“X-Factor” #1-12

By | Jun 10, 2019 | Reviews

Peter David started writing stories for Marvel in 1985. He was responsible for a historic (and some would say the all-time best) run of the “Incredible Hulk,” from 1985-1997. He helped create the Thunderbolts. And he wrote a ton of X-Men, mostly through the “X-Factor” series, first in the 1990s, and again in 2006. Peter […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy Annual” #1

By | Jun 7, 2019 | Reviews

This “Guardians of the Galaxy” run has been the shot of energy the series needed. After a groundbreaking epic decade of books from creators like Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Keith Giffen the series became a repetitive pirate book, with the familiar gang from the movie (and Avengers as guest stars) going to silly planets […]

“Jughead the Hunger Versus Vampironica” #2

By | Jun 7, 2019 | Reviews

Maybe by the time “Jughead the Hunger Versus Vampironica” hits the third issue the story will finally rise to the level of the art, but for now, it’s pure eye candy with a convoluted and cumbersome script. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.) Written by Frank Tieri Illustrated by Pat & Tim Kennedy, Joe Eisma, Bob […]

“Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III” #2

By | Jun 7, 2019 | Reviews

This is a review for an issue of “Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III”. I know I’m pointing out the obvious, but that simple fact just blows my mind. Think about how DC Comics and IDW Publishing both saw fit to bless us with a Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team-up mini-series. I can hardly believe that […]

“Black Cat” #1

By | Jun 6, 2019 | Reviews

For a character with such a well-established history in comics, it is surprising that Black Cat has never had a solo series. Even more impressive is how this creative team delivers on that debut in a way that seems so effortless. Written by Jed Mackay Illustrated by Travel Foreman Colored by Brian Reber Lettered by […]

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

By | Jun 6, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

The X-Men Cinematic Universe has been uneven over the years.  Films that focus on singular characters, such as Wolverine and Deadpool, see some of the greatest successes in the franchise. On the flip side, the ensemble films such as X-Men: First Class have had mixed reviews. With a focus on Jean Grey rather than the […]

Pick of the Week: “Thumbs” #1

By | Jun 6, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

At 60 pages, you’d think reading the premier issue of this 5-issue miniseries might feel…I don’t know…a little more like you just read half of an Image Comics trade paperback. That’s almost three issues’ worth of comic! But reader, I’m here to tell you that “Thumbs” #1 will be over before you know it and, […]
