Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #12 begins the fight to enter Dimension Z when Captains America, Sharon Carter, and Misty Knight fight their way to the only portal open to save Ian. Is It Good? If you haven’t heard the news, this series will be ending in July 2023, so that means we have two more issues to go before Captain America goes on a … Continue reading Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #12 Review

Fantastic Four #7 brings Marvel’s first superhero family to Aunt Petunia’s farmhouse for a little R&R when Doctor Doom shows up with a special mission in mind. Is It Good? Fantastic Four #7 is odd.

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 finds the gang dropping in on a territorial war to warn everyone to leave before Grootfall arrives to wipe everyone out. Is It Good?

Hulk Annual #1 (2023) takes a side trip to a side trip in New Mexico with a documentary film crew hoping to catch a glimpse of Marvel’s not-so-jolly green giant. Is It Good? Hulk Annual #1 (2023) is an interesting one-shot story from David Prepose starring a documentary film crew and real-life creator, Rylend Grant.

Planet of the Apes #2 finds the chaos of a global pandemic creating fear and destruction when the Exercitus Viri wages a global campaign to wipe out all apes and the humans who protect them. Is It Good? I was especially hard on David F. Walker in the review for issue #1, and rightfully so. When you have a 60-year-old franchise to draw inspiration from, … Continue reading Planet of the Apes #2 Review

She-Hulk #13 throws a monkey wrench into Jennifer Walters’s love life when the enigmatic thief she’s been tracking turns the charm meter up to 11. Is It Good? Aaaand, we’re back to the slice-of-life romance comic, again. I’ll give Rainbow Rowel credit for having the aptitude to explore multiple genres, but it’s not common to see multiple genres explored in the same title. At the … Continue reading She-Hulk #13 Review

Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #3 continues the fight to stop Carnage 2099 and Halloween Jack from inciting a mob riot that consumes Nueva York. Is It Good? Why is Punisher 2099 on the cover? He doesn’t show up once in this comic nor is he referenced in any way. If you bought this comic expecting Punisher 2099 to show up, guns a-blazin’, you’ve been duped, … Continue reading Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #3 Review

Cosmic Ghost Rider #3 pits Valkyrie against (the evil) Cosmic Ghost Rider to stop a killing spree spreading across nearly every sector of the Galaxy. Is It Good? Cosmic Ghost Rider #3 is fine. Honestly, that’s all you can really say about it. Filled with excellent art, decent pacing and dialog, and mildly engaging action, Cosmic Ghost Rider #3 is a very middle-of-the-road issue. When … Continue reading Cosmic Ghost Rider #3 Review

Daredevil #11 finds Matt Murdock forced to accept that his friends are either dead or in prison and his grand experiment with the Fist has failed. When a Daredevil has nothing left to lose outside himself, there’s only one deal left to make. Is It Good? I’ll give Chip Zdarsky a heap of credit.

Silk #1 (2023) finds Cindy Moon acting as a private detective in 1940s Los Angeles to rescue kidnapped children who fell victim to a mob-run trafficking ring. Is It Good?

I don’t know why Marvel doesn’t just commit to an ongoing rather that restarting … Continue reading Silk #1 (2023) Review

Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #2 begins the next round of 2099 character reinvention bingo as Miguel O’Hara finds healing help from an unlikely source – the self-aware, flesh-eating zombie known as Blade 2099. Is It Good? Well, at least Orlando is doing a better job of incorporating Miguel this time. My biggest criticism of the last mini-series (also by Steve Orlando) is that the run … Continue reading Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis #2 Review

Moon Knight #23 teams the Fist of Khonshu with the current bearer of the first Spider-Man symbiote to take down a hypnotic sound engineer. Is It Good? Moon Knight #23 should be more fun than it is.

Is It Good? Captain America: Symbol of Truth #12 is an okay but forgettable comic. Good … Continue reading Captain America: Symbol of Truth #12 Review

Clobberin’ Time #2 finds Bewn Grimm giving a guest lecture on Krakoa when the time-space thief pops up to steal a uniquely Krakoan beverage. Is It Good? Any writer worth their salt will tell you humor is hard, and finding a writer who can pull off humor in comics is as rare as finding Bigfoot wandering around a city mall, so count your blessings when … Continue reading Clobberin’ Time #2 Review
