‘Essential Daredevil Volume 5’ could more honestly be titled ‘Essential Daredevil And The Black Widow’ because the lovely Natasha Romanov features heavily. Her loveliness varies slightly according to which artist is drawing her but she always looks pretty damn good in her skin-tight black leather. O...

I ask because the question was brought up in my own mind here: at times, writers are vehement about insisting Vision is a synthezoid and not an android, and at times they are quite casual about the interchange of these words. When they talk about him in the little boxes, they never call him an and...

It really didn't have that much Ultron. Bride of Ultron was the name of one issue, and well, there was a lot of Not-Ultron before and after. So I just wanted Ultron to, y'know, come back. That being said, I also felt this was a bit dialogue and exposition heavy. Marvel was really, really wo...

reading the biography bit at the end caused my brain to hurt. That was one confused dude! Ant Man has had to deal with a lot of issues in his life and a lot of them are to do with identiy and guilt. He's a bit of a mess and this has some snapshots of his life and different identities. Intresting...

Some good Iron Man stories here but few real classics. The highlight of the book is all the great Gene Colan artwork. Jasper Sitwell, dedicated agent of SHIELD, makes his debut in this volume, but most of the characters are cardboard and throwaway.

One of the better Essentials volumes, simply for the diverse art styles. The original X-Men title was beginning it's way out (and was nearly canceled entirely after issue #66, when it became a reprint title), but that meant there could be a lot of experimentation by writers and artists. This volume ...

This was one of my favorite storylines as a kid, since the original Liberty Legion stories really ended up including all of Marvel Comics' major Golden Age characters in one tale. This book includes Invaders #5-6 and Marvel Premiere #29-30, which were the first appearances of the Liberty Legion. The...

I liked it, but I did not love it. Usually, I tend to breeze through anthologies like this, but this one seemed to take forever. It just did not hold my attention overall. I think an issue is that many of the comics in this collection have not aged well. You have to give credit where it is due: Roy ...

"Come, friends--let us go away from this dumb place."- The Hulk, Defenders #12, Steve EnglehartIf two failed Hulk movies, and the way that same character stole The Avengers, can teach us anything, it's that Bruce Banner's big, angry alter-ego generally works best in small doses. I've always been hap...

It was all right. I was sort of hoping we could see when Rogue and Storm first joined.It was true to form, using the original comics and it is what it is.
