Written by Mike Carey, Christopher Yost, and Christos Gage Penciled by Scot Eaton, Mark Bagely, Mike Perkins, Tom Grummett, and Andrea Divito For the next four weeks, I’m going to give a closer look at the Messiah Trilogy that has consumed the X-Verse for the last three years.

The Stand: American Nightmares #5 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Mike Perkins (Art), and Laura Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Stand’s pace is really starting to get to me as a comic fan. While the writing and artwork is quite fantastic all around, it’s difficult to be completely satisfied with tiny chunks of a massive story. Maybe I’ll [...]

The Stand: American Nightmares #4 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Mike Perkins (Artist), and Laura Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I thought the last issue of American Nightmares was pretty great. While it didn’t advance the story a whole lot, it made up for its shortcomings by being incredibly intense and disturbing. The Story: Stu Redman and artist Glen [...]

The Stand: America Nightmares #3 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Script), Mike Perkins (Art), and Laura Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The slow pace of The Stand is starting to get to me as a monthly reader. I realize that the book is adapting a fairly large work and that Stephen King is an author that likes to take his [...]

The Stand: American Nightmares #2 – Review

By Stephen King (Creator), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Script), Mike Perkins (Art), and Laura Martin (Colors) The Story: The tension continues to mount as American Nightmares rolls on. A starving convict, a pyromaniac named The Trashcan Man, and Randall Flagg take up a majority of the issue. While the other surviving characters think of possible destinations that [...]

The Stand: Captain Trips #4 – Review

By Stephen King (Creative & Executive Director), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Script), Mike Perkins (Art), and Laura Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve never read the novel it’s based on, so I can’t really comment on how effective the adaptation is. That said, I am definitely enjoying every bit of The Stand: Captain Trips. From [...]

The Stand: Captain Trips #3 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (writer), Mike Perkins (art), Laura Martin (colors) The Story: As far as the arc of this series, this issue stands as the “day before” the world is decimated. The Captain Trips virus continues its deadly crawl across the United States. We watch the individual stories surrounding our main characters unfold with a [...]

Civil War: House of M #1 – Review

By Christos N. Gage (writer), Andrea Divito (pencils), Laura Villari (colors), Dave Sharpe (letters), Mike Perkins (cover) Part Magneto back-story, part House of M/Civil War tie in, this book retells an origin and gives new insight to one of Marvel’s major events. I’m usually against prequels since many of them are done for the wrong [...]

The Stand: Captain Trips #1 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (writer), Mike Perkins (art), Laura Martin (colors) I tried numerous times to read this novel as a kid, but it was just too dense for me. When the mini-series came on TV I completely forgot to watch it. So there was definitely some enthusiasm going into this book. I don’t know much [...]

Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? #1 – A Review

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 [...]

Captain America By Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol.1 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (Writer), Steve Epting, Mike Perkins, Michael Lark, John Paul Leon, Tom Palmer, Javier Pulido, Marcos Martin, Lee Weeks, Stefano Gaudiano, Rick Holberg, and Jesse Delperdang (Artists), and Frank D’Armata, Javier Rodriguez, and Matt Milla (Colors) This is an absolute necessary collection for anyone who is currently reading Captain America. I’ll admit, I [...]

Captain America #36 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Butch Guice & Mike Perkins (pencils), Frank D’Armata (colors) Wow at Ed Brubaker. I’m disbelief right now. I honestly thought we had seen the pinnacle of surprises with Brubaker’s run on Captain America, but I was wrong! With Captain America #36, he drops a huge bomb on the last page that [...]

Captain America #35 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Butch Guice (pencils & inks), Mike Perkins (inks), Frank D’Armata (colors) There’s something off about this issue. Butch Guice is filling in on penciling duties, and he does a wonderful job aping Steve Epting. But it’s not his art, it’s Frank D’Armata’s colors. From since I can remember (of this current [...]
