WCBR Quick Reviews

Posted on December 9, 2008 by Deamentia

Amazing Spider-Man #579 – Review (Marvel Comics) Not much of a memorable story here, but it is a good one, nonetheless. Mark Waid does a great job in capturing some excellent character moments, pounding home the idea of Spidey’s selflessness and undying spirit. Marcos Martin’s artwork is no where near as complicated or brilliant as [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #561 – Review

Posted on June 4, 2008 by lotrking

By Dan Slott (Writer), Marcos Martin (Art), and Javier Rodriguez (Colors) Being a huge fan of the marriage and therefore a significantly “less than huge” fan of the reboot, I have to say that this is potentially the best issue of Brand New Day yet.

Amazing Spider-Man #559 – Review

Posted on May 16, 2008 by Deamentia

By Dan Slott (writer), Marcos Martin (artist), and Javier Rodriguez (colors) I’ll not mince words, I’m a big Mary Jane fan. She is the person most meant for Peter Parker. I know I’ll hear it from the Gwen fans out there, but that’s okay. No one’s been there more for Peter than MJ, and do [...]
