Mark Millar, Greg Land

Marvel Comics, 2006

Yeah, baby...!!!!!!

+ The other side of the Marvel Zombies tale
+ Zombies and Carmen Miranda

This was a really fun read -- the Ultimate FF series has definitely hit its stride here, with an action-packed story arc that encompasses Doc Doom, the Skrulls, time travel and a high-power smackdown with those pesky undead doppelgangers who snuck in from Robert Kirkman's "Marvel Zombies" universe. ...

Super Reader

+ A crisis to correct crisis? Like a war to end war...

A well-done novelisation that is perhaps a little wonky to start with, but actually seems to come together better at the end, than the actual comics. Whether the writing got a little better, or I was just drawn into the story more again--which definitely happened--doesn't really matter, it just ...

Just keeps getting better and better

+ Robert Kirkman is less man and more God
+ Excellent followup!!

Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley are one of the reasons why I spend ridiculous amounts of money every month. I do this not only to buy Invincible, but also to buy as many other trade paperbacks and comics as possible just to see if there's someone out there who can top these two guys! So far I ...

Not the -Ultimate X-Men Vol 8-. Danielle Moonstar returns, a reluctant but willing helper to Professor X ... only to be offered a job as a teacher as the Xavier Institute.

Steve Niles

DC Comics, 2006

Story and Writing: C+, Art and Visuals: A

Wow, the writing was ridiculously bad. This is supposed to be Batman vs. Zombies (by the writer of 30 Days of Night, which I like), but instead of being scary or suspenseful I actually laughed out loud at how bad the writing was. Batman's dialogue and internal thoughts were completely out of ...
