Last week we lost the great Sam Kieth. He was an artist who left a long-lasting impression. As a reader, you never forget your first Sam Kieth comic. It seems obvious each time I write one of these that we shouldn’t be sad they are gone; we should be grateful for the art he has […]
Logan Black, White & Blood #1 Writers: Tom Waltz, Saladin Ahmed & Larry Hama | Artists: Alex Lins, Adam Kubert & Dave Wachter | Colourist: Arther Hesli | Letters: Cory Petit First of all, I want to say I am a fan of this series format. Although I do think it would be better if […]
Ultimate Wolverine #12 Writer: Chris Condon | Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit With this issue, Condon and Co serve up another stellar story. It is even more impressive when you consider that we are now in the countdown towards Endgame. It still very much feels like its own thing. […]
Ultimate Wolverine #9-#10 Writer: Chris Condon | Artists: Alessandro Cappuccio/Alex Lins | Colourist: Bryna Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit We now know that Ultimate Wolverine will finish with #16, and the Ultimate Universe as a whole will end in January. So yes, we are in the endgame now! Over the course of the first 5 […]
Ultimate Wolverine #8 Writer: Chris Condon | Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit Now there is as much mystery around the release of this series as the story itself. I read recently that the series had been increased to run twelve issues. I haven’t been up to date reading solicitations, […]
Ultimate Wolverine #6-#7 Writer: Chris Condon Artists: Alex Lins & Alessanro Cappuccio | Colours: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit This series continues to deliver on entertainment across these two issues. They both add to the tapestry of the series so far and continue to build the world. With recent news dropping at SDCC regarding […]
I have had some trouble receiving my comics lately, and I must add it is something out of the hands of my LCS. So after 2 months, I am missing Ultimate Wolverine #3 and Sabretooth: The Dead Don’t Talk #4. So with Ultimate Wolverine, I will soldier on and keep reviewing the series. With Sabretooth, […]
This past weekend, after a long battle with ill health, we lost Peter David. So, as he pulls his chair up to the great writing desk in the heavenly bullpen, we look back at the career of one of comics’ most prolific and creative writers. David’s career in comics began via the journalism route after […]
Jackson ‘Butch’ Guice passed away late last week becoming another who is pulling his chair up to the great drawing board in the sky. Guice first came onto my radar with the 2008 Ultimate Origins mini-series. Much to my embarrassment, I assumed he was a hot new talent, as at the time the Ultimate Universe […]
Wolverine Revenge #5 Writer: Jonathan Hickman | Artist: Greg Capullo | Inker: Tim Townsend | Colourist: Alex Sinclair | Letters: Cory Petit After the previous turned into ‘Old Man Logan Lite’, this final issue takes yet another turn in tone and delivers a somewhat satisfactory conclusion. It is probably not the tone and conclusion you […]
Wolverine #6 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit As I predicted last issue this arc is not wrapping up with the sixth issue. On the positive side of this turn of events, Ahmed does a good job of keeping the story ticking. This is done by […]
Ultimate Wolverine #1 Writer: Chris Condon | Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit First of all, I think it’s good to have an Ultimate universe back that is generating such a buzz. I have heard Spider-Man is very good, whilst I myself am very interested in The Ultimates and will […]
Sabretooth: The Dead Don’t Talk #1 Writer: Frank Tieri | Artist: Michael Sta. Maria | Colourist: Dono Sanchez-Almara | Letters: Joe Sabino With a backlog of comics for November and December this was actually the one I was most looking forward to digging into. I’m sure I have made it common knowledge that Frank Tieri […]
50: Wolverine (v1) #87 W: Larry Hama P: Adam Kubert I: Dan Green C:Marie Javins This issue was never not going to make the list. I choose it because it centres around Maverick but of course, it is a Wolverine story first and foremost. When I got into collecting Wolverine comics one of the things […]
Wolverine #2 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters:Cory Petit I think it is best to describe my review of Wolverine #1 as lukewarm, although I had plenty of positives to talk about. Admittedly I was expecting more of the same going into the second instalment, but I was […]
The Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Wolverine & Psylocke 2-Pack celebrates Marvel’s 50th anniversary by featuring highly detailed 6-inch figures of two beloved X-Men characters. These particular Wolverine and Psylocke figures are inspired by the appearance of the characters in Marvel’s “The Uncanny X-Men” comics Design & Build Quality Both figures boast exceptional articulation, enabling a […]
Wolverine #1 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit Wolverine comes roaring back with a new number one. It’s good that we didn’t have too long a wait between one series ending and the next one starting. After all, we are in his 50th year so he […]
Wolverine is one of the most iconic heroes around and I mean both visually and characteristically. He has endured for 50 years in the comics and is now a big-screen powerhouse. He has an instantly recognisable aesthetic whether he is in costume or his street clothes. He even has the ability to change his fatigues […]
After a summer holiday and some postal delays, I am finally back covering all things Adamantium-laced. Although there are only two books to cover this month, I feel enough time has passed that I can do a Wolverine-centric review of Deadpool and Wolverine complete with spoilers. Life of Wolverine #1 Writer: Jim Zub | Artist: […]
Weapon X-Men #4 Writer: Christos Gage | Artist: Yildiray Cinar | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Clayton Cowles I don’t want to come down too harshly on this as I have really enjoyed the series and even called it my sleeper hit of 2024. I think the best way to sum up this issue and […]
For me, Wolverine started as a Saturday morning cartoon character. In fact I saw the first X-Men movie before picking up a comic. This just goes to show the strength and popularity of the character, with 2024 his 50th year in comics which coincides with potentially his biggest and best outing on the big screen. […]
Wolverine #47 Writers: Benjamin Percy & Victor LaValle | Artist: Geoff Shaw | Colourist: Alex Sinclair | Letters: Cory Petit As the cover promises Laura takes the lead role for the majority of the issue. And all I can say is it’s about damn time! I have been waiting for her to play a part […]
