I always compared Spawn to a demonized Batman, so after I saw the cover of the Haunt, a demonized Spider-man came to my mind. Robert Kirkman wanted to collaborate with Todd McFarlane and with the help of Greg Capullo and Ryan Ottley this is the result. The story focuses on two brothers, a non perfect…

Batman: Cacophony (HC)

I am not a die hard fan of Kevin Smith but I enjoyed most of his comics" related work. When I started reading this Hard Cover, I did not have the least idea what to expect as this was not a main character re-launch just like Daredevil and Green Arrow but a simple limited series.…

Punisher Max (Issues 1-5)

The Good - Cinematic Dave Johnson"s covers, Steve Dillon"s return on the Punisher and Jason Aaron"s amalgamation of Garth Ennis"s two versions of the Punisher. I was surprised that writer Jason Aaron succeeded in combining the dark humour element found in the Marvel Knights" Punisher and the serious element presented in the previous Punisher Max…

Incognito (Tpb)

Ed Brubaker was born to write these kinds of comics. Although he is doing a superb job on the Captain America regular series, Incognito is one of his gems. The anti-hero of the comic is an ex-villain that tries to fit with difficulty, in a normal life, after joining the witness-protection program. Ed Brubaker"s writing,…
