Witchblade #132 – Review

By Ron Marz (Writer) and Stjepan Sejic (Art) The Story: Sara and Patrick share an evening together reconnecting before getting involved with a mystery involving missing children. What’s Good: It’s been a while since Witchblade had an arc that featured Sara confronting the supernatural in a way that’s unconnected (as far as I can tell) [...]

X-Force #21 – Review

By Craig Kyle & Chris Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Thanks to the Necrosha one-shot and a compelling New Mutants chapter, the latest “X” crossover has gotten off to a solid start. Can Necrosha go from being solid to being good? Time to find out. The Story: The X-Men [...]

By Jeff Parker (Writer), Carlo Pagulayan, Gabriel Hardman, Chris Samnee, & Carlos Rodriguez (Pencils), Jason Paz, Hardman, Samnee, &Terry Pallot (Inks), and Wilfred Quintana & Veronica Gandini Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first X-Men Vs. Agents of Atlas book was solid and entertaining. That said, it wasn’t anything special and a bit too much [...]

Astonishing X-Men #32 – Review

by Warren Ellis (Writer), Phil Jimenez (Pencils), Andy Lanning (Inks), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Art hang-ups and the lack of plot development aside, the Warren Ellis/Phil Jimenez run on Astonishing X-Men got off to a pretty nice start. As a fan of the Brood, I can’t help but look forward [...]

Dark Reign: The List – Punisher #1- Review

By Rick Remender (Writer), John Romita Jr. (Pencils), Klaus Janson (Inks), and Dean White (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m a casual Punisher fan. While I haven’t been following the ongoing series (which I hear is really good), I will definitely be jumping on board when the Franken-Castle arc starts. So, in preparation, I [...]

Secret Warriors #9 – Review

By Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Alessandro Vitti (Artist), and Sunny Gho of IFS (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While it’s slightly sidetracked the main Secret Warriors plot, I’ve been enjoying “God of Fear, God of War” quite a bit. The dynamic between Ares and Phobos has been so well written that both characters have climbed [...]

New Mutants/X-Force/X-Men Legacy: Necrosha One-Shot – Review

Ms. Marvel #46 – Review

by Brian Reed (Writer) and Sana Takeda (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Ms. Marvel #46 marks the end of the War of the Marvels arc. While it’s been decent, I have my doubts about whether Brian Reed can pull his strange story together well enough to make it all worth it. The Story: Catherine [...]

Dark Reign: The List – Wolverine #1 – Review

“All We Want Is The World And Everything In It” by Jason Aaron (Writer), Esad Ribic (Pencils), Tom Palmer (Inks), and Matthew Wilson (Colors) “A Good Man” by Jason Aaron (Writer) and Udon Studios (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Jason Aaron is easily the best Wolverine writer at the moment, so any comic that [...]

Chew #5 – Review

by John Layman (Writer) and Rob Guillory (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Chew is definitely something special. There just isn’t anything even remotely like it on the stands right now. Uniqueness can only get something so far though. Thankfully, Chew’s got enough personality and cool ideas to earn an easy recommendation from me. That [...]

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #4 – Review

by Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth is a worthwhile addition to any Deadpool fan’s pull-list. While it isn’t better than the main Deadpool ongoing, Merc with a Mouth delivers fun, (mostly) continuity-free Deadpool entertainment. And that counts [...]

Thunderbolts #137 – Review

by Rick Remender (Writer), Mahmud A. Asrar (Pencils), Rebecca Buchman (Inks), and Bruno Hang (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: With Jeff Parker due to take over the Thunderbolts series soon, I’m not entirely surprised to see a one-and-done story filling the space in between creative teams. It’s not such a bad thing as long [...]

Deadpool #900 – Review

Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool stories by some of my favorite writers?! Needless to say, I have some pretty high expectations for Deadpool #900. “Close Encounters of the F*cked-up Kind” By Jason Aaron (Writer), Chris Staggs (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) The Story: Aliens abduct Deadpool. You probably know what happens [...]

The Walking Dead #66 – Review

By Robert Kirkman (Writer), Charlie Adlard (Pencils & Inks), and Cliff Rathburn (Gray Tones) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It’s hard to believe that the “Fear the Hunters” arc ends with The Walking Dead #66. While it’s been really entertaining, I had initially expected it to run for longer than five issues considering how hard [...]

Witchblade #131 – Review

By Ron Marz (Writer), and Stjepan Sejic (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: With the War of the Witchblades all wrapped up, I look forward to seeing where Ron Marz takes the series next. Will he dive right into another event or let the series go back to being about supernatural crime solving for a [...]

X-Men Vs. Agents of Atlas #1 – Review

By Jeff Parker (Writer – Both Stories) “The X-Heist” Art Team – Carlo Pagulayan (Pencils), Jason Paz (Inks) and Wil Quintana (Colors) “Atomic Age Heroes” Art Team – Chris Samnee (Art) and Veronica Gandini (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The X-Men/Agents of Atlas crossover seems a bit unnecessary. That said, I can’t help but [...]

Dark Reign: The List – Secret Warriors

By Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Ed McGuiness (Pencils), Tom Palmer (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors). Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m utterly confused by Marvel’s decision to release Dark Reign: The List – Secret Warriors before the Secret Warriors issue it’s supposed to take place after. I guess I can understand why Marvel would want to [...]

Deadpool #16 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Given how the recent “X” crossovers have turned out, I’m a bit concerned about what’s going to happen to Deadpool now that Wade is headed towards becoming one of the X-Men. Now, granted, I do realize that [...]

Astonishing X-Men #31 – Review

By Warren Ellis (Writer), Phil Jimenez (Pencils), Andy Lanning (Inks), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Warren Ellis’ first Astonishing arc was held back a bit by Simone Bianchi’s inconsistent, occasionally ugly artwork. With Phil Jimenez now on board, I’m hoping that the artwork consistently does justice to Ellis’ storytelling. If Jimenez’s [...]
