Multiversity review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsNovember 4, 20200Comments

Very few authors write high, abstract concepts in such a concrete and fun yet mind-blasting way as Grant Morrison. Purely an anthology series at first sight connected by a major crisis across the multiverse jeopardizing ALL of comics (if not fiction) in the most literal way possible in a manner only Grant Morrison can write,…

Ghost Rider by Daniel Way, Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira – review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsSeptember 13, 20200Comments

Say what you will, but Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira are probably among the best (if not THE best) artists who bring out the best in the Spirit of Vengeance - probably second only to Clayton Crain. Artistic duties aside, this volume is probably the last truly and genuinely decent run the Spirit…

Green Lantern : Earth One – Vol 1

Comics, ReviewsAugust 23, 20200Comments

The Earth One initiative by DC Comics is a revamp of familiar characters taking them back to their basic concept and rebuilding them from the ground up. Oftentimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Green Lantern: Earth One is one of the former. As a long time Green Lantern fan, I must admit I was rather…

Magneto: Testament review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsAugust 21, 20200Comments

If you have grown up with the X-Men as I did, you probably know what an overwhelming force of nature Magneto is and what a complex villain he makes.
