Wolverine: Evolution11 reviews
Jeph Loeb, Simone Bianchi

Marvel Comics, 2007

well, I rather liked it

+ All-Around Awesome
+ Bloody Awesome!

Personally, I thought this was a great story (Loeb is a great writer) and I found the art to be very good as well. Perhaps the dialogue could have used a little more work and there are a few weak points here and there, but overall it is a great addition to the story of Logan. I'd say I'd miss ...

Superman has never been better

Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2004

AWESOME

+ Unexpected

I was never a comic fan until I read this and Watchmen. For a noob in the comic world, the Ultimates changed how I saw comics and now I'm a huge Mark Millar fan. I highly recommend this trade! Just beware that vol 2 book 2 fell short for me in the series. There was so much build up in vol ...

Alan Moore's Summer Blockbuster!

+ Ignore the negative reviews, this book is AWESOME!

Sometimes we get so used to a creator breaking new ground that when he just tells a great story on an existing landmass, we think he wrote a bad story. All the reveiwers here that claim this book is bad, are those type of people. If you look at Alan Moore's Tom Strong books, they are not like ...

Wildstorm, 2007

Classic Garth Ennis Mayhem

If you enjoyed the Kev books, you'll get a kick out of Ennis' run on MIDNIGHTER. While this run was controversial for its hyperbolic intro ("not a lover, not a father, not a friend"), it quickly gets down to brass tacks with Ennis' usual zany characters, sarcastic dialogue, and situations which ...
  
  











  



  
New Avengers Vol. 5: Civil War12 reviews
Brian Michael Bendis

Marvel Comics, 2007

New Avengers continues to be great

+ In Retrospect, Insightful and Pertinent
+ good but not great

Great stuff. Not for the uninitiated, but fans of New Avengers and Civil War should love this. The best of the Civil War tie-in books. Highlights are the Leinil Yu Cage issue and the Chaykin Captain America issue.

Vampires beware

The premise of a black ops team being organized to battle tribes of vampires is an intriguing one, as are the entities that comprise it. In this particular case that includes, among others, a vampire, a cyborg, and a difficult to categorize individual named Ab-Death. Plus they are joined by a ...

Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2002

plah!

+ Solid comic-book storytelling
+ A Fresh Start

Since I don't want any confusion I did not give it 5 stars I it more than generously deserves only 2. Someone else was using my account and I haven't figured out how to change the star rating yet. Stupid b*st*rd slandering my good name.
