Oh All-New X-Men.  There are definitely things I like about this series. Compared to the other X-Men books right now, this one has a much more balanced, optimistic feel. There’s been some great character development with Cyclops, Evan, Iceman and … Continue reading

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 review

I didn’t pick up the first issue of Brian Michael Bendis’s second volume of Guardians of the Galaxy when it first released. Although I’ve enjoyed part of his first run, other parts of it I found mediocre at best. A … Continue reading

All New X-Men 40 review

For a moment, I considered combining this with my review of Black Vortex Omega, but there’s more than enough to talk about to make this a separate review. Yes, this explores the direct aftermath of the second Guardians of the … Continue reading

Black Vortex Omega review

The idea behind the Black Vortex crossover is a good one. An ancient artifact, gifted to a planet 12 billion years ago, gives those who submit to it cosmic powers. But at the same time, it multiplies any dark nature … Continue reading
