When Futures Collide 1
I have long wondered what comic book aliens would be like in the Star Trek universe. I am also a huge fan of comic cross overs. So, when I heard about this book, it was a dream come true for me. I'm a regular reader of the Legion and a huge Star Trek fan (though I prefer the 24th century), so for me all the characters here are more than familiar, but the book does a great job of introducing the cast for those who are new to either universe.The story is only getting started, but it has the making...

It Ain't Pretty But... 0
StoryThe opening is a little confusing as two new characters, Osprey and the soon-to-be Swan are introduced with very little explanation. It does improve from there though, moving at a fairly brisk pace through the story. We're given a little more on the backgrounds of Hawk and Dove, which I'm sure will be helpful for new readers.

On Earth 2 this book would be awful... 0

Issue 4 deals with a more personal story than previous issues as it looks into the life and death of Gwen Stacy. Sheldon helps Gwen investigate the death of her father, blamed on Spider-Man by the media, and in doing so sees the Marvels with the awe that she does as Atlantis invades New York. The death of Gwen Stacy was something...

In the beginning. 0
Legendary artist, Alex Ross, teams with writer, Kurt Bursiek, to deliver the history of the Marvel Universe from the perspective of one of it's more normal inhabitants. Issue 1 deals with Marvel's "Golden Age", from inventor Phineas Horton's creation, The Human Torch (not Johnny Storm) to Captain America and the superhuman intervention in World War 2. There are numerous references to events in a number of comics that many readers won't be aware off as they were first printed in the late 30s and ...
