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 [...]

Marvel Divas #2 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Tonci Zonjic (Art), June Chung (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first issue of Marvel Divas did what it set out to do really well. Because of that, I decided to check out the second issue to find out if the series had appeal for someone outside of the target [...]

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 [...]

Marvel Divas #1 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Tonci Zonjic (Art), and Jelena Kevic Djurdjevic & June Chung (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It will be interesting to see how Marvel’s Divas stack up against Gotham’s Sirens… The Story: Patsy Walker (Hellcat), Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel/leader of Nextwave), Felicia Hardy (Black Cat), and Angelica Jones (Firestar) are superhero [...]

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 [...]

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: Fantastic Four #3 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Barry Kitson (Penciler and Inker), Mick Gray and Cam Smith (Inkers), and Christ Sotomayor (Colorist) My only huge complaint is the cover. I mean look at it: Franklin and Valeria must be the two ugliest kids in comics according to this rendition. If I didn’t enjoy the first two issues, this [...]

Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #2 – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Barry Kitson (Pencils), and Mick Gray, Scott Hanna & Barry Kitson (Inks) Okay, you damn, dirty Skrulls! Give me back the real Johnny Storm! I know what you’re saying: “Oh, no. We have Reed and Sue, but Johnny’s the real deal. You can tell by the way he’s acting.” But that’s my point exactly. [...]

Angel: Revelations #1 – Review

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Adam Pollina (Art), and Matt Hollingsworth (Color Art) On sale 5/29/08 Before I get into the review, let me say that this series grabbed my interest when the solicitation revealed the unique, religiously inspired cover. Angel has always been an interesting character to me and the prospect of a series highlighting his [...]

Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four #1 (of 3) – Review

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (writer), Barry Kitson (pencils), Mick Gray, Scott Hanna, Barry Kitson, Paul Neary (inks), Chris Sotomayor (colors) On sale: 5/14/08 Well, now I see why Secret Invasion #2 failed to give us more on the attack at the Baxter Building. This story handles it all – from the abduction of Sue Richards to [...]
