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…

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…
I have read Nemesis, another Mark Millar violent ride and survived! When I leafed through the comics I thought this was going to be a quick read as I saw various sizes of action panels with few speech balloons. When I started reading I was not expecting that each turn of the page was so…
