Nova 2 review

The last issue was a pleasant surprise for someone who rarely likes Loeb’s writing. It was a little cliché sure, but it did a great job at introducing Sam (the new Nova). He’s a compelling character with plenty of potential … Continue reading

Nova 1 review

Nova is not a character, nor an identity, that I have much knowledge of. I’ve never read any of his solo adventures before, nor have I read Guardians of the Galaxy. So it was nice to find out that this … Continue reading

Wolverine 312 review

Wow this one was bad. It’s the third issue in the 4-part return of Sabertooth. Not only does this story arc feel late (Sabertooth has been back since February at least) but this story is barely about Sabertooth’s return. Instead … Continue reading

Wolverine 311 review

This is the second issue of a 4-part arc explaining how Sabertooth returned to the Marvel Universe. It feels a bit late considering he’s been around for a while. He showed up in Wolverine and the X-Men well before Avengers … Continue reading
