Dark Reign: The List – X-Men – Review

Posted on September 25, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Alan Davis (Pencils), Mark Farmer (Inks), and Nathan Fairbairn (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I actually like the concept of The List series quite a bit. It works as a new reader grab and as a compliment to current ongoings. The Daredevil one-shot actually made me interested in following the [...]

Posted on May 20, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Artist), Jay Leisten (Inker), and Justin Ponsor (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Uncanny #509 was a step in the right direction for the series.  Time to find out if Fraction and his art team can capitalize on it.

Uncanny X-Men #508 – Review

Posted on April 15, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It seems like nearly every month I wonder why I continue to purchase Uncanny X-Men. It’s as if I face the same irritations every time I read an issue. The story threads are too chopped up, [...]

Posted on December 20, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While a bit scattershot, I really enjoyed the first chapter of Matt Fraction’s new Uncanny arc.

Uncanny X-Men #504 – Review

Posted on November 22, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Since hitting the big #500, Uncanny X-Men has been extremely hit or miss. As such, the bigger picture being created by Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker has felt extremely disjointed. On top of that, the first [...]

Secret Invasion: X-Men #2 – Capsule Review

Posted on September 13, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Mike Carey (Writer), Carey Nord (Art), and Dave McCaig (Colors) I had planned on doing a full review of this one since I am quite an X-Men fan, but it just simply isn’t worth the time it takes to write or read a full review. The writing is underwhelming, the artwork looks rushed, the [...]

Uncanny X-Men #499 – Capsule Review

Posted on July 2, 2008 by pozzyfreak

Ed Brubaker, (Writer) Mike Choi, Ben Oliver, (Artists) Sonia Oback, and Jason Keith (Colorists) While this arc has felt like every bit of the filler that it is, I’ll be the first to admit that it has been enjoyable. This issue brings some closure to the San Francisco mystery (expect some aspects of it to [...]

Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men #1 – Review

Posted on May 31, 2008 by Deamentia

By Joss Whedon, John Cassaday, and Laura Martin Had this book actually come out on time, my emotional response to its finale might have been stronger. But given that Kitty Pride’s fate was tossed out months before this issue hit the stands (in a pathetic attempt to keep continuity) just diminishes the whole point of [...]

The Last Defenders #1 (of 6) – Review

Posted on March 15, 2008 by Deamentia

By Joe Casey (co-plot, script), Keith Giffen (co-plot, breakdowns), Jim Muniz (pencils), Cam Smith (inks), Antonio Fabela (colors) If you’ve read previous incarnations of The Defenders, I’d love to hear your take on this new series.

Uncanny X-Men #496 – Review

Posted on March 7, 2008 by Deamentia

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Mike Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colors) What is it with good writers failing on mutant books? Once again, Ed Brubaker delivers a below average story that’s nothing short of being a complete yawn fest. Picking up where last issue left off, we’re given a vague hint of what’s taking place in [...]

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Mike Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colored art) This issue kicks off the X-Men: Divided story line. Reeling from events of Messiah Complex, Cyclops and Emma Frost now live in seclusion in the Savage Land. I don’t know if Marvel is trying to expose Iron Man as much as possible before the [...]
