X-Force: Sex + Violence (Graphic Novel Review)

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Roman Colombo

Written by Criag Kyle and Christopher Yost, Art by Gabrielle Dell’Otto I rarely start with price, and even more so, I never recommend a book that the price costs more than the individual issues (like the Siege hardcover edition)…but in this case, I have to change my stance. Sure, Sex + Violence is only a [...]

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The “Messiah War” storyline has been extremely hit or miss.

Posted on April 23, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Messiah War crossover event really hasn’t even started yet. So far, it’s been a whole lot of expositional dialogue and very little action. I’d expect that to change in chapter three, especially considering how chapter two ended. The [...]
