The Stand: American Nightmares #5 – Review

Posted on August 23, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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

Posted on August 14, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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.

The Stand: American Nightmares #4 – Review

Posted on July 13, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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

Posted on May 31, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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: Captain Trips #1 – Review

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Deamentia

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

Posted on August 3, 2008 by lotrking

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 [...]

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. [...]

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.

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.
