Young X-Men #2
Wed, May 14th, 2008
Guggenheim and Paquette bring us the adventures of the next, possibly last generation of mutants, although all might not be as it seems as the Young X-Men try to take down the former New Mutants.
Metal Men #8
Wed, May 14th, 2008
And ambitious narrative jumble that never comes together in the end.
Infinity Inc. #9
Tue, May 13th, 2008
An ill-selling book attempts to revamp itself, but "Infinity Inc." attempts to look more like every other superhero comic on the market. It's disastrous.
The War that Time Forgot #1
Tue, May 13th, 2008
What if a bunch of forgotten genre characters ended up on Dinosaur Island?
Thunderbolts: Reason in Madness #1
Tue, May 13th, 2008
Christos Gage delivers another entertaining one-shot to fill gaps in the “Thunderbolts” schedule, this time focussing on two classic Marvel villains �" the Green Goblin and Mac “Venom/Scorpion” Gargan.
Cable #3
Mon, May 12th, 2008
Duane Swierczynski and Ariel Olivetti continue what might just be the most important story to come out of Messiah Complex -- it’s just a pity there’s not a little more story in the issue.
True Story, Swear to God #11
Mon, May 12th, 2008
Tom Beland's book is charming as always, telling the story of his real-life romance, but at times one can't help but wish that it moved a bit faster.
Casanova #14
Mon, May 12th, 2008
A special spoiler-free review of the brilliant conclusion to the "Gula" arc.
Justice League of America #20
Sun, May 11th, 2008
Possibly the first time Dwayne McDuffie's run on the book isn't editorially mandated, and which shows a hint of promise for him eventually writing his own stories.
X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead #1
Sat, May 10th, 2008
Peter David and Pablo Raimondi put Quicksilver back on the path to redemption in this X-Factor special worth a look to all X-Men and Avengers fans.
House of Mystery #1
Fri, May 9th, 2008
Part bizarre mystery, part anthology series, all Vertigo-style horror.
The Mighty Avengers #13
Fri, May 9th, 2008
Nick Fury assembles a new Howling Commandos team, and they look a bit, well, young. Bendis and Maleev deliver another fantastic "Secret Invasion" tie-in, delivering on their reputation as a superstar team.
The Invincible Iron Man #1
Thu, May 8th, 2008
Marvel's big new "Iron Man" series is a welcome return to form for the character of Tony Stark. This is Matt Fraction's best Marvel writing to date for a very high profile title.
Pearls Before Swine: The Crass Menagerie
Thu, May 8th, 2008
A collection of "Pearls Before Swine" is fun in its own right, but the annotations and extras from Stephan Pastis push this into must-own territory.
Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1
Wed, May 7th, 2008
The still artwork matches the stiff dialogue in this slow first issue.
Secret Invasion #2
Wed, May 7th, 2008
A T-Rex, the return of an old favorite, and a great final image make this better than your average alien invasion series.
Ultimate Human #4
Tue, May 6th, 2008
It’s Iron Man versus Hulk versus the Leader as Warren Ellis proves where his reputation as one of the modern greats comes from, even if the story’s resolution does feel a little truncated.
Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula #1
Tue, May 6th, 2008
The Black Tarantula crawls into the spotlight in a one-shot that reads like classic "Daredevil."
Teen Titans #58
Mon, May 5th, 2008
Sean McKeever's emphasis on character makes this worth a look.
Gargoyles: Bad Guys #2
Mon, May 5th, 2008
Another disappointing installment in the canon of Gargoyles comics. The spotlight is on disgraced Japanese Gargoyle Yama, and how he came to join the Redemption Squad.
X-Men: Legacy #210
Mon, May 5th, 2008
"X-Men: Legacy" emerges as perhaps the most focused of the post-Messiah Complex X-titles. Greg Land occupies the guest-art slot as Carey wraps up the redefinition of the title as a Professor Xavier solo-title.
The Order #10
Sun, May 4th, 2008
Thus, Matt Fraction's could-have-been-"The-Champions"-series comes to a close.
