It's been a long time since both New and Mighty Avengers were released on the same day. It's also been a long time since New Avengers wasn't terribly painful for me to read. Coincidence? Maybe. With both of Bendis' books being released last week, now seemed like the best time to throw the two books together in one review and see what comes of it. I've compared the two titles in the past but things have changed since then. Would Mark Bagley's ... Read More

Thor #7 was the highlight of a pull list that included not only the latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man but also the latest outing from the Justice League of America. This fact really shouldn't come as a surprise. Thor's been the best thing going at Marvel since the relaunch actually took place back in 2007. With a new artist on board, could Thor #7 keep the momentum going? The quick answer is yes. The momentum is still entirely intact. Staczynski may have had ... Read More

Once again, it's time for a new two-part story in the world of Wonder Woman! As usual, the writing by Gail Simone is fantastic, giving Wonder Woman the personality and voice that has been thrown around a lot for some time now. It's like a match made in heaven; it's always making me say, "Oh, Wonder Woman would so do that." Simone brings a great balance of action, great dialogue and stories interesting enough to keep me hooked on this series. The humor ... Read More

The Brand New Day keeps on rolling in Spider-Man #554 but just how long will it last? Seriously, this day is starting to drag on and, if the writers don't start to distance themselves from not only the tag line but the whole idea in general, it could cost them. As for Amazing Spider-Man #554, it basically wraps up whatever mess was started at the beginning of March but, like you're about to find out, it's not really done the way most ... Read More

If you didn't know it was coming, you should have. Thunderbolts #119 came out last week and, much like I expected, was the highlight of my pull list. In my opinion, Ellis and Deodato can do no wrong when it comes to this title. I guess I should have saved this for the end of the review. Still looking for the details? Read on. Warren Ellis, like in the issues before this, seems to be getting better and better at juggling the whole ... Read More

"Don't the Avengers need help saving the world? Or maybe one of the half-dozen groups you run with?" With a quote like that, it looks like Jason Aaron's been paying attention to Wolverine's place in the Marvel Universe. All jokes aside though, this isn't about how many books Wolverine is in. This time, I'm reviewing the one book that still sits on the fence as it relates to my pull list. With a strong first outting in Wolverine #62, could Aaron and Garney ... Read More

I don't read many DC books but I can never help myself when it comes to Detective Comics. Usually contained to only one or two issues, Detective Comics is the right choice for those of you out there that don't really have the time or patience to follow a continuous storyline like what readers are presented with in the Batman comic book currently being written by Grant Morrison. This month in Detective Comics, we learn the true origins of Batman's mysterious armor ... Read More

Moving into the third month of Spider-Man's Brand New Day, the creative team changes up once again with the addition of Bob Gale as writer and Phil Jimenez on pencils. The title has been moving along nicely since it's "relaunch" earlier this year but the main question is, how long can the Spidey brain trust keep it up? Eventually, someone's bound to slip up, right? Would Gale and Jimenez keep the trend going or would ASM finally suffer it's first real disappointment? ... Read More
