X-Terminators #3 continues the world’s weirdest Girls’ Night Out with more glass-breaking, vampire-killing, boob-punching(?) action than you’d ever expect in a single comic. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you. Is It Good? X-Terminators #3 doesn’t make any sense. Admittedly, it probably isn’t supposed to, nor do I think any of the creators care if it does or doesn’t. It’s loud, obnoxious, irreverent … Continue reading X-Terminators #3 Review

Captain America: Symbol of Truth #7 begins Sam Wilson’s journey into international peacekeeper when he decides to fight a Civil War on foreign soil.

Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel #5 ends the limited series with a final confrontation that pits Genis-Vell against Shatterax while Life and Death hang in the balance… literally. Is It Good? Meh. Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel #5 is fine. Rather than end the end with a big spectacle and fist-pumping moments, Peter David opted to take a meta path, resulting in a subdued ending that isn’t as profound … Continue reading Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel #5 Review

Doctor: Strange: Fall Sunrise #1 takes a trip (literally and metaphorically) to a limbo beyond our own world where Doctor Strange fights to recall his purpose and survive. Is It Good? Trippy!

Namor: Conquered Shores #2 shines a ray of hope for the humans living in a power-starved refuge under the ocean as the arrival of Jim Hammond, aka the original Human Torch, presents a solution, a mystery, and a possible threat.

Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #5 continues the Game of Rings but takes a brief break for a fireside story to reveal how the Ten Rings came to be. Is It Good? Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings #5 reveals the history behind the creation of the Ten Rings. That reveal, alone, makes this issue an interesting read, but two questions immediately come to mind.
