Top Ten Comic Books of 2021!

Last year I put out a video ranking my favorite comic books of 2020, and now I’m doing it again for 2021. Here’s hoping it isn’t irrelevant by the time it comes out like it was last year. That was my bad. But this year, I feel as if I’ve really opened myself up to […]

Marauders #27 Review

Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Matteo Lolli, Phil Noto Coloring by: Rain Beredo, Phil Noto Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Marauders was my favorite X-Men book at the beginning of Dawn of X. Among the original 6 titles, it still remains my favorite. Marauders #27 is an end to that story, with a new […]

X-Men #6 Review

Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Pepe Larraz Coloring by: Marte Garcia Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles I like the idea of Captain Krakoa, a lot. I think Cyclops becoming Captain Krakoa is an excellent choice. Not because he’s like Captain America in character, but because he’s like him in his relationship with his nation. […]

Inferno #4 Review

Written by: Jonathan Hickman Art by: Valerio Schiti, Stefano Caselli Coloring by: David Curiel Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino I absolutely love the Krakoa Era of X-Men, I’m hardpressed to say there’s a single issue I’ve hated. At the same time, I can’t say there has been anything as amazing as House of X/Powers of […]

Devil’s Reign #2 Review

Written by: Chip Zdarsky Art by: Marco Checchetto Coloring by: Marcio Menyz Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Devil’s Reign #2 continues the excellence of the last issue. The thing that immediately stands out to me is how this issue isn’t just here to build things up for later issues. This issue continues the consequences of the […]

The Trial of Magneto #5 Review

Written by: Leah Williams Art by: Lucas Werneck Coloring by: Edgar Delgado Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles It may sound a little ridiculous to say that a character needs a redemption arc. In other mediums, a character only needs to be what the creatives need them to be. But in comic books, where multiple creatives […]

Excalibur #26 Review

Written by: Tini Howard Art by: Marcus To Coloring by: Erick Arciniega Lettering by: VC’s Ariana Maher This is it, Excalibur #26, the final issue of the longest running series of Dawn of X. This has been a controversial series, with many taking issue with the characterization of Betsy Braddock and the pace of the […]

X-Men #5 Review

Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Javier Pina & Ze Carlos Coloring by: Erick Arciniega Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Now at X-Men #5, I think it’s easy to say that this series isn’t going to focus on Krakoa. In fact, this series feels like it’s trying to avoid Krakoa as much as possible, and […]

Dark Ages #3 Review

Written by: Tom Taylor Art by: Iban Coello Coloring by: Brian Reber Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino While the first two issues felt a bit slow, it was necessary for what we get here in Dark Ages #3. Here, we have the heartwarming characters moments (the ultimate red herrings) just before all hell breaks loose […]

S.W.O.R.D. #10 Review

Written by: Al Ewing Art by: Jacopo Camagni Coloring by: Fernando Sifuentes of Protobunker Studios Lettering by: VC’s Ariana Maher What I love about this era of X-Men is how it takes the time to give lesser-known characters their due. This also–thankfully–has given lesser represented groups time with characters like them. What the creative team […]
