review 1: This was the first comic book I ever read and I came into with open expectations. What this did really well was provide me interesting characters that I care about. As a first chapter in any series does, it provides the exposition for the entire story and it did so effectively. I...

review 1: I solemnly promise I am not reading these hoping they will be bad. I'm not looking for a frustrating time. Nor can you really say I'm not giving these a fair shake: reading over a dozen New 52 volumes is quite generous, considering how unimpressive they are. Take this pail of h...

review 1: When I saw that the Red Lantern corps was getting their own series in the New 52 reboot I was questioning how long that would last. With a GL title already dedicated to a Justice League of the emotional corps (New Guardians), I thought it would be hard to flesh out all these Red ...

review 1: I didn't really know what I was getting into with this book. I just knew it was a giant book filled with Mike Allred artwork and a bunch of weird mutant characters I had heard of but knew nothing about. Fortunately, the story ended up being pretty good, and although it kind of ...

review 1: A short story about 5 samurais in the character of Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, Psylocke and Deadpool.Not an impressive read but the graphics are good. Mere confusion involved by the change of illustrators though.It would have been better if the stories are seamless with each other...

review 1: I've read this arc in separate issues, not the trade. The story was quite good, although the writer or editor should have checked the Russian words and names. At least in the separate issues, the policeman and later on the thug call the girl 'babushka'. I hope in the trade this b...
