I just didn't find this entertaining enough to be a five, or even four star, book. It seemed like a typical GI Joe story, although they're now working in the open so they have to keep public opinion of them from dropping too low. Mostly, I hated how much they got into Cover Girl, and her backst...
I guess because I own the issues now and I'm morbidly interested in what's happening to the TF universe. And I don't want to be that fan: "Oh, no, Optimus is dead and you've ruined Transformers forever!" "Oh, no, Transformers is going with animal alt modes now? You've ruined Transformers fore...
Dark Prelude is the last graphic novel before I begin Dark Cybertron. So many seeds have been planted, in both More Than Meets the Eye, Dark Cybertron, and this collection of Spotlights. Spotlights are pretty much what they sound like: each issue is devoted to one character. And while, yes, it...
I really disliked [b:Avengers vs. X-Men|14885892|Avengers vs. X-Men|Brian Michael Bendis|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355941058s/14885892.jpg|20539640]. It was, to me, the pinnacle of characters behaving in ways that they never would normally, because there would be no story if they d...
Making Tony the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was such a dumb idea. It really should have been the dumbest of the aftermath of Civil War, but then One More Day came along to redefine worst plot development in a comic book continuity ever.Practically speaking, Tony's director status doesn't have any effec...
This is a really quite good short series about Tony Stark's interaction with a screwed-over genetically enhanced superwoman up until the final chapter, which culminates in not one but two absolutely ridiculous revelations, and then focuses entirely on Tony's not inconsiderable man pain -- a pretty b...
It isn't terrible, but it's boring. Too wordy, character insights all copped from better stories, and the plot makes no sense. Actually, there are two plots. They do not make sense apart and they do not make sense together. The final two pages are so mawkish they are downright embarassing.Skippa...
Deciding not to skirt around the issue of a Manhattan layered with dead people and debris, Warren Ellis has Tony Stark be one of the first to enter the city since the 'Ultimatum Wave'. In doing so, he discovers that a substantial amount of Iron Man tech has been stolen and sold in the seedy super-cr...
