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…
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…
So is this what happened to Peter Parker, between the panels depicted in Amazing Fantasy 15, the moment that he got bitten from the radioactive spider up to the eve of his uncle"s death? Here we get a glimpse of Spider-man the wrestler, as he deals with typical teenage drama, fame, money and girls before…
I was never a fan of the Legion of Super-heroes. Just read the odd comic now and then as there was too much baggage with their comic history. On top of that I did not like Grant Morrison's Final Crisis as I found it too confusing especially if one is not an avid reader of…
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…
After years disassembling and rebuilding certain corners of the Marvel universe, Brian Michael Bendis is back writing a creator owned comic. I have been a fan of his earlier noir fiction crime comics, so I was looking forward for something in the same line. A cinematic oriented approach was used for the story"s layout but…
This is sort of a "What if?" comic, pertaining to the infamous Spider-man clone saga run. It mirrors a version of what the writers would have written if they could rewrite history all over again having total editorial control. The said veteran writers are ex-editor-in-chief Tom DeFalco and Howard Mackie. Artist Todd Nauck"s artwork transports…
What is the hype surrounding this series? The art by Joe Eisma is simple but effective. The Covers by Rodin Esquejo are quite cool and eye catching. 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.…
I was hesitant to buy another X-Force book again, but his was written by fan favourite Rick Remender. I had not read anything by this writer yet put was aware that he was making ripples in the comic"s scene. The titular group is lead by Wolverine and is a group of dark heroes that will…
This week I am reviewing something different! Now this is a personal favourite and it has always been my ambition to collect all the volumes. 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…
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…
