Well, here’s another sentence I didn’t think I would ever write: I just finished reading Hobgoblin #1. This is going to be a three part mini, spiraling out of the events of the Marvel spanning Avengers and X-Men crossover event, AXIS. I did not expect much going into this book, and I got pretty much all that in return. [Read more…] about Review: Hobgoblin #1 – Axis Tie-In……yawn

Amazing Spider-Man #8 Review! Edge of the Spider-Verse with Ms. Marvel!
This is it, the last part of Edge of Spider-Verse before we crawl from the edge to smack dab in the middle of Spider-Verse proper. This issue contains the resolution of Spider-Man’s team-up with the new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, that began in Amazing #7. It also contains the final Edge of Spider-Verse tie-in featuring the MC2 May “Mayday” Parker Spider-Girl, and it’s a doozy. Please keep your arms inside the emotional rollercoaster at all times for the duration of this issue. [Read more…] about Amazing Spider-Man #8 Review! Edge of the Spider-Verse with Ms. Marvel!
Ms. Marvel #9 Review! Here Come the Inhumans
Here we are, 9 issues in following the adventures of Kamala as she continues to combat against the power of the inventor and his crazy machinery and monsters. Surprisingly enough, we’ve gone this far without Kamala getting bogged down in some form of crossover or event tie-in. Even Inhumanity, the event you would think this title would have been attached to. And subtracting the issues with Wolverine, this title has also remained free of constantly rotating guest stars to boast (though I’m still waiting for the inevitable crossover/guest-star-appearance-issues with Captain Marvel). So is this ninth issue just as good as the rest?

Avengers & X-Men: Axis #2 Review! It’s All Your Fault Tony Stark
Two issues in, and we already get a giant battle between a demon Nazi with two giant robots and a large percentage of Marvel’s biggest characters. Apparently Rick Remender didn’t get the message that Marvel events are supposed to hold back on anything exciting until the last issue (or maybe last two), and the rest of the event is meant to promise that something cool is coming like they’re dangling a shiny object in front of our faces. Anyway, Axis began on a good if not spectacular note, but how does the second issue continue the tale of Red Onslaught’s rampage? [Read more…] about Avengers & X-Men: Axis #2 Review!
