Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #8 brings the mind-wiped allies of Captain America back together to assess AIM’s attack on NYC and figure out where their memories went. Is It Good?

Fantastic Four #3 follows Johnny Storm on a solo adventure to save retail workers from an unfair boss. Meanwhile, the incident in NYC remains a mystery… until the next issue. Is It Good? Oy!

How is a gaggle of mutants going to get home when they’re locked in an impenetrable cage somewhere in space? Is It Good? Let’s make a deal. I’m a reasonable reviewer, and you’re a reasonable reader of comics. I propose we rename X-Terminators to X-Bimbos. The X-writers get what they … Continue reading X-Terminators #4 Review

Black Panther #12 unveils the grand conspiracy behind Jhai’s “resurrection” when T’Challa is faced with the consequences of his decisions as king. Is It Good? Black Panther #12 has, once again, devolved into the “let’s berate T’Challa as much as the page space will allow” story from John Ridley.

Alien #4 finds the Steel Team moving from one bad situation to a much worse situation when the Scavenger’s betrayal takes a heavy toll, and one Scavenger pays a terrible price for snooping. Is It Good? Alien #4 moves the plot from what was a fairly straightforward take on Aliens (1986) into a straightforward take on Alien: Resurrection (1997). Nothing good comes from human/Xenomorph hybrids. Nothing! When last we … Continue reading Alien #4 Review

Sabretooth & the Exiles #2 brings the reluctant team of mutants to the next Orchis station in a bid to stop Dr. Barrington’s vile experiments and rescue Orphan-Maker before the world goes Kablooey! Is It Good? Sabretooth & the Exiles #2 is just okay. There aren’t any particularly exciting developments, and the plot is almost a redux of issue #1. The writing and art are … Continue reading Sabretooth & the Exiles #2 Review
