Avengers #9 – Review

by Brian Michael Bendis (writer) & John Romita Jr. (artist) The Story: The Illuminati are caught in the act and the Hood comes back more dangerous than ever. What’s Good: Already, I’m enjoying this second arc quite a bit more than its predecessor.  The title feels less hamstrung in its storytelling thanks to the lack [...]

Invincible Iron Man #21 – Review

by Matt Fraction (writer), Salvador Larroca (art), Frank D’Armata (colors), and Joe Caramagna (letters) The Story: The surgery to restore Tony Stark takes place. What’s Good: The strange desert scenes within Tony’s mind were my high point in this month’s issue.  Last issue, I found these scenes a little too weird and obscure, but this [...]

Invincible Iron Man #16 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Anyone tired of the “World’s Most Wanted” arc yet?

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Art), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The seventh chapter of “World’s Most Wanted” showed that Fraction’s lengthy arc has yet to run out of any steam. That’s quite an accomplishment for Matt Fraction considering that some stories start feeling stretched thin after only two or [...]

Invincible Iron Man #13 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larroca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Invincible Iron Man is easily one of the best Marvel monthlies. Matt Fraction writes one hell of a Tony Stark and his handling of Stark’s inner circle (which includes Mariah Hill and Pepper Potts) has been absolutely brilliant. The [...]
