Spider-Man #12: Sitting in a Tree Part 1

Another free digital issue!  I really enjoy that Marvel has done a lot of this with their free digital copies.  Two issues for the price of one is always a good thing!  This was also my first experience with Miles Morales as Spider-Man.  My verdict?  He's a good Spider-Man. The Cover The cover pictures Spider-Man …

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #298 – Most Wanted

Merry Christmas to all!  I've got some downtime before Santa rolls in, so I'm going to do a quick rundown of my first Spider-Man comic! The Cover Adam Kubert and Morry Hollowell did the duties for this issue, and it looks pretty neat.  We have the Black Panther standing over a beaten down Spider-Man, implying …

Shirtless Bear-Fighter #4

I picked this issue up based entirely on the title.  I'm just not one of those people who can see a title like "Shirtless Bear-Fighter" and just ignore it.  Something like that is going to be either complete garbage, or a lot of fun.  I was hoping for the latter.  Either way, this is the …

Royals #1

Two Inhumans related comics in a row!  After watching the pilot of the TV series I didn't think this would ever happen, but then the quality of the comics is leaps and bounds above that god-awful show.  This one came as a free digital download with another comic, and after Thanos #1 and Doctor Strange …

Return of the Jedi: Sharing it With my Son

Last weekend my son and I had the afternoon to ourselves.  So we cuddled up on the couch, grabbed some snacks, and sat down to watch the first movie I ever remembered seeing in the theater:  Return of the Jedi.  My little guy is about the same age I was when I first watched this …

Secret Warriors #9: We Esteem too Lightly Part Two

I'm going to be upfront.  I picked this issue up because I can never find issues of the Moon Girl solo series.  In this case, I did not regret it! The Cover The cover displays the whole team, seemingly charging into battle.  All of the characters look good, and none of them look out-of-place.  Javier …

The Incredible Hulk 710: Return to Planet Hulk Part 2

This is the first issue of The Incredible Hulk I've picked up since he briefly took the mantle of the Horseman of War under Apocalypse. The Cover The cover features the Hulk carrying a giant sword and riding some kind of dune buggy.  Given the story arc involving a return to Planet Hulk, I'm betting …

Justice League in Review

I took in Justice League tonight.  After some of the reviews and criticisms of the film, I was expecting it to be pretty terrible, but still vowed to approach it with an open mind.  There are several things I liked in it, and a few I didn't.  It was really a mixed bag of a …

Doctor Strange #381: Loki: Sorcerer Supreme Part 1

Wait a minute, when did this happen?  My last issue of Doctor Strange had him in the aftermath of most magic being obliterated, and now Loki is Sorcerer Supreme? The cover pictures Loki, front and center, and though the book is still named Doctor Strange, I am curious how long he'll be relegated to the …

Dark Nights: The Batman Who Laughs

This issue is the last of the Metal tie-ins, introducing the last of the dark multiverse batmen. The Cover The cover of this issue is downright spooky.  The Batman Who Laughs stands in the center, with three corrupted Robin's on chain leashes.  It looks downright macabre.  Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson do a great job …
