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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 #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 [...]

New Avengers #48 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Billy Tan (Pencils), Matt Banning (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It’s about time! While I enjoyed the Secret Invasion stuff for the most part, I am definitely glad that New Avengers is back on track. I look forward to see what the series will be [...]

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 #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 [...]

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, [...]

Ms. Marvel #29 (Secret Invasion) – Capsule Review

Brian Reed, (Writer) Adriana Melo, (Pencils) Mariah Benes, (Inks) Paulo Siquera, (Art Pgs. 11-16) and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) You know what? I am really digging this new, more badass direction that the Ms. Marvel series has taken. Secret Invasion has given this book a much needed shot in the arm and now it ranks as [...]

Ms. Marvel #28 (Secret Invasion) – Capsule Review

Brian Reed, (Writer) Adriana Melo, (Pencils) Mariah Benes, (Inks) and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) I have to admit that I enjoyed Ms. Marvel #28 quite a bit more than I expected to – even though it was nothing other than one extended fight scene. After the disappointing turn of the events last issue, I was fully [...]

Ms. Marvel #27 (Secret Invasion) – Review

By Brian Reed (writer), Andre Coelho (art), Chris Sotomayor (colors) Up until the end of this issue, a lot of this Secret Invasion story happening in Ms. Marvel made little to no sense. Yes, the story is comprehensible and very straight forward, but compared to the other Secret Invasion tie-ins going on in other titles, [...]
