Bullseye, as he begins his hunt for Frank Castle.

by Brian Michael Bendis (writer), Mike Deodato (art), Rain Beredo (colors), and Cory Petit (letters) The Story: Victoria Hand deals with dissension in the ranks and the Void makes his presence known.

by Brian Michael Bendis (writer), Mike Deodato (art), Rain Beredo (colors), and Cory Petit (letters) The Story: The Avengers go to a small town in Colorado to investigate a string of mysterious disappearances.

Dark Reign: The List – Secret Warriors

By Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Ed McGuiness (Pencils), Tom Palmer (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors). Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m utterly confused by Marvel’s decision to release Dark Reign: The List – Secret Warriors before the Secret Warriors issue it’s supposed to take place after. I guess I can understand why Marvel would want to [...]

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 [...]

Dark Avengers #9 – Review

By Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Mike Deodato (Art), and Rain Beredo (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: With Utopia out of the way, I fully expect Dark Avengers to get back to being a favorite of mine. With a kick-ass cover and the promise of a guest appearance from Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Warriors, it’s a [...]

Uncanny X-Men #514 (Utopia) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Utopia has been pretty weak so far. While it hasn’t been awful, it certainly feels like it’s getting in the way of better things. Dark Avengers was on a roll prior to Utopia, and Uncanny X-Men [...]

Dark Wolverine #76 Review

By Daniel Way & Marjorie Liu (writers), Giuseppe Camuncoli (artist), Onoford Catacchio (inker), Marte Gracia (colorist) Having now read two issues of Dark Wolverine, I can safely say that I find Daken to be an interesting character, but not for any of the reasons Marvel wants me to care about.  Specifically, I’m not terribly interested [...]

Fusion #2 – Review

By Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (Writers), Tyler Kirkham (Pencils), and Sal Regla (Inks) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Fusion #1 was a fun ’90s throwback comic. It was dated as hell, but if you just went with the crazy stuff going on, there was far more to like than hate. Plus, you really can’t [...]

Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia #1

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Marc Silvestri (Pencils), Michael Broussard, Eric Basaldua, Tyler Kirkham, & Sheldon Mitchell (Pencil Assists), Joe Weems w/ Marco Galli, Eric Basaldua, Rick Basaldua, Jason Gorder, Jay Leisten, Sal Regla, Jon Sibal, and Ryan Winn (Inks), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) The Story: A riot breaks out as the March for Humanity (led [...]

Deadpool #11 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Surprisingly dark, Deadpool #10 was just a (somewhat disappointing) teaser for the Bullseye (Hawkeye)/Deadpool showdown. I fully expect the main event to make up for arc’s lackluster start…. The Story: Bullseye and Deadpool fight. Blood is [...]

Dark Avengers #5

By Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Mike Deodato (Artist), and Rain Beredo (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Dark Avengers is easily my favorite Avengers title at the moment. That said, it’s the art and character work I look forward to, not the storyline. Maybe that will change now that the first arc seems to be [...]
