Stormwatch #6 – Review

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Alex Sinclair & Pete Pantazis (colorists) The Story: Just ‘cause you’re dying in space doesn’t mean you can’t get a little flirting on! The Review: Ahh…nothing like a bunch of creative shake-ups to get the emotions flowing, huh?  By now, DC’s first wave of cancellations, replacements, and switcheroos [...]

Stormwatch #5 – Review

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Allen Passalaqua (colorist) The Story: You won’t believe what a liar he can be. The Review: Sooner or later, Cornell had to address one of Stormwatch’s pet conceits: the premise that it’s been around since time immemorial, protecting Earth from all manner of threats from beyond the planet [...]

Stormwatch #4 – Review

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: This alien apparently never learned not to scarf its food. The Review: In my mind, the big appeal of Stormwatch is their incredible scope.  Between their ages-old mandate and their huge variety of abilities, nothing seems off limits to them, not even the [...]

Stormwatch #2 – Review

Posted on October 10, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda & Al Barrionuevo (artists), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: I’m guessing none of these people played “Follow the Leader” very well as kids. The Review: Paul Cornell has certainly set aside for himself a quirky territory in the world of comics.  Almost everything he writes has a sincerely strange [...]

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Allen Passalaqua (colorist) The Story: Call me superstitious, but that moon gives me the creeps. The Review: In one of my reviews for S.H.I.E.L.D., I spoke about the appeal of secret societies, the shadowy group of specially selected individuals who watch over us from afar and chuckle at [...]

Posted on January 11, 2011 by dfstell

Here at WCBR we all have pretty extensive pull lists.  Every week, despite our best efforts, there are a few comics that get read, but don’t get the full review treatment.  Without further ado… Avengers: The Childrens Crusade #4 - I’m enjoying this series as much as anything with an Avenger’s tag on it.  The big [...]

By Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (writers), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Jay David Ramos and Wil Quintana (color artists) I have cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, to be exact. It’ll probably kill me at some point, assuming I don’t drink myself into oblivion before then, but I felt compelled to share with you because that is the frame [...]

By: Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (writers), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Jay David Ramos (color artist) Canadian comic book reviewers maintain bold opinions, despite Memorial Day in the US! News at 11.

By Jeff Parker (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Frank Martin(colorist) The Story: The Thunderbolts, having more than a few lunatics on the team, have a problem.

Thunderbolts #135 – Review

Posted on September 12, 2009 by paladinking

by Andy Diggle (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (art), Frank Martin (colors), and Albert Deschesne (letters) The Story: Black Widow and Songbird make a run for it. What’s Good: Diggle writes an interesting script for this issue, one that’s self-referential in many ways.  Whenever a character says a line that sounds ridiculous, cliche, or out of character, [...]
