“X-Factor” #200-206

By | Jul 8, 2019 | Reviews

As such, we go straight from #50 to #200. That being said, we also get something of a return to normalcy for this series. Sure there’s another crossover […]

“Ignited” #2

By | Jul 5, 2019 | Reviews

Overall, the script for “Ignited” #2 does a fine job of interweaving backstory and real-time scenes that help move everything forward. The visual adultification of the book’s high school characters, however, creates a persistent and distracting emotional disconnect that proves difficult to overcome. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.) Written by Mark Waid and Kwanza Osajyefo […]

It’s tough being a new comic book character. The established A-listers sure aren’t going anywhere. Even when they kick the bucket, we all know it won’t be for long.
