The Review at the End of the Universe
Ms Marvel (2014) #6 The bulk of the origin story is out of the way and now we get into seeing Kamala Khan moving towards becoming a fully fledged super hero. She also experiences her first team up with a marvel hero and it’s not quite who I expected. As is becoming the norm for…
Spider-Man 2099 is back in his own comic series and with Peter David writing him again that is very good news. Peter David was one of the minds responsible for creating this character back in 1992 so to have him writing the character again is great. Miguel O’Hara is still stranded in the present and…
Captain America (Vol 7) # 22 So, Captain America has lost his powers and has been aged to become and old man. I can’t see this being permanent because let’s face it, it’s comics but for now there’s plenty to be explored. Cap has very little to do at the moment other than lie in…
Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #3 Some movement on many of the major things set up in the first issue here, though not as much as I would like in some cases. Not that I mind the fact that the stories are being given lots of time to develop but given that Learning to Crawl is also…
Really late with this again this week but I’ve been up to my eyeballs in festival stuff so haven’t really had the time to put something together. Catching up now though so here it is. Silver Surfer (2014) #3 Dan Slott’s opening arc concludes in this issue and it’s a great conclusion. Dawn was superb…
Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1.2 Dan Slott’s tale Learning To Crawl continues and we gain a further insight into Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man. As I’ve said before, it really impresses me how Dan Slott can write a tale that feels just like it was written back when Stan Lee first created the character. Peter…
Action Comics (2011) #32 Doomed rages on and the momentum just doesn’t stop. Before I started reading this arc I had no idea what the plan was for it but was pumped for another potentially epic Doomsday story. I am happy to say that so far this story has surpassed my expectations of what the…
Format change again, sorry I’m trying to settle I promise. Now I’m going to be taking a small number of comics in a given week that I actually have something to say about, this might be as little as one or two but in theory the content should be a bit richer. Sadly I don’t…
Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #2 It’s felt like a long wait for this to come out, Dan Slott’s Spider-Man stories are always an absolute joy to read. It took less time than I expected for Anna Maria to find out the truth and I’m glad they didn’t let this plot line linger for too long, it…
Hello true believers, slight announcement here so read up. For pragmatic reasons I’ve decided to change this column markedly from what I’ve been doing before. My plan from now on is to do a very quick summary of the things I liked about most comics and the things that I didn’t with an overall verdict….
