Amazing Spider-man #592 Comic Review
by
Marvel Writer: Mark Waid Pencils: Mike McKone Inks: Andy Lanning Colours: Jeromy Cox After a bout of entertaining nonsense in the Macroverse with the Fantastic Four, it’s nice to see Spidey back on familiar ground. A lot has happened in the two months he’s been gone. Primarily, J. Jonah Jameson has been elected mayor of…

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…

by
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 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…

Silver Surfer: Requiem Review
by
2008, Marvel Knights Writer: J. Michael Straczynski Artist: Esad Ribic Could there be a more hippyish comic book creation than the Silver Surfer? A metallic dude who surfs the cosmos, refusing to cover his androgynous shame lest it cramp his streamline style. The Fabulous Freak Brothers have nothing on Norrin Radd. While popular culture has…

Samuel Jackson Nick Fury unlikely for Avengers Film
by
When Marvel announced its plans for the Avengers movie tie-in event, comic book fanboys, pseudo cinephiles, unemployed journalists and their grandmothers all simultaneously entered a stage of zealous crystal ball polishing. Will the Hulk be a member? How will they integrate Thor? Surely Robert Downey Junior will be back? And so on… Well, it seems…
