The Review at the End of the Universe
Issue #9 Spider-Verse comes to The Amazing Spider-Man and it hits the ground running. The main universe (hereafter referred to as 616 as that’s the universe he inhabits) Peter Parker is drawn into a pitched battle involving different incarnations of himself from alternate universes and learns of Morlun’s plan. Event comics have come a long…
Issue #8 Adventures in Babysitting After the uneven setup in the previous issue of The Amazing Spider-Man this story really hits the ground running and lands us right in the middle of the action. The final preamble to Spider-Verse also comes here. I’d been looking forward to seeing a team-up between Spider-Man and the new Ms…
Issue 4 This event was announced quite some time ago and it has taken a while to build to this point. To my mind it was fairly obvious once I learned that Wolverine had lost his healing factor. It’s no bad thing to take some time to celebrate the character and remind readers of why…
Issue 7 Despite the fact that Wolverine’s demise was a week away at the time of this comic being released the X-Men tie in titles are getting a head start on eulogising Wolverine. Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler and Wolverine were very good friends ever since they first started working together in Giant Size X-Men #1,…
Issue #7 Some interesting things raised in this issue. For the first time since Peter has returned to his own body he has acknowledged that Doc Ock’s methods were effective. Anna Maria calls Peter out on his sense of responsibility and suggests that great responsibility doesn’t mean all of the responsibility. She reminds him that…
Issue 25 The title of this issue makes me laugh: “Who is the New Captain America?” isn’t going to be a surprise to most people given that Marvel has been marketing Sam Wilson aka Falcon wielding the shield for a few weeks now. It seems to be a time of huge changes in Marvel comics…
Issue 35 First DC review -on this website anyway- but I thought with Arrow beginning the third season this week I’d see what he’s up to on the printed page. I haven’t done that with The Flash who debuts this week on TV but that’s possibly because there wasn’t a main series Flash comic out…
Issue 1 In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks it was announced a few weeks ago that everyone’s favourite long haired Thunder God was going to be replaced by a female. This was not to be Thor turning into a woman or anything crazy like that but a whole…
Issue 4 – “I Walked With A Spider” Bit of a departure from what might be expected in this Edge of Spider-Verse. Up until this point we’ve been looking at variations of a hero with spider powers -oddly only one of them has been a Peter Parker so far- but this time we follow someone…
Issue 1.5 After what feels like forever we finally get the conclusion to The Amazing Spider-Man arc “Learning to Crawl” which rounds out the untold story of Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man. Throughout this story Peter has been having trouble growing into his powers as well as dealing with the guilt he’s been feeling…
