Dark Reign: Wolverine Origins #35 Review
by
Writer: Daniel Way Pencils: Doug Braithwaite Inks: Bill Reinhold, Cam Smith, Paul Neary Colours: Art Lyon, Andy Troy I’d hardly be going out on a limb to say that Daken isn’t quite the fan favourite his father is, or the antagonist Marvel wishes for. We’ve yet to see the character do or say one remotely…

Dark Reign: Dark Avengers #4 Comic Review
by
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Art: Mike Deodato Colours: Rain Beredo When the Dark Avengers series was first announced, its title struck me as a little odd. Darth Vader and Sith Lord company aside, modern antagonists rarely view themselves as actual villains. Doctor Doom, Lex Luthor and Magneto all proclaim to have humanity’s best interests at…

Writer: Ed Brubaker Artists: Michael Lark, John Lucas, Stefano Gaudiano Colourist: Matt Hollingsworth Wilson Fisk is back in town and already the body count is sky high; though so far the bodies being counted are predominantly his own men.

The Justice Society is a family of crimefighters old and new, while the X-Men banded together as fellow outcasts. Even the members…

The Amazing Spider-man #589 Comic Review
by
Marvel Writer: Fred Van Lente Pencils: Paulo Siqueira Inks: Amilton Santos Colours: Jeremy Cox With Brand New Day and Character Assassination out of the way, the now thrice-monthly Spider-man is back to battling goofball villains of the week, each more embarrassing than the next. The Spot, a ridiculous looking adversary who resembles a human Dalmatian…

Daredevil #117 Comic Book Review
by
Writer: Ed Brubaker Artists: Michael Lark, Stefano Gaudiano Colours: Matt Hollingsworth One of the problems superhero comics have in maintaining long-term reader interest is that nothing really changes. Just as we know that Bruce Wayne will eventually reprise the role of Batman and Spider-man will one day reunite with Mary Jane, it’s hardly surprising that…
