“Dead Man Logan” #1

By | Nov 30, 2018 | Reviews

“Dead Man Logan” #1 is the beginning of the end for the adventures of the grizzled Logan from an alternate, desolate Marvel universe. And while it incorporates story elements from earlier in the series, it aims to be its own stand-alone narrative. But does it succeed in providing a proper send-off? Written by Ed Brisson […]

“Uncanny X-Men” #1

By | Nov 16, 2018 | Reviews

It has finally arrived. The much anticipated new volume of “Uncanny X-Men” was released on an extra-sized first issue that harkens back to a narrative style of old, combined with a more modern flare. And while it also brings some of the downside of past eras, it succeeds far more than it falls short. Written […]

“X-Men Red” #10

By | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

How does a war based on fear and the conception on constant threat can be won? How can a group, fear and hated by a world they are sworn to protect, can win a battle without showing massive amounts of destruction capacity? It is this question that lies at the core of “X-Men Red” #10 […]

“Heroes in Crisis” #2

By | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

A good murder mystery usually presents some core components to lure readers in and to keep them invested throughout the narrative. A complex, often impossible, situation. Suspects and suspicious events. An underlying theme, that seems to be just background noise and pervasiveness, until it raises its head as something more crucial. “Heroes in Crisis” #2 […]

“Old Lady Harley” #1

By | Oct 25, 2018 | Reviews

Some characters in comics have so much exposure, have become so ingrained in fandom’s consciousness as a presence (rather than an individual) that it becomes harder to tell stories that feel truly unique or that move motivations and development further. Harley Quinn may be this generation’s biggest new example of that, with a seemingly superhero […]

“Aquaman” #41

By | Oct 19, 2018 | Reviews

Despite its connection to the upcoming “Justice League” ‘Drowned Earth’ crossover, “Aquaman” 41 still falls prey to its recent shortcomings, that of being unable to move past the themes of Arthur as a failed king and Atlantis as a troubled world power. Written by Dan Abnett Pencils by Lan Medina Inked by Vicente Cifuentes Colored […]

“Hawkman” #5

By | Oct 11, 2018 | Reviews

Some series and characters require a certain passion from their respective creative teams. That is sometimes caused by characters that have been overused, or who have been away from the spotlight for too long, or even those, like Hawkman, that are perceived by readers as “too complex” or whose backstories are too “impenetrable.” This is […]

“X-Men Black: Magneto” #1

By | Oct 5, 2018 | Reviews

There is an inherent rhythm and pace around issues focused on character studies. They are less about plot, action or overall development, but rather on what makes its lead tick, their core values and challenges. So when Magneto gets such an issue through “X-Men Black: Magneto,” certain styles are to be expected. Compounded to that, […]

“Doomsday Clock” #7

By | Sep 28, 2018 | Reviews

“Doomsday Clock” is now after its halfway mark and this issue could not be more representative of that. While it still retains its core structure, that of the seminal “Watchmen” series, Johns and Frank seem to intentionally allow new elements in, almost as if a more traditional comic book narrative pervades the “Watchmen-style.” By doing […]

“Return of Wolverine” #1

By | Sep 20, 2018 | Reviews

After so many teases, mini-series and innuendo, the original Wolverine is finally back on the end of the trilogy that marked his Death and Hunt. But was it really worth the wait? Are there really still new ways to tell compelling stories with one of Marvel’s most known characters? If this first issue is any […]
