X-Men: Schism #2 – Review

by Jason Aaron (writer), Frank Cho (art), Jason Keith (colors), and Jared K. Fletcher (letters) The Story: The X-Men race to deal with the global rash of out-of-control sentinels, Cyclops and Wolverine butt heads over Quire, and Kade Kilgore makes plans. What’s Good: Like many kids who grew up in the late 80s to early [...]

Zatanna #12 – Review

By: Matthew Sturges (writer), Stephane Roux (artist), John Kalisz (colorist) The Story: We all know Zatanna’s a wordplay geek, but this takes it to a whole new level. The Review: Zatanna’s backwards talk is an essential part of her character, and one of the most appealing, and yet it’s also probably the least understood.  Grant [...]

Zatanna #2 – Review

by Paul Dini (writer), Stephane Roux (pencils & inks), Karl Story (inks), John Kalisz (colors), and Pat Brosseau (letters) The Story: Zatanna battles Fuseli in the realms of nightmare and Brother Night makes Detective Colton an offer he can’t refuse. What’s Good: Stephane Roux’s artwork in this issue is awesome.  He takes his game up [...]

Deadpool #15 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia & Antonio Fabela (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While Shawn Crystal’s work definitely has its merits, I’d be lying if I acted as though I wasn’t pumped for the return of Paco Medina and his art team. The Story: After pondering [...]

Uncanny X-Men #513 (Utopia Chapter 2) – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Uncanny X-Men and Dark Avengers crossover, Utopia, got off to an unremarkable start. It laid the foundation for some interesting things though, so I look forward to seeing where Matt Fraction takes the story now [...]

Uncanny X-Men #511 – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land w/Terry Dodson (Pencils), Jay Leisten w/Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I am so glad that Uncanny X-Men #511 finally ends the “Sisterhood” arc… The Story: The Red Queen makes her final move toward taking over the body of Jean Grey as the [...]

Uncanny X-Men #510 – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Artist), Jay Leisten (Inker), and Justin Ponsor (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Uncanny #509 was a step in the right direction for the series.  Time to find out if Fraction and his art team can capitalize on it. The Story: Uncanny X-Men #510 is one big fight scene [...]

Uncanny X-Men #509 – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Uncanny X-Men frustrates me. Read my review of Uncanny #508 for an explanation of why that is. The series is very close to being good (or even great), but a number of kinks must be worked [...]

Uncanny X-Men #508 – Review

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Greg Land (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: It seems like nearly every month I wonder why I continue to purchase Uncanny X-Men. It’s as if I face the same irritations every time I read an issue. The story threads are too chopped up, [...]

Secret Invasion: X-Men #1 – Review

Mike Carey (Writer), Cary Nord (Artist), and Dave McCaig (Color Artist) This book is a prime example of how Secret Invasion can occasionally feel like an event that’s sorely lacking in forward momentum. While I appreciate the chance to see all the different battles taking place throughout the world, there is no need to repeatedly [...]

Wolverine #67 (Old Man Logan) – Review

By Mark Millar (writer), Steve McNiven (pencils), Dexter Vines (inks), Morry Hollowell and Christina Strain (colors) The first things that’ll come to your mind after reading this issue is: That cover was really misleading. Who did Peter Parker “pork” to get a daughter like that? And, wow… nice outfit. I’m not going to ruin anything [...]

Uncanny X-Men #499 – Capsule Review

Ed Brubaker, (Writer) Mike Choi, Ben Oliver, (Artists) Sonia Oback, and Jason Keith (Colorists) While this arc has felt like every bit of the filler that it is, I’ll be the first to admit that it has been enjoyable. This issue brings some closure to the San Francisco mystery (expect some aspects of it to [...]

Astonishing X-Men #25 – Review

Warren Ellis, (Writer) Simone Bianchi, (Artist) and Simone Peruzzi (Colorist) Not to take anything away from the excellent run by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday, but this issue of Astonishing X-Men begins what might be my most anticipated creative run of the year. Warren Ellis became one of my favorite writers with his incredible work [...]

Uncanny X-Men #497 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Michael Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colors) Since the X-Men have been divided, this title has been on a slump. The whole time warping plot in San Francisco (where everyone’s reverted to hippies) has dragged its feet for two months now, and the boys in Russia have done nothing but get into [...]

Uncanny X-Men #496 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Mike Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colors) What is it with good writers failing on mutant books? Once again, Ed Brubaker delivers a below average story that’s nothing short of being a complete yawn fest. Picking up where last issue left off, we’re given a vague hint of what’s taking place in [...]

Uncanny X-Men #495 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Mike Choi (art), Sonia Oback (colored art) This issue kicks off the X-Men: Divided story line. Reeling from events of Messiah Complex, Cyclops and Emma Frost now live in seclusion in the Savage Land. I don’t know if Marvel is trying to expose Iron Man as much as possible before the [...]
