Punisher: Franken-Castle (Tpb)

During a main Marvel event the Punisher was chopped to pieces. The Punisher was dead! Rick Remender revived him by bringing him back to life the Frankenstein way. Long live Franken-Castle as this is how this controversial run started! Sometimes we, die-hard comic book fans are so fond of these characters that when something like…

Green Lantern: Rebirth (Tpb)

This has to stop! I am becoming addicted to Geoff Johns' writing. As well said in Brad Meltzer's introduction, this rebirth could have been done the easy way out but an impressive new beginning is told. Hal Jordan fell from grace and he died a villain. He did not gather any fans through being the…

Batman: Heart of Hush (Tpb)

This is what I call a great continuation to the excellent Hush storyline which originated from the pen of Jeph Loeb and pencils of Jim Lee. What makes it even exceptional is the fact that different creators are exploring the history and character of the main villain, Thomas Elliot. Paul Dini succeeds in nailing down…

The said veteran writers are ex-editor-in-chief Tom DeFalco and Howard Mackie. Artist Todd Nauck"s artwork transports…

This leads to the new coming writer, Nick Spencer that has become quite popular in recent months. This collection is of the 1st 6 issues of the series.…

Finally, I have succeeded in completing this collection (although I still need to buy the latest edition which is due to come out soon). Asterix, Obelix and the numerous characters…

I am an Avenger (5 issue Ltd. Series)

Some years ago, Marvel comics had an ongoing series named Marvel Comics Presents which featured short stories with different characters, rendered by various artists and writers. This comic seems to be something similar but focused on the popular Avengers. The fun of reading this limited series is the opportunity to admire some favorite creators/characters and…

These issues feature the much publicized death of one of the Fantastic Four. I will not reveal whose death it is, although anyone that followed the internet during the last few weeks will surely know. Many collectors will certainly buy this comic since it is a milestone event but I have been collecting Marvel"s first…
