Some Thoughts Before The Review: While it’s been far from spectacular, I actually think I’ve enjoyed the Dark X-Men mini-series more than I’ve enjoyed the Utopia main event so far. “Hidden Depths” By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), and Brian Reber (Colors) The Story: Allowed in, Emma Frost travels through Namor’s subconscious looking for [...]

Some Thoughts Before The Review: I picked up the first Dark X-Men: The Beginning book because I liked the characters that were featured. Time to find out if The Beginning can hold out without the likes of Namor, Dark Beast, or Mimic… “The Last Temptation of Cloak and Dagger” By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk [...]

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Here’s to hoping that Paul Cornell ends Captain Britain on one hell of a high note.

Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m always a bit hesitant to pick up story collections like Dark X-Men: The Beginning because they tend to be rather hit-or-miss. That said, I couldn’t possibly pass up a Namor story by the Captain Britain team. “Namor/Norman” By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Brian [...]

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk w/Adrian Syaf (Pencils), Jay Leisten w/Craig Yeung (Inks), Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: With only two issues of Captain Britain left, I hope Cornell and his team really make them count… The under-appreciated series deserves to go out with a bang.

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Ardian Syaf w/Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Craig Yeung w/Jay Leisten (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Paul Cornell’s Captain Britain and MI:13 series is crazy; crazy in a way that’s entertaining, fun, and downright satisfying. It’s easily one of the most underappreciated books Marvel puts out. The Story: [...]

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: A story about Dracula attempting to take over Great Britain could easily come across as silly unless the tension and drama manages to set the tone both early and often.

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Michael Bair w/Jay Leisten & Craig Yeung (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I initially gave Captain Britain and MI:13 a look because of the way it launched as a tie-in to the Secret Invasion.

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Penciler), Michael Bair (Inker), and Brian Reber (Colorist) Captain Britain and MI:13 continues to roll out, and I keep buying it. Though I’m not entirely sure why. Now that it’s no longer part of the Secret Invasion, it feels cut adrift from the rest of the Marvel Universe, and [...]

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Penciller), Jesse Delperdang (Inker), and Brian Reber (Colorist) Swords are for killing people. They can be ornamental, they can be used ceremonially, occasionally they carve mutton, and once in a great while they are used to cleave the Gordian knot, thus uniting all of Asia. But for the most part their [...]

By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Penciller), and Jesse Delperdano & Scott Hanna (Inkers) I had high hopes for this series based on the first issue. I liked the premise (Skrulls invade Britain because that’s where the highest concentration of magic is on Earth), and I liked the characters. Unfortunately, in the issues since, the [...]

Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? is an anthology, gathering together vignettes that concern the Secret Invasion, but didn’t fit in any of the regular books. As anthologies have always been since the first publisher crawled from the Precambrian sea, it’s an uneven mix—with A-listers, B-listers, and some folks I didn’t think were on any [...]

Paul Cornell (writer), Leonard Kirk (penciler), Jesse Delperdang (inker), and Brian Reber (colorist) I’ve never liked Captain Britain. Captain America, I get. Everything that’s important about America revolves around a handful of ideals that can be, more or less, successfully embodied in one man. But Britain is such an older and more complex country. Which [...]
