X-Force #19 – Review

Posted on October 4, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Chris Yost (Writers) and Mike Choi & Sonia Oback (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Things were looking pretty grim for X-23– one of my favorite characters, at the end of last month’s issue of X-Force. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost wouldn’t actually kill her, would they?! The Story: X-23 is [...]

Posted on September 24, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Mark Millar (Writer), Steve McNiven (Pencils), Dexter Vines w/Mark Morales (Inks), and Morry Hollowell (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ll be honest and admit that I’m pretty torn about the conclusion of Old Man Logan before even reading a single page of it. Why? The $4.99 price tag. The Story: Logan gets revenge [...]

The Wolverine Files – Review

Posted on September 10, 2009 by tonyrak

By Mike W. Barr (writer), assorted artists To begin with, a quiz: 1)  Have you ever been caught sticking butter knives and/or other cutting utensils in between your fingers? 2)  Are you calling your friends and family members “bub” so often that you’re forgetting their real names? 3)  Do you frequently remind your co-workers that you are, [...]

FanExpo 2009 Recap

Posted on September 1, 2009 by DS Arsenault

Last weekend, I attended Fan Expo 2009 in Toronto, Canada, a convention featuring science fiction, comics, anime, horror, and games. I paid the most attention to the comics stream (obviously) and attended panels by five publishers and sat in on two sessions by Len Wein (creator of Wolverine, some of the New X-Men, Swamp Thing, [...]

Dark X-Men: The Beginning #3 – Review

Posted on August 30, 2009 by pozzyfreak

Some Thoughts Before The Review: While it’s been far from spectacular, I actually think I’ve enjoyed the Dark X-Men mini-series more than I’ve enjoyed the Utopia main event so far. “Hidden Depths” By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), and Brian Reber (Colors) The Story: Allowed in, Emma Frost travels through Namor’s subconscious looking for [...]

Posted on August 27, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Luke Ross (Pencils & Inks), Rick Magyar & Mark Pennington (Inks), and Dean White (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Anyone else getting annoyed by “X” crossovers? First the Messiah War came and screwed up all the momentum that X-Force had. Then Utopia started and completely derailed the Dark Avengers… The [...]

X-Men: Legacy #227(Utopia) – Review

Posted on August 22, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Mike Carey (Writer), Dustin Weaver (Pencils), Ed Tadeo (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The X-Men: Legacy Utopia arc serves the dual purpose of expanding the riots and getting Rogue (possibly Gambit and Danger as well) back into the main X-Men scheme of things. That makes for a good “X” [...]

Wolverine: Weapon X #4

Posted on August 19, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Jason Aaron (Writer), Ron Garney (Art), and Jason Keith (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Wolverine may be overexposed these days, but Jason Aaron’s Weapon X series is definitely a keeper.

Posted on August 12, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Brian Reed (Writer), Sergio Arino (Art), and Ikari Studios (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The War of the Marvels has gotten off to a pretty good start. As long as things don’t get too convoluted (as has happened with a Ms. Marvel story or two in the past), the War could go down [...]

Uncanny X-Men #514 (Utopia) – Review

Posted on August 12, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Matt Fraction (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks), and Justin Ponsor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Utopia has been pretty weak so far. While it hasn’t been awful, it certainly feels like it’s getting in the way of better things. Dark Avengers was on a roll prior to Utopia, and Uncanny X-Men [...]

Dark X-Men: The Beginning #2 (Utopia) – Review

Posted on July 29, 2009 by pozzyfreak

Some Thoughts Before The Review: I picked up the first Dark X-Men: The Beginning book because I liked the characters that were featured.

Posted on July 22, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Cristopher Yost (Writers) and Mike Choi & Sonia Oback (Artists) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The less said about the Messiah War, the better.

Ms. Marvel #41 (Dark Reign) – Review

Posted on July 9, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Brian Reed (Writer), Sergio Ariño (Artist), and Emily Warren w/Christina Strain (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Yeah, it’s weird… But I’m digging the current Ms. Marvel arc quite a bit. A deceitful, morally shady “hero” that’s standing in for the real hero? Storyteller jar babies? Colorful cosmic looking entities that may or may [...]

Dark X-Men: The Beginning #1 (Utopia) – Review

Posted on July 9, 2009 by pozzyfreak

Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’m always a bit hesitant to pick up story collections like Dark X-Men: The Beginning because they tend to be rather hit-or-miss. That said, I couldn’t possibly pass up a Namor story by the Captain Britain team. “Namor/Norman” By Paul Cornell (Writer), Leonard Kirk (Pencils), Jay Leisten (Inks), and Brian [...]

Posted on July 9, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Mike Carey (Writer), Dustin Weaver (Pencils), Ed Tadeo (Inks), and Brian Reber (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I always feel like part of the problem when I pick up an issue of a series just because it’s a tie-in to some sort of event. And I feel like an even bigger part of [...]

Posted on July 1, 2009 by pozzyfreak

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.

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writer), Clayton Crain (Art), and Duane Swierczynski & Ariel Olivetti (Epilogue) Some Thoughts Before The Review: One… more… comic… Just one more… The Messiah War is almost over… The Story: The Messiah War comes to a close as everything comes to a head.
