“Wolverine” #8 (1988)

By | Aug 17, 2021 | Reviews

The eighth issue of “Wolverine” makes better use of the Grey Hulk, a.k.a. “Joe Fixit” now that he’s more firmly established in Madripoor. The history between the two characters is used to great effect with the story taking a left turn in having the two powerhouses working together. Written by Chris Claremont Illustrated by John […]

“Green Goblin” #6

By | Aug 9, 2021 | Reviews

Issue #5 gave us a surprisingly introspective story, playing to the strengths of the series’s writing. Even with a lot of the structural and pacing issues of the early chapters, and often through some cheesy dialog, DeFalco has always had a grasp on Phil as a character. Giving his inner-conflicts the spotlight was a welcome […]
