John Byrne’s Avengers West Coast: Darker than Scarlet review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsDecember 17, 20210Comments

Almost undoubtedly where the current phase of the MCU is heading, John Byrne's Avengers West Coast: Darker than Scarlet presents the downfall of Wanda Maximoff. This will not be the first or the last time that her downward spiral is even touched upon - it is almost a trope in itself by now - but…

Avengers: Nights of Wundagore review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJuly 14, 20210Comments

The classic tale "Nights of Wundagore" by John Byrne, David Michelinie, Mark Gruenwald and Steven Grant is a strange read in Avengers history, in that it exists between an approach of treating the Avengers as an organisation of like-minded individuals while also humanising them in ways that are believable and not too over simplistic. The…

Avengers: Under Siege review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJuly 2, 20210Comments

Although it is a very straightforward and standard tale in comparison to its peers, 1986's Avengers Under Siege storyline (Avengers #270-277) represented a reality of terrorist activity that was not unheard of during the 80s. At heart, that is what it is - a terrorist takeover of an important institution. Perhaps it represented an escapist…

The Avengers – Kree/Skrull War review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsApril 3, 20210Comments

One of the original "event comics", the Kree-Skrull war penned by Roy Thomas and the rotating art team of John and Sal Buscema and the spectacular Neal Adams, is however not an easy read. Roy Thomas's deeply melodramatic writing is very much of its time, very much bombastic and over the top, but to me that…

Avengers: Rage of Ultron review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 14, 20210Comments

I have been waiting for a book like Rage of Ultron for a long, long time. Aside from the stellar, anatomically pleasant and dynamic artwork by Jerome Opena and Pepe Larraz, and aside from the poignant writing by Rick Remender, I felt part of the story. I am not an objective reviewer by any extent of the…

JLA/Avengers review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 9, 20210Comments

Although the narrative is relatively simplistic - two factions caught in a game brought about by two gambling entities from opposing universes - Kurt Busiek and George Perez's JLA/Avengers four-issue miniseries delivers a crossover between the DC and Marvel universe in a way the actual DC versus Marvel failed to deliver. While the latter was…

Marvel’s Avengers – gameplay as mighty as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! (Marvel’s Avengers Gameplay Review by the Maltese Geek)

Games, ReviewsAugust 26, 20190Comments

Square Enix's upcoming Avengers game has been shrouded in mystery (and quite often, scepticism) for quite a while. The gameplay demo was constantly shown behind closed doors during certain events (E3, SDCC, etc.) and leaks were constantly popping up on different social media platforms. Less than a week ago, Square Enix finally released the…

Avengers: Endgame Movie Review by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsMay 18, 20190Comments

Avengers: Endgame (2019) is a cathartic experience. It is certainly not as speculator friendly as its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) which I believe stood on its own merits even if one would appreciate it further when having followed the MCU since its inception. The latest, however, does not have this in its favor and…
