A dark chapter

+ Dark Spidey
+ Powerful story, not happy times for Spidey!

I thought that the first half of this book was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. The book features a darker Spider-man than in the past fraught with the shooting of his aunt and gets into the consequences of acting without the mask. I can't wait to read the rest in One More Day. Where ...

So this happen to some of the Depowered Mutants ...

This is not the greatest TPB in the world, but I did enjoy reading about some old characters in their new roles in the post House of M/Civil War world. The New Warriors, or should I say The New New Warriors.... sorry, that was a bad joke, where was I? oh yeah! The New Warriors are bucking the ...
  
  











  



  
Moon Knight Vol. 2: Midnight Sun8 reviews
Charlie Huston

Marvel Comics, 2008

Best for Moon Knight vets

+ Woah, Great book, older fans shouldn't complain

This volume carries on the story from volume 1 in excellent form, reviving one of MK's classic villans and updating him for today's standards. This series is definitely more enjoyable for readers familiar with the character, and Huston's flashbacks and mindgames can make this a confusing read. ...

Brian Michael Bendis

Marvel Books, 2008

Thanks Bendis.

+ Another team of Avengers and the return of Ultron

Bendis is, without a doubt, the most brilliant writer in the comics industry today. I loved his work on Daredevil, and followed him over here when The Mighty Avengers started. I'm glad that I did. I haven't always been a fan of the Avengers, in fact during the eighties and nineties when there ...

Psychological Warfare

After Black Bolt was revealed to be a Skrull, I decided to go and check this out from the Library. Being a superhero comic book with 'war' in the title, I had expected it to be a book centered around big action scenes. However, I was pleasantly surprised when this story turned out to be much more ...

Slowly but surely, this series is improving...

Heroes for Hire Vol. 2: Ahead of the Curve is a fun read - not spectacular, but a good enough time. After the first volume, I was prepared to write this series off, but as this newest volume shows, there is some potential here - although this series still has a long way to go. Fans wondering if ...

Armageddon for Atlantis

The Submariner is one of Marvel's oldest and most enduring creations. What's remarkable about Revolution is how writers Cherniss and Johnson have been able to maintain the continuity of Namor's legacy and bring 60 years of the character's history full circle in one short series. This ...

This storyline is awesome! I don't want to say anything specific for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I will only say that if you're a fan of any of the characters, particularly the green goblin/norman osborn, you must read this. 'nuff said.

Okay in a world where we have "Infinite Crisis", "Civil War", "Amazon's Attack", "52", "World War Hulk", "One More Day", & "BND!!" & then "FINAL CRISIS" it is nice to return to a story of good old super heroes beating good old super villans. One or maybe two stories to tell the tale and a nice cup ...

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 ...
