CAPTAIN AMERICA: TRUTH review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMarch 6, 20250Comments

CAPTAIN AMERICA: TRUTH Paperback by Robert Morales (Author), Kyle Baker (Illustrator), Joe Quesada (Cover Art) This book is something people need to read. When it first came out, Morales and Baker's Captain America: Red White and Black was controversial for the very reason it existed. Before the cynical changes to flagship characters the past…

Captain America / Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMarch 6, 20250Comments

Captain America / Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers Paperback by Denys Cowan (Author), Reginald Hudlin (Author) The idea behind Marvel's Black Panther was a fascinating "What If" had any parts of Africa never been colonised. Sadly, reality tells us otherwise. Suffice to say America's interests in Africa were never particularly stellar. Just look…

Captain America #193-#200 review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 21, 20220Comments

"Comics were better when they left politics out" My question is... When was that? It is truly weird when a comic from the 70s (Captain America #193-#200 from 1975) resonates with the specific circumstances most of the world finds itself in, where the elite run the show exploiting the divisions of the world beneath them. In a…

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…

Ed Brubaker’s Captain America review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 19, 20200Comments

How do you humanise an ideal? The burden of a legacy? How do you come back from loss? When dreams shatter and keep on shattering? How do you recover from rock bottom when you have burdens to bear? This is a truly iconic run by Captain America; it is almost a cliche that we use…
