SECRET WARS #9 Review: “All. The. Marbles.”

January 16, 2016 by Matt Lehn 5 Comments

Anticipation! Dread! An overriding desire to just see it finally over and done! It’s not so much that the long-awaited conclusion to Marvel’s 2015 mega-event succeeds in pressing the obvious buttons (it does) but where it truly excels is in its Fantastic propensity for the inventively subtle and delightfully unexpected. Capital “F” for a reason. [Read more…] about SECRET WARS #9 Review: “All. The. Marbles.”

SECRET WARS #7 Review: “War Ensemble!”

November 15, 2015 by Matt Lehn 1 Comment

No more preamble! No more talking heads! Well, okay, a lot less talking heads. Either way, Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribic and company’s epic is back on- with emphasis on the “EPIC”. Big time! [Read more…] about SECRET WARS #7 Review: “War Ensemble!”

SECRET WARS #6 Review: “Spiders in Head, Hamburger in Pocket”

October 10, 2015 by Matt Lehn 3 Comments

While the Event of Secret Wars is winding down, the story itself is just picking up steam. After a far-too-long gap between installments, writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic waste no time steering a wandering audience back to the center attraction with bold interactions and one of the saga’s biggest laughs. Packing it in at twenty-five pages, it’s all roving cam, all the time on the push to what the solicits refer to as “The Final War”!

YEARS OF FUTURE PAST #5 Review: “Cage-Free Metaphors!”

September 26, 2015 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

Earth-811 is never really a “healthy” source of nostalgia- unless you’re fond of no-win dystopias. The conclusion of writer Marguerite Bennett and company’s “inspired by” riff on the Claremont/Byrne touchstone isn’t so much about course-correcting and bringing about a much-needed ray of sunshine as it is full-bore allegorically presaging the shape of things to come.

FUTURE IMPERFECT #5 Review: “The Norseheim Screwjob!”

September 5, 2015 by Matt Lehn 3 Comments

As a general rule, thirty-year Marvel veteran Peter David writing a Hulk story is something that at least deserves a once-over. Every time. Let’s face it, he is at the front of a very short list regarding the character’s definitive writers. Furthermore, the reprisal of his watershed dystopic time-travel story isn’t so much “safe territory” as it is a genuine bankable crowd-pleaser. All of this is to say, that right from the first panel, there is tremendous comfort in recognizably witnessing a master in his wheelhouse. No preamble. No lip service. David’s script is large, in charge and it has brought the gamma-rage thunder! [Read more…] about FUTURE IMPERFECT #5 Review: “The Norseheim Screwjob!”
