Quick Hit Reviews – Week of March 30, 2011

What a strong week for comics!  Almost everything last week was at least “pretty good” and that makes us happy at WCBR.  Even though we’ll do out duty and tell you when a comic SUCKS, we don’t take any pleasure in doing so and it’s a LOT more fun to talk about what was good. [...]

by Brian Michael Bendis (writer) and Daniel Acuna (artist) The Story: Luke Cage and Jessica Jones go out on a date.  Yeah, that’s not going to go uninterrupted.

Dark Reign: The Cabal – Review

Some Thoughts Before The Review: Since Dark Reign: The Cabal is a collection of short stories, I’ll write a small review for each before basing my final grade on the overall quality of the $3.99 one-shot. “Doctor Doom: …And I’ll Get The Land” Jonathan Hickman (Script) and Adi Granov (Art) More character study than anything [...]

Eternals #4 – Review

By Charles & Daniel Knauf (Writers) and Daniel Acuña (Artist) I suppose I’m not the only person who’s noticed that Ajak is fighting Skrulls with the “God Squad” in Hercules at the same time he’s acting mysteriously in this book.

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 [...]
