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…
Seems Wolverine is really busy, with being part of a whole group of teams and being revamped every few issues, so here we have another new series. The writing chores are in the capable hands of Jason Aaron which pictures Wolverine investigating a secret agency who is dabbling in the Weapon X experiment. The adequate…
When I was young I actually read some of the old Dan Dare comics so I have some background and the feel of comics on this English character. This is appropriately handled by Garth Ennis and Gary Erskine. Garth Ennis does not try to modernize the main character of this comic, known as the pilot…
Another project entrusted to the capable hands of Ed Brubaker. This time his task is to retell the secret historical origins of the Marvel Universe.

Although I read all kinds of comics, the type of stories and artwork presented in this comic is usually not my favourite but I have been hearing so many good reviews that I had to give it a try. Is this book really worth all the praise and hype the critics are giving it? Oh…
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.…

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…
Mark Millar gives us another take on Wolverine after his run on "Wolverine: Enemy of the State" but this time he teams up again with partner in crime of the monumental "Civil War", artist Steve McNiven. He transports us 50 years in the future where a morally broken down Logan is a farmer in a…
This week I am going to review something different, an ongoing web comic which is part of this new trend of comic making. This one is from one of our friends from Facebook - Agimat Comics. Shadow Candy is an all ages, family oriented manga story that follows the adventures of a white clad ninja…
This novel truly gets you hooked to it. Yet, it is a different kind of graphic novel, which takes us through the ups and downs of an alcoholic, struggling writer, Jonathan A. Although this is his first time on comic territory, author Jonathan Ames succeeds in presenting us with a realistic fictional character that has…
Siege is the main Marvel event of the year. This is Marvel history in the making. This new dawn of the Marvel heroes was expected given the events taking place in the last few years. Brian Michael Bendis presents the crazy Norman Osborn, who orders a full attack on Asgard. Consequently, the heroes unite under…

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,…
