Vacation Is Over Guys (Guardians of the Galaxy #1 Review)

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 Writer: Al Ewing: Artist: Juann Cabal Colorist: Federico Blee Letterer: Cory Petit Publisher: Marvel Rating: 9/10 So here we are with yet another relaunch from Marvel. Last month saw the conclusion of Donny Cates' short run on the title, and Marvel wasted no time starting over. Where normally I would be annoyed at the thought of yet another relaunch, I was very excited at the thought of Al Ewing taking over. Ewing has been writing one of the best bo

The Violence of Nature (X-Force #5 Review)

X-FORCE #5 Writer: Ben Percy Artist: Joshua Cassara Colorists: Dean White & Rachelle Rosenberg Letterer: Joe Caramagna Publisher: Marvel Rating: 8/10 Ok since we're 5 issues in, and this is the first time I've reviewed this book, I'm gonna talk a little bit about how much this series has grown on me. When the first issue dropped it wasn't exactly my favorite X-book. While it was good, it just didn't captivate me the way some of the other books did. But over the course of thes

Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #2 (Review)

SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN ALIEN REALITY #2 Writer: Peter David Penciler: Greg Land Inker: Jay Leisten Colorist: Frank D'armata Letterer: Joe Sabino Publisher: Marvel Score: 7.5/10 Although I find myself mostly being disappointed by the main Spider-Man title, Amazing Spider-Man, I do commend Marvel for having a range of Spider-Man series that appeal to different readers. Spider-Man is actually a hard character to write and appeal to the majority of readers because I've found that re

It's A New Dawn, So Get Out Of Our Way(X-Men #4 Review)

X-MEN #4 Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Leinil Francis Yu Inker: Gerry Alanguilan Colorist: Sunny Gho Letterer: Clayton Cowles Publisher: Marvel Rating: 10/10 This series continues to be one of the best comics being published today. What Hickman has bee able to accomplish in such a short amount of time is not only impressive, but it could serve as a lesson on how to breathe life back into a franchise. Along with Leinil Francis Yu, he has put out (in my opinion) 4 perfect is

Daredevil #16 (Review)

DAREDEVIL #16 Writer: Chip Zdarsky Artist: Jorge Fornes Colorist: Nolan Woodard Letterer: Clayton Cowles Publisher: Marvel Rating: 9/10 Zdarsky's run on Daredevil has been fantastic for the last 15 issues and this week's latest release is another solid entry. There are times when I do feel like the overall narrative is dragging on a bit but just when I feel like it may be an issue, Zdarsky adds another variable (Elektra) or dishes out an action packed issue that brings right

You Can't Keep A Good Jedi Down (Star Wars #1 Review)

STAR WARS #1 Writer: Charles Soule Artist: Jesus Saiz Colorist: Jesus Saiz; Arif Prianto Letterer: Clayton Cowles Publisher: Marvel Rating: 8/10 With so much Star Wars talk flooding the world of fandom ( Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian) dividing fans, it's nice to be able to escape back to the era of Star Wars I love so much, the original trilogy. While I haven't been following the Star Wars books recently, I thought this was the perfect time to jump back in. "Empire St

Hawkeye: Freefall #1 (Review)

HAWKEYE: FREEFALL #1 Writer: Mathew Rosenberg Art: Otto Schmidt Letterer: Joe Sabino Publisher: Marvel Rating: 7.5/10 I was actually looking forward to this new series quite a bit as I really enjoyed the Tales of Suspense: Hawkeye & The Winter Soldier mini series that Rosenberg had written previously. This felt like it would be a natural extension of that series but unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to my expectations. The issue opens up with Clint infiltrating a weapon

What Is The Black Winter? (Thor #1 Review)

THOR #1 Writer: Donny Cates Artist: Nic Klein Colorist: Matthew Wilson Letterer: Joe Sabino Publisher: Marvel Rating: 9/10 How does one follow the great run that Jason Aaron literally just finished a couple weeks ago? Who's crazy enough to even attempt that? The answers... Just like this and Donny Cates. While I'm a huge Cates fan and I long thought, that if anyone should succeed Aaron on Thor it should be him, I was still skeptical. Not that he would do a good job, which he

Awesome! A lot of crazy shit has been happening in Eddie Brock's life and it's all because of an evil genius, Donny Cates.

Dr Strange: Surgeon Supreme #1 (Review)

DR. STRANGE: SURGEON SUPREME #1 Writer: Mark Waid Artist:: Kev Walker Colorist: Java Tartaglia Letterer: Cory Petit Publisher: Marvel Rating: 7.5/10 I was a big fan of Mark Waid's last Dr. Strange run so I have been anticipating this follow up series in the months leading up to the first issue's release. I did think the last run started off a bit shaky with Strange losing his powers at the beginning for the 800th time but Waid quickly brought me back around a few issues in an
