Chris' Fish Place
Chris' Fish Place rated it 7 years ago
This is the first issue of a Marvel series that brings Dracula to the 1970s. It is very Hammer House of Horror, and somewhat predictable if you have read comics from the 50s or 70s - those horror comics. It's not bad and somewhat enjoyable. I love the credits square at the start of the comic. ...

This is the last issue in the MU right now and that's a shame: I'm starting to enjoy this series more. A lot of the focus is on... well, not Carnage. Or it is, but it's about people trying to track him down. Taking the spotlight off him is a smart move, too. They're more interesting, more ...

And brings him on board her boat. Except that he's Carnage, of course, just stripped down to his Cletus persona. Even treating his injuries and feeding him doesn't save her from his own need for power, especially since she can get him to where he's going. It's the girl, it's watching him not ...

Ghost Rider was about vengeance, and Punisher is about Punishment: they aren't series about sociopaths with no restraint. Same for Dexter, and as such all three fulfill revenge fantasies in a purely fictional - and safe - environment. As the reader, I'm allowed to explore my own dark thoughts wi...

Legal immigrants, and a father and son who are cops to boot. What happens when the father is killed? Well, the son, bitter by the mistrust he faces daily, decides to take justice into his own hands. It's easier when he can follow Castle to his quarry. Except that there's more to this than a ...

Despite not liking the mystical and woo aspects of the old one sleeping and he will wake when blood is spilled because prophecy aspects, man, that ending was creepy. And only there because of the mystical and woo aspects, so... That being said, I really liked where this was going: we finally get...

So, I was hoping that the whole mad monk thing was just a delusion one character had, but, no, it looks like that's where this is going. Remember my Invincible Iron Man review where I talk about thresholds of things that can happen? This is hitting that and then some. You've got Carnage, Toxi...

Superpowered alien psychopath vs werewolf in a dark underground mining tunnel? Well, things just got interesting. I am actually really into this, mostly because there's a whole lot of twists and just yes! This mostly didn't make five stars for a couple reasons: I still don't like the characters...

Manny, or Manuela, was the only girl at Cletus Kasady's first kill: an all boys school. She's also the only survivor of that massacre. So when the government wants to drop and imprison Kasady, they know they have to deal with the alien symbiote called Carnage first. After all, they're living a...

They just do. They look older, they feel older, they read older. From the kinda tacky dialogue, and the unnecessary exposition, to the rather garish colors, I find myself wishing that there was more of a modern sensibility to the older comics. Silly, I know, but I just shake my head and say, 'o...
