Written by Alyssa Wong | Art by Michael Yg | Published by Marvel Comics So, what’s this then? A new Iron Fist book? Last I saw Danny Rand had lost all his powers. And had blond hair. The guy on the front cover is clearly Iron Fist, but not a blond hair to be seen. […]
Wolverine #19 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Javi Fernandez | Colourist: Matthew Wilson | Letters: Cory Petit I didn’t think it was possible to get a great standalone issue in modern comics, especially in the Krakoan Age of X-Men comics we are currently in. But I am always happy to be proven wrong! What I […]
Written by J.M. DeMatteis | Art by David Baldeon | Published by Marvel Comics Retro certainly seems to be in the air at Marvel these days. After my last review, which was looking at the ‘new’ Silver Surfer book that is written and drawn by its old 90’s creative team, we now get J.M DeMatteis […]
Written by Ron Marz | Art by Ron Lim, Don Ho | Published by Marvel Comics When I saw this on the schedule it was a no-brainer pick up. Back in the day I loved the early 1990’s Silver Surfer run, originally started by the dream team of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers. Batons, of […]
Written by Charles Soule, Leonardo Romero, Declan Shalvey | Art by Mark Bagley, John Dell, Leonardo Romero, Simone D’Armini | Published by Marvel Comics Elektra is a character that Marvel just can’t seem to make an A-lister. They’ve tried many different approaches down the years, some have worked, most haven’t, but the fact remains that […]
Written by Jed Mackay | Art by Various | Published by Marvel Comics Love the ,er, love that Kang is getting from Marvel these days. I’ve always loved him, and that includes that goofy green and purple costume that used to get so much hate. To my mind he’s always been one of the big […]
Written by Chip Zdarsky | Art by Marco Checchetto | Published by Marvel Comics Oh look, it’s another ‘event’ book. Soon monthly books will probably cease to exist, considering how many of these event books both Marvel and DC pump out these days. Not a criticism, as publishers will just follow what the consumer wants. […]
Written by Donny Cates | Art by Ryan Ottley | Published by Marvel Comics Bad news is, no more Immortal Hulk. That book was consistently at the top of my must read list. It took a very familiar mythology, twisted it around a little, and made it seem new and fresh. The good news is, […]
Written by Steve Orlando | Art by Cian Tormey | Published by Marvel Comics Another big ‘nothing will ever be the same etc etc’ number one issue. Sigh. Whenever I see these I am simultaneously disappointed and intrigued. Disappointed in that so many of these have the feeling of déjà vu. There’s only so many […]
Written by Jed Mackay | Art by Lee Garbett | Published by Marvel Comics Firstly, what a stunning cover. Reminds me of the Frank Brunner stuff from the 1970’s. If that’s what Kaare Andrews was shooting for, it’s a bullseye. If not, a damn good unintended tribute. So, it’s another Marvel event, albeit a mini-one […]
Written by Tom Taylor | Art by Iban Coello | Published by Marvel Comics I almost didn’t pick this up, as all the advance blurbs I had seen seemed to be promoting yet another ‘event of the month’ type thing. There’s only so many times you can go back to the well when it comes […]
Written by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing | Art by Carlos Magno | Published by Marvel Comics Kang has always been one of those villains that should be an absolute A-lister, right up there with Loki, Doctor Doom, Magneto and Kingpin. For some reason or other, he’s never quite got there. Sure he’s been a regular […]
Written by Al Ewing | Art by Javier Rodriguez, Alvaro Lopez | Published by Marvel Comics Who doesn’t love The Defenders? Everyone loves an underdog, and the Defenders were the little team that could. Sure, they had heavy hitters as members. Hulk, Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange among many others, but it was the revolving door […]
Written by Jed Mackay | Art by Alessandro Cappuccio | Published by Marvel Comics Moon Knight is one of those characters that you always feel should be bigger than he is. Cool visuals, unique character set up and modus operandi, some great creative people working on him down the years, and yet he just can’t […]
Written by Nick Spencer | Art by Mark Bagley | Published by Marvel Comics I’ve written elsewhere that I’m not Nick Spencer’s biggest fan, and I’ve not been impressed with what he’s done with Peter Parker and the Spider-Man books he’s written. Yet here I am reviewing a Spider-Man book he’s written. Hear me out, […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Ed McGuinness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics Although I haven’t reviewed every issue, that would be a bit too much even for me, I have read every issue of the Heroes Reborn/ Return ‘event’. That’s 18 issues in total, and I can honestly say there was […]
Written by Donny Cates, Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Ryan Stegman, Various | Published by Marvel Comics I’ve written in a few previous reviews about my, at best, ambivalence about Venom as a character. I’ve never really took to him. I say that as someone who bought the alien symbiote costume’s first appearance from […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Luke Ross | Published by Marvel Comics Here we are then, the main event. War of the Bounty Hunters has been trailed for quite some time already across the fan press, and we’ve already seen the prelude stuff across the Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, Darth Vader, and Doctor […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by R.M. Guera, Ed McGuinness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics As event comics go, this has been a pretty fun ride so far. Alongside the main Heroes Reborn book, there have been quite a few one-shots taking longer looks at faces both familiar and not so. All, […]
Written by Gene Luen Yang | Art by Dike Ruan | Published by Marvel Comics With the imminent release of the upcoming Shang-Chi movie, I was expecting to see a lot of ‘push’ on the character, and I wasn’t wrong. For me, the Shang-Chi I know and love was the one from the late 1970’s/ […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Ramon Rosanas | Published by Marvel Comics Every time I pick up a Star Wars book, it makes me wonder why I’m not picking up more Star Wars books. I always enjoy them when I read them, but for whatever reason they are never top of the pile. […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Ed McGuiness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics I mentioned fairly recently that Marvel of late have been muscling in on DC’s territory, with a whole raft of alternate world/ alternate universe/ what if type stuff, across TV, film, and comics. Nothing wrong with that of course, […]
