Posted on April 24, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: All storms must end sometime, and with them go the thunder. The Review: After my review of last issue, reader Don asked me what titles I could recommend to satisfy his craving for Nick Spencer material, once this series wrapped up. I had to admit [...]

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #5 – Review

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Apparently, even a simple question of “dead or alive” has no straight answers. The Review: Of course, the thing about having a huge relaunch of your entire line of titles is you’re not only thinning out all the weaker series, but the strong ones as [...]

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Wes Craig (artist), Hi-Fi (colorist), Sam Keith (feature artist), Jeromy Cox (feature colorist) The Story: NoMan teaches us that living in a clone body can’t get in the way of friendship!

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #3 – Review

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: For taphophobes, consider this immersion therapy; you’ll feel better if you don’t die. The Review: I must say, I was rather amused by the tagline inscribed on this issue’s cover: “NoMan’s dark secret revealed!” For one thing, the tease is horribly melodramatic—italics have that effect [...]

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Wes Craig & Jerry Ordway (artist), Hi-Fi & Chris Beckett (colorists) The Story: All I’m saying is if Demo grows a tiny mustache on his upper lip, I’m outta here.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1 – Review

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Wes Craig (artist), Hi-Fi (colorist) The Story: Here’s a tip—don’t talk about dead mothers and brothers on the first date. The Review: In this new DCU, there are more superhero teams than ever, one of them even having backing from the United Nations which presumably also sponsor our heroes here. Spencer [...]

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: You ever get the feeling your mother’s holding something back from you? The Review: Back in the olden days, whenever that was, heroes were the good guys and villains the bad, and hardly ever, if not never, did the twain meet. Nowadays, members from both [...]

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #6 – Review

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Cafu (penciller), Bit (inker), Santiago Arcas (colorist) The Story: The Iron Maiden…she’s a cautionary tale for all the S&M lovers out there. The Review: It’s tough to transition from one story arc to the next in a superhero comic. After the noise dies down, you’ve got this obligatory timeout for the [...]

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Cafu (penciller), Bit (inker), Santiago Arcas (colorist), Ryan Sook (guest artist) The Story: She doesn’t know that he knows that they don’t know what he knows about that other guy knows about them—no, I’m not describing a Friends episode.

By: Nick Spencer (writer), Cafu (main penciller), Bit (main inker), Santiago Arcas (main colorist), George Perez (penciller), Scott Koblish (inker), Blond (colorist) The Story: Dynamo learns firsthand being a T.H.U.N.D.E.R.
