Cyclops- *Ahem* I mean Captain Krakoa poses for the camera in X-Men #6.
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. […]

Mystique is partially transforming into Wolverine.
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 […]

Spider-Man is being stabbed by Taskmaster while being held down by Doc Ock's arms on the Devil's Reign #2 cover..
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 […]

Magneto and Wanda dance together on the cover of The Trial of Magento #5.
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 […]

Captain Britain kneels with her sword before her as Saturnye stands behind her on the cover of Excalibur #26.
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 […]

Wolverine is trapped in the background as hand with a scalpel looms in the foreground.
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 […]

Apocalypse tears Iron Man in half on the cover of Dark Ages #3.
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 […]

Wiz Kid takes center stage before Cable and Storm on the cover of S.W.O.R.D. #10.
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 […]

Wanda is surrounded by red feathers as she floats through empty space.
The Trial of Magneto #3 Review

Written by: Leah Williams Art by: Lucas Werneck & David Messina Coloring by: Edgar Delgado Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles The first two issues of the Trial of Magneto have been two of the best issues I’ve read all year. The way they’ve furthered Wanda’s state of self-healing but also Magneto’s guilt has been gut-wrenching, […]

Marvel Inferno begins, with Moira McTaggert standing over the bodies of the Quiet Council.
Marvel Inferno #1! Comic Book Reviews 9/29

I have to be honest and forewarn readers, my opinions and feelings get pretty bleak and angry a bit this week. Not about Marvel Inferno, that’s fantastic and it starts the night off with good news. It’s when it comes to Deathstroke Inc. and Batman vs Bigby! that I have some things I need to […]
