Punisher War Journal Volume 4: Jigsaw! Premiere HC (Punisher)
Matt Fraction, Rick Remender, ...

Marvel Comics, 2009

All the players are assembled...the stage is set...the lights are lowered...and a conspiracy 18 issues in the making begins. This is it: the ultimate revenge saga as designed and engineered by Punisher's arch-rival, Jigsaw! He's killed off the loose ends from Frank Castle's life before the Punisher; he's replacing him on the streets with a leaner, meaner psychotic; and now Jiggy's taking out ...
  
  











  



  
The Order Vol. 1: The Next Right Thing (Iron Man, Avengers)3 reviews
Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

The Superhero Book That Couldn't But Should've. . .

+ A Hollywood superhero story

Matt Fraction is one of the most prolific of Marvel's new wave of young writers - and one whose name consistently promises quality comic books. The Order is no exception - it's probably the best book that no one was reading until it was too late. Early in the book, the team's captain is talking to ...

ALMOST AS AWESOME AS FAMILY CIRCUS.

+ He's a monkey AND a spy. What's not to love?
+ Hilarious!

If Jeffy from Family Circus were a talking super-spy gorilla in a tuxedo, Family Circus would be a much different comic strip. Jeffy from Family Circus is not a gorilla. I think there's a gorilla in The Annotated Mantooth! That's crazy. I would not let a real gorilla into my house; but a book ...

Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

More tales of the Iron Fist. Can I get a "Kii-yaahhh!!"?

+ A step back from the first two in this series

I've been an Iron Fist guy since the days of POWER MAN AND IRON FIST back in the '80s. In the decades following, dude's popped up now and again, but, disappointingly, Danny Rand barely registered a murmur on the comic book radar, not nearly enough noise to merit another shot at an ongoing series. ...
  
  











  



  
Punisher War Journal Volume 3: Hunter Hunted TPB (Punisher)1 review
Matt Fraction, Ariel Olivetti

Marvel Comics, 2008

Surprisingly not bad

It has been no secret that I have not been a fan of Punisher War Journal since its debut. As a lifelong fan of the character, I have always felt that Garth Ennis' MAX take on the character is the definitive take on the Punisher, where as Matt Fraction's (Immortal Iron Fist) take on Punisher War ...

Young Avengers Presents TPB (Young Avengers)1 review
Ed Brubaker, Brian Reed, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A variable collection of stories by talented creators.

The Young Avengers arrived on the Marvel scene in 2005 with a bang; the original twelve-issue series by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, published with increasing delays, ended midway through 2006. And then...the characters, at the threshold of real stardom, ended up in limbo. Over the succeeding ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Divided Who Stands?

"X-Men: Divided We Stand" is not to be confused with "Uncanny X-Men: Divided We Stand." The latter stars Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, etc., while this book stars a B- and C-list of mutants, such as Cannonball, Husk, Nightcrawler, Storm, Neznho, Anole, Beast, Dark Beast, Havok, Vulcan, Pixie, and ...
  
  











  



  
Punisher War Journal Volume 2: Goin' Out West TPB (Punisher)2 reviews
Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

Laughable

Matt Fraction's (co-writer of the surprisingly good Iron Fist with Ed Brubaker) launch and run on Punisher War Journal has been less than flattering to the character to say the least. The issues contained in the first volume of the series found Frank Castle making his "return" to the Marvel ...
  
  











  



  
The Order Volume 2: California Dreaming TPB (Order)2 reviews
Matt Fraction, Barry Kitson

Marvel Comics, 2008

California Dreaming is almost good...

The Order Volume 2 continues the story from Volume 1. In it you get the short version of the rest of the team's origin stories. There's major action and tragedy and the story is captivating up until the 10th issue where the ending to me seemed to fall a flat. With so much going on and so much ...

Is this a book about fairy tale ninjas? My suggestion is this: Maybe buy the book and read it. I think the book will answer your ninja question for you. There is a bank robbery in the book. And the secret to making the perfect jello mold with fruit in it. Matt Fraction is 100 years old ...
