Invincible Iron Man #16 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Anyone tired of the “World’s Most Wanted” arc yet? I know I’m not.  It’s refreshing to see a Marvel comic that’s breaking the common “six-issue” rule. The Story: Madame Masque talks to her “lover” Tony Stark as a captive [...]

The Invincible Iron Man #15 (World’s Most Wanted Chapter 8) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Art), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The seventh chapter of “World’s Most Wanted” showed that Fraction’s lengthy arc has yet to run out of any steam. That’s quite an accomplishment for Matt Fraction considering that some stories start feeling stretched thin after only two or [...]

The Invincible Iron Man #14 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Art), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Invincible Iron Man is written by the Matt Fraction that made me a fan of Matt Fraction.

Invincible Iron Man #12 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Artist), and Frank D’Armata (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been loving Matt Fraction’s take on Tony Stark. What I haven’t been loving is the artwork it’s unfortunately saddled with. Thankfully, Fraction’s writing is strong enough to easily handle the burden. As a result, I can’t wait to [...]

The Invincible Iron Man #8 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Salvador Larocca (Art), and Frank D’Armata (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: In all honesty, I am a bit disappointed that The Invincible Iron Man is now one of the feature titles of the Dark Reign period. I think I would rather read a truly original Matt Fraction helmed Tony Stark [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #549 – Review

By Marc Guggenheim (writer), Salvador Larroca (art), Jason Keith (colors) The opening of Amazing Spider-Man #549 falters a bit. There’s a sequence involving Spidey saving some construction workers that is just told badly. First, they’re free falling, the next thing you know they’re all on the ground and Spidey’s tossing up a net to catch [...]
