The Review at the End of the Universe
Issue #3 At the end of the previous issue Tony Stark used Extremis to cure Daredevil of his blindness in an attempt to tempt him to come round to his way of thinking. The first page is really effective at conveying Matt Murdock regaining his sight. It starts off with complete darkness in the first…
Issue #11 Spider-Verse rages on in The Amazing Spider-Man #11 with more subgroups splitting off from the whole to accomplish various missions. I’ve had a bit of a hiatus from comic writing lately due to lack of time and lack of anything worthwhile to say but I’m making up for it this week with 2 reviews….
Issue #1 All New Captain America is the first solo outing for Sam Wilson -formerly Falcon- as Captain America. Quick catch up for those who don’t know: Sam Wilson has inherited the title and the shield from former Captain America Steve Rogers who has been aged to a very old man after losing his super…
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…
Superior Spider-Man #33 In this issue of Edge of Spider-Verse The Superior Spider-Man continues his campaign to investigate the mysterious force that’s killing his counterparts from other universes. Playing out mostly as an action piece, the army of Spider-Men led by Ock’s Superior Spider-Man are closing in on information surrounding the threat that faces them…
Issue 2 Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman Rarely does a comic book live up to the extensive hype it receives. On the internet and social media Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman has been eagerly anticipated by a lot of people so the gauntlet was well and truly laid down long before release here. Given that this comic is only…
Issue 1 – Spider-Man Noir My first experience with Spider-Man Noir was in the video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions where he was a playable character. The conceit of this version is that he exists in an alternate 1930s depression era New York where crime runs rampant. Spider-Man’s costume is appropriately darker to suit the darker…
Issue 6 I said in my review of the last issue of The Amazing Spider-Man that the cliffhanger would be some form of red herring and as expected that was exactly what it was. We’ve had innumerable unmasking scares over this character’s long history and they’ve never really been worthwhile. It’s a bit of a…
