Comic Review For The Week of 11/4/09

Rating System: 0 to 1.5 stars = save your money unless you are just mindlessly collecting the title. 2 to 3.5 = worth a shot if you are up to trying something new or wanting to get back into a title. 4 to 5 = a must buy for any comic reader. STAR WARS: INVASION #5 - This is the last issue of the Invasion limited series, but probably not the end of the story. Dark Horse announced recently that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic would be ending some time next year to be replaced by a new St...

Comic Reviews For The Week Of 10/28/09

Rating System: 0 to 1.5 stars = save your money unless you are just mindlessly collecting the title. 2 to 3.5 = worth a shot if you are up to trying something new or wanting to get back into a title. 4 to 5 = a must buy for any comic reader. ANTI-VENOM: NEW WAYS TO LIVE #2 - I get it. Venom is popular. So was the Joker rip-off, Carnage. I’m a big Marvel and Spidey fan, but I firmly believe that the Symbiote Saga and the Clone Crap have damaged the Spider-Man books so bad that even “big” event...

Dark Reign: Siege Kicks Off The Climax To The Dark Reign Story This January

I’m worried that Brian Michael Bendis might burn himself out if he’s not careful. Spider-Woman, Dark Avengers, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, New Avengers, Powers and who knows what else down the pipe - that’s a pretty big monthly load for a writer. Coming in January, Bendis plans on bringing us the climax of the Dark Reign storyline with Siege. Here’s some quotes from his recent interview with Marvel.com: "We are at the climax," Bendis says of SIEGE's place within the Dark Reign epic. "Norman Os...

More Shake-Ups for Marvel’s Ultimate Universe

In the Ultimatum storyline that decimated the heroes of the Ultimate universe - the X-Men were all but destroyed, the Fantastic Four disbanded, the Ultimates were forced to regroup with S.H.I.E.L.D. and even Spider-Man had to get a job at a fast food restaurant. All the titles were cancelled, but Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man (ongoing), Ultimate Comics: Iron Man Armor Wars (limited series) and Ultimate Comics: Avengers (ongoing) quickly replaced the old titles. All this destruction and rebooting s...

Comic Reviews For The Week of 9/23

MAKE SURE THESE ARE ON YOUR PULL LIST… HALO: HELLJUMPER #3 - I wish the last two HALO limited series had been this good. Peter David is writing a great story that not only has you guessing what the Convenat are up to, but the interactions between the ODSTs make me long for a decent G.I. Joe comic. Eric Nguyen’s art is good, but would be really great if he drew some backgrounds. If you’ve already bought the new HALO: ODST game or looking for something to tide you over, check this series out. ...

Ghost Rider Sequel in the Works Along With Reboots of Most Existing Marvel Franchises…

Nicolas Cage loves comics. It’s no secret. Ghost Rider was his first real foray into the world of comic movies and most people gave it a fail. But with Disney’s buy of Marvel, everybody is Hollywood is scrambling to either hold onto their Marvel movie rights or grab their ankles and wait for Disney to drill the box office. Columbia Pictures has been a little cool to doing a Ghost Rider sequel, even with Nick Cage talking it up in the media. Now they are planning to get a follow-up movie on the f...
