Amazing Spider-Man #602 This book is just so-so. Not bad or good…it just….was. Fans of the Chameleon will enjoy this issue. I didn’t. A couple things I noticed though, in regards to the Spider-Man series in general. The first is that in this issue I found out that J. Jonah Jameson is the mayor of […]

Exiles #5 Here’s an idea, take some random mutants (and Black Panther for some reason), from alternate timelines, put them together…and have them roam through even more alternate timelines! If your first thought is, “That sounds pretty sucky.”, do not be alarmed. It only indicates that you are still sane. I’m a fan of Blink. […]

Back in the old days (mid 90’s or so), I wasn’t a big fan of Deadpool. Sure, he’s a mutant with ties to Wolverine’s origin and occasionally made appearances in the X-Books, but I always considered his books to be as close to the X-Men as Ghostrider. Now, that I’m back in, and branching out […]

Based on Greg Pak’s Planet Hulk storyline that ran through Incredible Hulk #92-105 comes the movie Planet Hulk, from Marvel’s animated division (what was their last movie? Was it Iron Man?). Despite how Aron and I felt about what came after Planet Hulk and World War Hulk (listen to our thoughts here), I enjoyed those […]
So…Ultimatum #5 came out this week from Marvel Comics, ending the first volumes of all of their Ultimate titles (Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men) and getting things ready for their relaunch as Ultimate Comics, which appears to be set in the same universe. The question is…what’s left of the universe to continue? The Ultimatum series, by […]
