Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965 – Graphic Novel Review

Posted on May 24, 2010 by dfstell

By: Joe Kubert (written and illustrated) Review: When not reading comics, I am a pretty avid reader of military history, so when I saw Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965 on the shelf in my LCS, I had to give it a try. The basic story of this original graphic novel is that of a U.S. Army [...]

Northlanders: Sven the Returned – Review

Posted on September 21, 2009 by paladinking

by Brian Wood (writer), Davide Gianfelice (art), Dave McCaig (colors), and Travis Lanham (letters) For those that don’t know, Brian Wood’s Viking-themed Northlanders works in completely isolated story-arcs.  As a result, this trade actually functions more like an original graphic novel.  Wood has actually pushed for Northlanders trades to be without numbering for this very [...]

Ghost Rider: The Last Stand – Review

Posted on August 11, 2009 by tonyrak

By Jason Aaron (writer), Tan Eng Huat (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) If you’ve already seen the movie adaptation of this comic starring Nicholas Cage, you’ve probably made up your mind a long time ago to never take a chance on this book for as long as you may live.  I can’t blame you; I still [...]

The Graphic Novel Reader

Posted on August 11, 2009 by tonyrak

We’re going to begin something new here at Weekly Comic Book Review and start talking about graphic novels, because when we took a look at the other comic book review sites out there, we were frankly shocked at how a few of them (by which we mean to say practically none of them) ever give [...]

Dark Reign Fantastic Four #2 – Review

Posted on April 3, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Sean Chen (Pencils), Lorenzo Ruggiero (Inks), and John Rauch (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first issue of Dark Reign: Fantastic Four left me fairly underwhelmed. The story didn’t really go anywhere until the final few pages and overall, I found reading it to be rather boring. Normally I would [...]

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: If you take a minute to check out our “Best and Worst of ’08″ feature, you’ll find that “Magnum Opus” was one of my most anticipated things of 2009.

Invincible Iron Man #12 (Dark Reign) – Review

Posted on April 1, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been loving Matt Fraction’s take on Tony Stark. What I haven’t been loving is the artwork it’s unfortunately saddled with. Thankfully, Fraction’s writing is strong enough to easily handle the burden. As a result, I can’t wait to [...]

By Brian Michael Bendis (Story), Jonathan Hickman (Story & Script), Stefano Caselli (Art), and Daniele Rudoni (Color Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: To simply say that I was looking forward to the launch of Secret Warriors would not do my anticipation for the series justice.

Posted on April 1, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Messiah War got off to a solid start last week despite the fact that half of chapter one was spent on recapping the past. Now, with the pieces in place and the main players introduced into the event, I look forward to [...]

Batman: Gotham After Midnight #11 – Review

Posted on March 31, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Steve Niles (Writer), Kelly Jones (Art), and Michelle Madsen (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been enjoying the Gotham After Midnight series almost entirely because of the ridiculously unique artwork provided by Kelly Jones and Michelle Madsen. While the story isn’t necessarily bad or anything, it’s definitely overshadowed by the art. It helps [...]

Posted on March 28, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Tim Seeley (Writer), Emily Stone (Art), and Mark Englert (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve made no secret about the fact that I’m quite a fan of the Hack/Slash formula. It successfully blends a variety of genres into one extremely satisfying product. One part bloody horror story, one part buddy action comedy, one [...]

By Fren Van Lente and Greg Pak (writers), Dietrich Smith (artist), Cory Hamscher (inker) The Story: What the hell just happened?  It took TWO writers to come up with this!?  Aegis, a completely forgettable character from New Warriors, is apparently killed by a member of Hera’s dark pantheon to absolutely nobody’s regret.  Hera meets with Hercules, [...]

Mighty Avengers #23 – Review

Posted on March 28, 2009 by tonyrak

By Dan Slott (writer), Khoi Pham (artist), Allen Martinez and Danny Miki (inkers) Even as I grew to despise Bendis’s writing over the years, I was always willing to give him a chance when it came to The Avengers because they have long been a favorite team of mine since childhood.  From Avengers, New Avengers, [...]

Mercy Sparx #3 – Review

Posted on March 27, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Josh Blaylock (Writer), Matt Merhoff (Pencils), and Bill Crabtree (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first two issues of Mercy Sparx hinted that there may be quite a bit of depth to the new series beyond the slick concept of a devil-girl hunting rogue angels. However, writer Josh Blaylock has so far seemed [...]

Ms. Marvel #37 (Dark Reign) – Review

Posted on March 27, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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 [...]

The Darkness #76 – Review

Posted on March 26, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Phil Hester (Writer), Michael Broussard (Pencils), Ryan Winn (Inks), and Benny Fuentes (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I bailed on the third volume of The Darkness following the end of the first story arc. And to be honest, I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe it was the different art team or perhaps it [...]

Gears of War #5 – Review

Posted on March 26, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Joshua Ortega (Writer), Liam Sharp (Artist), and Jonny Rench (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Being a fan of the Xbox 360 series, the Gears of War comics are something of a guilty pleasure for me. The artwork in them effectively captures the gritty violence of the game’s world and action, while the tough-guy [...]

Thunderbolts #130 (Magnum Opus Pt. 2) – Review

Posted on March 26, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Andy Diggle (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Joe Pimentel (Inks), and Frank Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: So far, I’ve had a fair share of conflicting emotions regarding Andy Diggle’s Thunderbolts run. On one hand, the author carries on the mean streak and dark tone that made the Warren Ellis run such a [...]

Posted on March 26, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Mike Choi & Sonia Oback (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The X-event The Messiah Complex was one of the reasons I got back into reading comics.

Mini-Marvels: Rock, Paper, Scissors (TPB) – Review

Posted on September 6, 2008 by lotrking

By Chris Giarrusso (Story and Art) It’s easy to dismiss a book with the  “all ages” moniker as something for just for kids. And oftentimes, this may be true. But in this case “all ages” means that if you like superheroes and you like humor, you’re going to be laughing no matter how old you [...]
