Wolverine: Revenge #5 is not only the conclusion of the Jonathan Hickman and Greg Capro miniseries, but also the sum of the entire story. Revenge is cyclical and often leads to doom. This is not a new concept, especially when Wolverine is involved, but Revenge raised questions. How did two of the biggest talents in Marvel comics (and generally, general comics) make a book that feels average?It’s frustrating because you know Hickman can write great stories. His Fantastic Fourlan, Secret Wars, and the Clacon era of X-Men, the Ultimate Spider-Man all prove that they are well-made and charming comics that…
If the Ultimate Wolverine has a throughline, then Logan is deeply abused and unable to escape prison, a murder machine. Ultimate Wolverine #3 will be competing this week and will provide Logan with a glow of hope, but not before they hunt to kill Kitty Pryde and Gambit!Things are getting much more juicy in the ultimate Wolverine #3. Nightcrawler and Mystique may not have made it, but the mere sight of Wolverine created memories for them. The same can be said about Kitty and Gambit, who are opening up this issue in a snowstorm. They are looking for drivers, but…

The X-Men “From Ashes” era aims to bring Marvel mutants back to their core principles, and Jeffrey Thorne’s new X-Force series offers that promise. Certainly, I’m one of the X fans who’ve been tired of dropping worldbuilding since the Kracon era for a simplified superhero experience, but Tern balances the classic X-Men vibe and new twisted charm with healthy doses of breakneck action. Geoffrey Thorne Vol. 1: The fracture remains true to the charm of its same name, weaving the storytelling elements into a book that feels rather nostalgic and positive, appealing to long-time fans and newcomers.AmazingCollecting the first five…
When DC announced Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly #1, I groaned along with some, if not all. Certainly, when someone tears a really good fart joke I love it, but certainly doesn’t there enough gas in the world to really sing a 40-page special? But I began to see early reactions like this guy. And then I knew I had to get out of my path and give Harley the opportunity to loosen up and cut.And then there came a smell like boys, boys, roses.This book helps you know that it is clearly a gimmick. But then I’m reading…
A cosmic collision in Green Lantern #21 gets furious as Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner fight to protect the emotional spectrum! But their fight becomes dangerous when they face off against a malicious starbreaker who is not alone. To join forces with him is to add a layer of fractal lanterns, sadness and threats. Luckily, Hal and Kyle are not without reinforcements. Superboy and Odyssey lend us their help. But is the strength of this team’s combination enough to stop the villains from leaning scale favorably towards them? And, as lanterns are fighting in outer space, who is the prohibitive…
I’ve read Absolute Mars Manhunter #1 twice, and even after I’ve had some of it sit with me, it’s still a difficult cartoon to explain. It’s not because it’s a bad comic and it’s far from it, but it’s a weird comic. It’s strange that Jack Kirby was cooking when he created the fourth world. It’s a strange and weird thing Grant Morrison regularly dabbles in. It’s the kind of weird thing the comic needs more, and it’s the frontier where Dennis Camp and Javier Rodriguez boldly jump in.Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 begins when FBI agent John Jones gets caught…
Black Canary: Best of The Best was a fascinating view of what makes superhero ticks. When it comes to power, the low-rise heroes reveals a friendly and heartbreaking backstory. The series unleashes the complicated relationship that Black Canary, aka Dyna, has with her mother, but she is fighting in the ring, possibly to save her mother from cancer. Often, Black Canary tries to save herself in the ring, as Mrs. Shiva wants to end her forever. In the penultimate question, writer Tom King and artist Ryan are captivated by your heart.Black Canary: Best of the Best 5 mixes things up…
Peacemaker is one of those series that should not work, but it should definitely work. Chalked James Gunn, the Suicide Squad work established the foundation for exploring Christopher Smith. With Peacemaker currently preparing for a second season, DC has decided to remind people that they are potentially missing out on Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1.True to its title, the comic features two separate stories. The first “Fables Time” is falsely characterized as misconceptions of a fellow Peacemaker murder hero and self-proclaimed BFF vigilantes as falsely assuming them. Later, on a “peaceful holiday,” Peacemaker and Eaglee attempt to go…
Mrs. Baltimore and the Daughters of Medusa are the latest chapters in the Outerverse and the ongoing saga of Mike Mignora and Christopher Golden. The series is again portrayed by Bridge Connell, documenting the adventures of Sofia Bulk as she fought against the mystical powers of evil during World War II. The two previous Lady Baltimore Entry (The Dream of Witch Queens and Ikeros) allowed Connell to demonstrate the skills to make an outdated horror adventure in Palpie. Connell quickly establishes herself as a talent she sees thanks to these series, especially in that she has had the opportunity to…
