Secret Wars #7 Review (2015)
Readers may have been a bit down after the last issue. The previous edition was centered more around background information, recap, and behind the scenes surmising to the narrative.

Now that fans have moved past the climatic issue, does this installment prove to be more action-packed? Is this issue more exciting than the last? Are fans finally going to see the beginning of the end of God-Doom? Let’s Continue reading Secret Wars #7 Review (2015)

HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X #1-6 Review
Overall, this series was clever, intriguing, thought-provoking, and full of imagination. Jonathan Hickman continues to prove time and again what strategical planning, precision, and organization can do for any writer, creator, or architect of any story. It’s something that numerous authors just aren’t doing in today’s market. Several current writers appear to be winging it, changing stories on the fly, and using social media, podcasts, and interviews to explain their stories. If not that approach, the other avenue explored by many modern writers is to make ambiguous stories that can be interpreted or deciphered in an assortment of ways. It gives rise to the creator appearing as intelligent, masterful, and imaginative. However, it’s actually quite the opposite AND it makes readers feel stupid. Continue reading HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X #1-6 Review
