Booster Club 1
This is the first of the 'New 52' I have read...THE GOODI liked this issue. Dan Jurgens has always kept me entertained with his writing. I thought the introduction of team members as part of the story was clever. I liked the exchange between Booster Gold and the UN representative, when he first arrives. I have been a fan of Aaron Lopresti's work for years, and this is no exception. Lopresti's work is complemented greatly by Hi-Fi's coloring. I really like the group of characters selected as well...

Supreme Snackers 0
It appears that the Squadron Supreme have become zombies!?! The Good The artwork for this issue is very well done. First off, the cover is gorgeous, and interiors work great for this story. Also, the Squadron Supreme are in it (sort of) and a very surprising appearance by former Bucky and anti-SHRA hero Battlestar. The Bad Zombies. More zombies, and what do zombies do...they eat people. Not only do they eat people, they (mostly Hyperion) make jokes!?! Since when does Hyperion, in an...

Not The Only Wall-Crawler 0
Amazing Spider-Man #30 (or #471, depends on who's keeping track) Is the start of a long run by J. Michael Stracynski(JMS for short). In the lead off issue for JMS, Peter goes back to his old high school to find it has become a much tougher place for the kids to learn. And after delivering a 'bully beatdown' on some kids as Spider-Man, he finds a barefoot man wall-crawling next to him. JMS' writing is great, he sets up a lot, new characters, a new mystery, and maybe a new job. JMS introduces ...

Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut! Don't believe the hype. 3
"Nothing can stop the Juggernaut!" A phrase uttered by Cain Marko, on many an occasion. The cover alone suggests otherwise. I'll admit, I haven't read Amazing Spider-Man in a few months(since #600), and was afraid to jump into an issue so far removed. I'm happy to say this wasn't a problem. The 'Bugle Girl' page recapped recent events perfectly, allowing me to enjoy this issue, worry free. First off, I loved the art on this issue. The cover alone makes me want to read this issue. I...

Norman's Win/Win Senario 0
SOME SPOILERS Jeff Parker's transition as the Thunderbolt's writer continues to be a smooth one. And with Parker writing, it should be no surprise that his other stradling the line of good and evil group should appear. Here's the skinny: Norman Osborne has a mean-on for the Agents Of Atlas for a double-cross, at the same time he knows/suspects that someone in the Thunderbolts is causing trouble. Osborne send the T-Bolts to destroy an Atlas base in hopes of pitting the two teams against each ...

Jungle Love - Marvel Digital Review #2 0
Classic X-Men back-up review #2 featuring Colossus. The X-Men arrive in the Savage Land, after their encounter Magneto at his Antarctic base. The heat, playing tricks on his mind, make Peter think he sees Anya. Anya is a girl from back home, but he is really looking at three females from the Fall People tribe. The women are attacked by a T-Rex, and Peter comes to their rescue. One of them is killed by the T-Rex, and to repay him for saving them, the other two want to have a "ceremony" with...

Down To Earth 0
*SOME SPOILERS*Planet Skaar Prologue, was just that, a set-up issue for the bigger arc. Greg Pak has mentioned that his Hulk story is a trilogy, and I expect this may be part three. Pak brings Skaar to Earth looking for Hulk, and his mere approach causes Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters to "Hulk-up". Norman Osborn, pardons the Warbound and then does his best Montgomery Burns, as he finds out about how Skaar's pressence has effected Kate Waynesboro. I was pleasently surprised with dan Panosi...

Pleasently Suprised! 2
SPOILERS!!!As stated above, I was pleasantly surprised by this issue. Hold on to your hats, but before this issue, I had yet to read any of the previous Marvel Zombies titles. Despite the rabid reviews by critics and fans alike, I just couldn't bring myself to pick up a copy. So what compelled me this time around? Machine Man and Jocasta. I am a huge fan of obscure characters, of which this issue has plenty. Right off the bat, we are introduced to The Initiative' Florida based group The Command....
