Uncanny X-Men 11 and 12 review

This is the only comic I picked up this week, and even then, it was on my “maybe” list. Why? Because I kind of hated Uncanny X-Men 11. Usually I try to re-read every comic I pick up within a … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 12 review

From what I’ve heard, Uncanny X-Men’s Apocalypse Wars tie-in was pretty good. I know that All-New X-Men’s 3-issue arc did a great job exploring Apocalypse’s childhood in ways we haven’t seen before, while also giving Evan a lot to think … Continue reading

Civil War II 4 review

If you’re only counting the main issues of the series, we’re half-way done Marvel’s second major event called Civil War. This is also the issue where the first major fight begins, on the very last page. That’s fairly typical of … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 11 review

So there are three Apocalypse Wars tie-ins going on right now in the X-Men franchise. From what I’ve heard, Uncanny X-Men’s is really good, but I stopped reading it after issue 2 because Cullen Bunn’s writing wasn’t enough to offset … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 10 review

This series frustrates me. On the one hand, Extraordinary X-Men’s writer Jeff Lemire is capable of great storytelling. His All-New Hawkeye run was short but effective, and it feels like a complete story. His Old Man Logan run is very … Continue reading

Comics of May 25, 2016

Well, DC Rebirth is starting next month, and I’m still not sure which titles I’ll be reading and which ones I’ll ignore. I’ll probably pick up at least one of the Superman titles at first, definitely one of the Batman … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 8 review

This series has been on and off for me so far, but if I look back, that’s also how Extraordinary X-Men’s writer, Jeff Lemire, started off his Justice League United run. That series ended up being really good as a … Continue reading

Comics of May 16, 2016

Before I get into comics this week, I just thought I’d like to talk about a game I played through this past week, Life is Strange. Although it’s not perfect, I think it’s pretty good. The storytelling is strong, the … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 7 review

7 issues in and I’m still not sure how I feel about Extraordinary X-Men. The first 4 were so dark and depressing that I nearly dropped the title, even if there was nothing terrible about the writing itself. Issue 5 … Continue reading
