Back in the day, CrossGen took on the herculean task of reinventing comics by publishing something other than standard superhero fare. Lead by the creative team of Barbara Kesel, Mark Waid and Ron Marz, CrossGen released comics based in science fiction, Victorian detective, and even samurai adventur...
Okay, this lost a star for being a large amount of setup for what's to come, but don't let that give lie to my thoughts - this was an entertaining, fun book and I was super glad I read it, and I'm excited to read more. But since it is a first book and it does have to introduce us to these characters...
Reprinting NIGHTWING #46-50 and material from NIGHTWING 80-PAGE GIANT #1 and NIGHTWING SECRET FILES! The Chuck Dixon run of Nightwing was one of my favorites.
Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Quite a bit of meh to my feelings. When did the chick who engineered Extremis become a good guy? I missed something, didn't I? Somebody tell me what I missed!Tony tracks down Extremis kits that have been sold to various villains and even to some not-so-bad guys.The Ki...
Mixed feelings. On one hand, I do appreciate that the storyline is self contained. It starts here, and it's over with here. You don't need much canon background, other than a passing knowledge of Extremis. I already had that, but you could probably pick up everything you needed to know from this col...
This is my first go at any of the new Marvel Now titles, and I can't say I was all that impressed. The story revolves around Extremis, which seems to be all that Iron Man is about in 2013 and I'm just going to guess that that has something do with Iron Man 3. The story in this volume was just pretty...
Read in single issues.I expected Greg Land's art to be a problem, and it was. I didn't expect Kieron Gillen's writing to be a problem, but it was.The best writing in the world would struggle against Land's art, with its squinty-eyed men, its complete inability to depict any convincing human express...
Four stars mostly for Babs. It's her personality that's really gotten me hooked on Birds of Prey. Of course, her growing friendship with Dinah is a key component to the series. I can't say much for the actual plots. They're mostly serviceable, outstanding neither for their quality or lack thereof. M...
I think this is one of the strongest collections in the entire UFF run. The first story focuses on Ben Grimm, something the series had done woefully little of, and the result is a really touching story that gets to the heart of what superhero comics are all about - strength, personal values and the ...
