Review: Green Arrow #18

By | Mar 8, 2013 | Reviews

One of DC Comics’ most reliable bullpen writers was given the unenviable task of pulling Oliver Queen out of a mess left by 16 mostly forgettable-at-best, incomprehensible-at-worst issues of “Green Arrow.” Let’s see how he’s doing so far. Written by Jeff Lemire Illustrated by Andrea Sorrentino • Oliver Queen has lost everything: His company, his […]

Review: Young Avengers #2

By | Mar 1, 2013 | Reviews

“Young Avengers” #2, even more than the first issue, paints the Gillen-McKelvie joint as a modern book for the modern comic book reader. This seems obvious, but if you’re generally in to what that duo does with comics, then there’s nothing about this book you won’t like. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Jamie McKelvie […]

Review: Five Weapons #1

By | Feb 28, 2013 | Reviews

Back in November, writer/artist Jimmie Robinson started dropping teasers for his latest miniseries, each built around a character and a weapon. The teaser images were stylish, effective and definitely not an approach that you often see for a 5-issue miniseries. But it was worth all that hype, because in a word, “Five Weapons” is terrific. […]

Review: Kill Shakespeare: The Tide of Blood #1

By | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

“Kill Shakespeare” takes a delightfully unique and easy-to-swallow premise and does it one better by bothering to build a gripping story around it. This isn’t simply a case of “what if all of Shakespeare’s characters existed and interacted?” This is a whole world worth getting into. Written by Conor McCreery & Anthony Del Col Illustrated […]

Review: Action Comics #17

By | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

Grant Morrison’s run on “Action Comics” hasn’t had story arcs. Hell, before this issue showed up, it was hard to know if the entire run would have an “arc” at all. Instead, it’s had a myriad of plot devices and stand alone issues that didn’t look like they could possibly come together: The villain from […]

Review: Avengers Assemble #12

By | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

The 2nd arc of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run on “Avengers Assemble” kicks off after a ridiculously fun and bounding 1st arc featuring the whole gang. If issue #12 is any indication, this run looks to darken things just a tad. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Pete Woods The sins of Black Widow’s past […]

Pick of the Week: Uncanny X-Men #1

By | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

Brian Michael Bendis got his groove back by trading in the Avengers for the X-Men. “All-New X-Men” made a terrifically layered book out of a time-travel premise that could easily have come off as gimmicky. Now he relaunches “Uncanny X-Men” by promising to focus on Cyclops’ mutant crusade. By writing stories that feel important and […]
