Dark Reign: Dark Wolverine #76 Review
by
Marvel Writers: Daniel Way, Marjorie Liu Pencils: Giuseppe Camuncoli Inks: Onofrio Catacchio Daken continues to prove that he’s not the genuine Wolverine, he’s just a very naughty boy, as he playfully manipulates Norman Osborn, Hawkeye/Bullseye and the Fantastic Four to his advantage. ‘The Prince’ is an example of a pretty average comic plot held together…

Justice Society of America #29 Review
by
DC Writer: Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges Art: Jesus Merino Colours: Allen Passalaqua As proudly stated across the cover, a new creative team marks a new start for Justice Society of America.

Batman Reborn: Gotham City Sirens #2 Review
by
DC Writer: Paul Dini Art: Guillem March Colours: Jose Villarrubia Given the overall exceptional quality of the various titles contained within the Batman Reborn label, there had to be at least one stinker.

The perceptible atrophy of Osborn’s…

Batman Reborn: Batman #688 Comic Review
by
DC Writer: Judd Winick Pencils: Mark Bagley Inks: Rob Hunter Colours: Ian Hannin Whereas last month’s issue of Batman saw Dick Grayson accept his role as Wayne’s successor, this month we see Gotham’s underworld react to the new, media-friendly Dark Knight; more specifically Penguin and Two-Face, the later of whom isn’t convinced by the Bat-impostor.…

Batman Reborn: Batman and Robin #2 Review
by
DC Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Frank Quitely Colours: Alex Sinclair Grant Morrison’s bizarre retro romp continues with a brutal assault on Gotham’s finest by Le Cirque D’etrange, who live up to their name in every way possible. It also hints at another consequence of Dick Grayson assuming the cape and cowl; how long will it…

Secret Invasion TPB Review
by
2008, Marvel Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Leinil Francis Yu Inks: Mark Morales Colours: Laura Martin, Emily Warren “Who do you trust?” The Marvel Universe is a wonderfully eclectic creative landscape. For every cinema-friendly hero such as Spider-man, Daredevil or Silver Surfer there’s a Howard the Duck, Shang-Chi or Man-thing; delightful oddball creations that jar…
