by Jonathan Hickman (writer), Barry Kitson (art), Paul Mounts (colors), and Clayton Cowles (letters) The Review: This issue of Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four reminds me of those really badass episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that I totally geeked out over as a kid…and then rediscovered years later in college, only to geek out [...]

S.H.I.E.L.D. #2 – Review

Posted on August 6, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jonathan Hickman (writer), Dustin Weaver (artist), Sonia Oback (colorist) The Story: Genius white men…and other sorry excuses for the state of the world! The Review: In ordinary circumstances, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be the kind of title I’d fallen hopelessly in love with by now; it has fresh ideas, remarkable craft, rounded characters, and some gorgeous [...]

S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 – Review

Posted on April 8, 2010 by tonyrak

By Jonathan Hickman (writer), Dustin Weaver (artist), Christina Strain (colorist) Sturgeon’s Law states that ninety-percent of everything is crap. Books, movies, politicians, your mom’s cooking, and my love-making abilities. Ninety percent of all of it: crap. We’ll save my prowess in bed and your mom’s quiche for another day.

Eternals Annual #1 – Review

Posted on November 18, 2008 by tonyrak

By Fred Van Lente (story), Pascal Alixe (art), Brad Anderson (colors) I remember when Annual issues were massive beasts, 64 pages in length or more. Sometimes they were apocryphal, sometimes they were crossovers to bigger summer stories, but I always remembered them being, as Alan Moore phrased it “slabs of culture.” I could walk into [...]

Eternals #1 – Review

Posted on June 8, 2008 by andrewcmurphy

Charles & Daniel Knauf (Writers) and Daniel Acuña (Artist) How do you follow up a writer like Neil Gaiman? The answer is, of course, you can’t. And you shouldn’t try. That’s why when Gaiman stopped writing Sandman, DC stopped publishing it. Unfortunately, with The Eternals Marvel didn’t have that option. When Gaiman stopped writing, the [...]
