Avengers #8 Review


Firstly I am just going to start off by stating that I really can't believe that this series has reached issue 8 already. Just, wow. Companies are desperate to release number 1 issues in order to get new readers, then seems desperate to get as many issues out as possibly; which by their logic would mean less people would want to read them due to the high numbering. Oh well. The good thing about this series, regardless of being bombarded by issues, it is still a cracking series. Things really started to unfold in this issue, and some characters are starting to show their true colours.

Three quarters of this issue focused on the confrontation between the Starbrand and the Avengers. For whatever reason, mainly due to not reading solicits, I believed that this would all be pretty friendly experience. I really could not have been more wrong. A big battle soon erupted which helped to showcase some of the abilities Starbrand possesses; which look pretty awesome by the way.
We also saw some pretty awesome team work by Captain Marvel and Hulk; which also looked absolutely stunning. It was not just this scene that looked awesome, but the book as a whole looked amazing. The facial expressions were awesome, and I did find myself looking quite deeply into a lot of the panels.

The remaining quarter of this issue focused on Nightmask showing Starbrand exactly who he was and why he was here. I am going to be honest, some of this did go slightly over my head. I did understand it, but it did seem like quite a bit to take in. That is not a compliant by the way, I am just hoping that Hickman does not expect everyone to remember everything that they have read in future issues. If they keep up their impressive "previously" section then all should be just fine.
What was awesome about this scene was how it ended. Is Nightmask going to turn out to be baddie after all? It certainly looks like it at the minute. We also saw the reappearance of some of Hickman's newest bad guys on the last page too. I was starting to forget about them even though this is all linked to them in some way, so I am happy to see these guys back in the pages of the Avengers.

I know this series is not for everone; which is evident due to a lot of peoples opinions on the internet relating to it. However, I am still loving this series. I have a feeling some of the events may become lost on me in the future due to it bordering on being quite complicated, but I am enjoying the ride nevertheless. Unlike Morrisons' Action Comics run, which has thankfully come to an end, this is still fun. Not only that, it is keeping me completely engaged issue after issue. Yeah, I am a big fan of what is happening here, and I really can not recommend it enough. It is a series that is not afraid to make you think, which is something I am sure many people were not expecting from the Marvel NOW! Avengers series, but I think it is doing a great job at being itself.

Uncanny X-Men #3 Review


I am a big fan of this series so far, and after last issue I was very excited to see what was going to happen between Cyclops and the Avengers. We did not get a big fight scene; which to be honest is something that I was not holding high hopes for anyway. However, what we did get was some great dialogue, along with an argument that Scott Summers actually came out on top of. Yes you heard that right. Maybe the man is not as crazy as we all first thought.

Bendis has been building up the fact that Scott Summers actually has a pretty good argument for some time now. However, in this issue it really came to the forefront. I found myself agreeing with a lot of what he was saying; which I am sure many other fans found themselves doing too. He came across as the good guy who is being completely misunderstood, not just by the world but also the Avengers as well.
Speaking of the Avengers, in this particular issue they were written to come across as complete assholes. Ok, maybe that is a little bit too strong, but they were totally single minded in their understanding of what Scott and his gangs intentions were. They also seemed more than happy to ignore true facts that Scott was bring up to them. I understand that Bendis wrote them this way intentionally in order to get Scott across in a certain way, so I did love the way that this worked. However,I am hoping that the Avengers don't continue to think in this way for a prolonged period of time. The members are not stupid, so I hope it doesn't get to a point where I feel like screaming at the pages at them.

Magneto also came forward in this issue to admit that he was the one who told the Avengers where to go to confront them. I am glad this came out here as it was quite obvious who it was. Leaving this unanswered for a few issues would have been the wrong move; so I happy with what I read here. However, something I was not expecting, was the fact that Magneto seems to be playing SHIELD. I was not expecting this at all, but it does make sense. Bendis really has pulled off something here, and I am looking forward to seeing how this is going to develop.

One of the new recruuits of Scotts team, Eva Bell, came to the forefront here too. It was nice to get a brief glimpse into her past, and I also enjoyed the scene in which she not just stuck up for her leader, but also helped in stopping a big battle from breaking out in front of her own home.
One of the things I did not like in this issue, which is unusual as I usually like the way Bendis does this, was the constant humour throughout. Normally I think that this is really well placed, but here I thought it all felt a little forced in places. As I say, it is something I am normally a fan of, so it is not something I am too concerned about.

This was another great issue in which Scott has come across in very well. I am very happy this has happened because I have not been the biggest fan of Marvel turning him into a complete baddie. The end of this issue also leads me to believe that may hear another big speech from him in the next issue; which is something I am also looking forward too.
This series continues to be great, and as I have mentioned earlier, this is a very exciting time to be a fan of the X-Men. If you didn't pick this title up because you were frustrated that it was being rebooted yet again; then I really advise you to have a change of heart. The character development, along with the foundations being set for the future of the team, are things that just can't be missed.

Age Of Ultron #2 Review


I was pleasantly surprised with the first issue of this, so I was eagerly anticipating the next instalment. I was not let down at all as right here we have another very solid issue that focuses mainly on character development; whilst also showing how bleak the future looks for our heroes.

The start of this issue is actually my favourite scene in the whole book. In it we see Black Widow sneaking through a demolished San Francisco looking for supplies. Whilst doing this she encounters a normal man who acts totally out of character. The writing and art immediately tell us that this guy would not even think of doing something like this before the world fell apart; which means that what happens to him really comes as a bit of a shock. It shows how people that at one point were Avengers are now no better than normal human beings. Everyone is doing their best to survive, and it has really become a dog eat dog America.

The second half of this book focuses on Peter Parker and the super heroes that saved him back in New York. Once again, the writing is absolutely fantastic here; giving us some real insight into how this has effected certain people. Peter, for one, is absolutely distraught. I love how we got a look back as to what he saw when Ultron first attacked. It showed how big the scale of the assault was, as well as just how powerless these guys were against him.
A very good point was brought up by an Avenger concerning Peter  possibly being sold to Ultron. This got a certain character thinking which ultimately led to their first line of the series. The plan that is going to be set is quite obvious, and it is pretty much confirmed by the sneak peak of the cover for #3, but is still a LONG way to go in this crossover so I am really excited to see just how this big plan to defeat Ultron will go wrong.

Once again I think this is another solid issue in a crossover event that I am now very excited for. Bendis is doing a great job here at slowly setting the scene, as well as introducing more characters. I read today that he has hinted that something big is happening half way through the series; which I can tell by the buildup already that whatever it is is going to feel massive. Even if you think this is an event that you don't fancy ( like I originally did ), I would still recommend picking up these first two issues and giving it a go. It has even made me tempted to pick up Fantastic Four #5 due to it being a tie in; and it is a book I don't normally get!

All New X-Men #8 Review


This series has been a massive win for me so far. As some of you guys know I missed the first few issues initially before all the good press made it just too good for me to ignore; and I can honestly say that there has not been one bad issue in this run thus far. This issue teased the young X-Men meeting the present day Avengers; so you can imagine my excitement going in to reading it. My excitement ended up to be totally warranted too.

Three quarters of this issue was made up of past Angel and current day Angel battling Hydra as they were attempting to burn the Avengers tower down to the ground; all while the Avengers were nowhere to be seen.  I enjoyed this part of the issue; especially the way the two Warren's were with each other. Warren, for me anyway, is a member of the X-Men that I have never been overly excited about. However in this issue I really liked the dialogue coming from both versions of the character; which just shows how well written this series really is.

Next up in this issue was the confrontation between the Avengers and these young X-Men. To be honest it was not what I was expecting as I was expecting everything to be slightly more heated. However, as mentioned in the above paragraph, this book is just so well written; which means I really don't mind if things don't get too heated.
Put it this way, this scene consisted of a conversation between Hank and Cap, and we heard pretty much none of it due to Kitty and Bobby mocking the conversation. They had a conversation between them; whilst taking up the roles of Hank and Captain America. This was not only immensely fun to read, but also to look at; due to the fact that Marquez is a God at nailing facial expressions. I found myself with a big smile on my face as I was reading through this scene.
Jean Grey also had a very nice moment at the end of this issue; which followed a very well constructed rant by young Warren. It has become clear in previous issues that he has been struggling to get to grips with what exactly he becomes in the future; so everything came out regarding that in this issue.

Overall, this may be one of the best written comic on the stands at the moment. Bendis has a great feel for every single character that he writes. No wonder he has quite a few X books on the go at the moment. This is a massive time for the X-Men, and it is great to see that they have the right man behind them in moving forward. If you are a fan of these characters then I strongly recommend you guys get involved with this series. Yes at times there may not be much action involved; but all that is forgotten due to the fantastic character moments throughout each and every issue.

Avengers #7 Review


As you guys who read my blog on a regular basis, you will know that I am a big fan of Hickmans' Avengers. However, I read reviews on this issue saying it may put people off due to how big a scale it is working on. I had visions of Morrisons' current run on Action Comics and I got very scared indeed. I was hoping that this would not be the issue that put me off the series, and it turns out that instead of putting me off, it has actually got me even more behind this book.

A lot of this issue was laying the foundations for what feels like an absolutely HUGE story. We were told about Superflows, which I have got my head around just about, as well as a Starbrand; who is the protector of Earth. Looking at this issue, not too much really happened, but it is the way Hickman explains everything for the readers that is really impressive. The issue never felt like he was stretching the plot out to fill one issue, which shows just how much he has nailed the pace of this series.

Hickman also has a great feel for every single character in this series, which is massively impressive considering just how many Avengers are involved in this title. Every character feels exactly how they should do, and I especially like this version of Stark. We see a lot more intelligent Stark who is less interested in his clever one liners, and more interested in working his ass off for the team.

I am still a bit unclear as to what the "White Event" is exactly, but I am enjoying the ride that this arc seems to be taking me on. The way everything is recapped at the start of each issue is also going to be of massive use for this series. Instead of doing it the standard Marvel way, this book includes full panels that have been in previous issues. It feels more like a recap at the start of a TV show than a comic book.
The next issue seems to be going into more detail about who exactly the Starbrand for Earth is. We saw who he was at the end of this particular issue, but I cant wait for Hickman to give us a more in depth look at this guy.

I imagine a lot of younger readers who picked up this series due to the film last summer will probably have dropped this by now. Hickman and Marvel have grown a pair of balls in taking the series in the direction that it is going in, and I sure hope comic book fans around the world are enjoying this as much I am.

Punisher War Zone #5 Review


I was very pumped for the release of this issue due to it being Ruckas' last Punisher issue. I am very happy to say that I was not disappointed in the slightest. Although this mini series was nowhere near as good as the ongoing that Rucka was involved in, it still had the great feel that he brought to the character. I was hoping that he would finish it all off on a high note, and I am very happy that that is exactly what has happened here.

This issue focused on what this mini has been leading up to the whole time; the battle between Frank and the Avengers. I really enjoyed it, and I am happy with the outcome. All these superheroes against one man could only really end in one way, and I am glad it ended how it should have done. Frank put up one hell of a fight, and his reasons for standing up to fight them have to be admired. He may be a total badass, but he still has a heart and that is why we love him so much.
The panel in which he gave up in was also very impressive. The man had done what he was meant to do, and he had realised he could go no further; it was great.

The ending of this book was something that I kind of expected in relation to Cole-Alves, but it is still something that I was happy to see included. I am hoping very much that some time in the very near future, some writer will pick up the plot points from where Rucka has left them, as I would love to see more of Cole-Alves for sure. She is pretty much a female version of the Punisher now, but she has been so well written; I just think that I cant take this being the end of her story.

I have read two issues of the new Thunderbolts series and decided that it was not for me, so Frank Castle is not really in my life much now. The letters column in this issue gave the impression that Frank will be returning sometime soon, and I for one hope that this happens sooner rather than later. He has quite a bit of momentum behind him at the moment thanks to Rucka, and I just hope that Marvel have the sense to capitalise on that.
Some of you may be reading this review after missing Rucka's fantastic run; or you may have even just caught the end of it all. Well, I strongly recommend that if this is the case for some of you then you get buying the rest of the run. It will be money well spent I assure you. This is how Frank was meant to be written.

Uncanny X-Men #2 Review


After the first issue that did a nice job at setting up exactly what this series was going to be; I was very much looking forward to this instalment of the title. I was not let down either as Bendis continued to build the foundations of the story he is going to be telling. He is really fleshing out the characters here, especially the new ones who we are not aware of. So, if you guys ant to meet some new mutants, then I think this book is the place for you to be.

This issue, as mentioned, focused mainly on the new mutants being shown the new school in which they will be learning their trade. Although these children have names that are pretty forgettable for the time being, their own individual personalities came to the forefront in this issue.
Seeing as most of the issue focused on these new guys just talking to Cyclops and co, this issue really could have fallen flat on its face. Luckily for us Bendis had other ideas, and has really done a good job at helping us get to know these guys. Of course, we still do not know everything about them, which is just fine, but this issue has got me excited to read more about them for sure.

The start of this issue focused on Emma, and her getting used to the fact that her powers are nowhere near where they were. The conversation between her and Cyclops was interesting, and was something that really had to happen. I was getting quite confused at what point these two were at, and why Emma was even hanging around still. This issue has answered these questions, and also gone some way into explaining what kind of dynamic these two will have with each other.
The end of this issue nicely leads on to the next issue, and I for one can really not wait to see what will happen in the upcoming battle. I just hope that Bendis lets these guys duke it out, and doesn't just tease us. However, saying that, even if we do just get teased, I am sure Bendis will do it in a way that we will be desperate to pick up the next issue anyway.

All in all, this was a very good issue that is still laying down the foundations. Some people may not like the pace this series has, and I guess in some ways it may be best to read it as a trade, however I am loving the development of the story. I think it is always best to see these kind of things develop. Not only do I think it is more interesting that way, but you certainly get more value for money as the issues seem to be more wordy.
If you have been reading Bendis on All New X-Men, then jump on this too.

Avengers #6 Review


This is the 3rd Avengers issue in a row that solely focuses on one of the lesser known characters that new fans may not be aware of. I have been a big fan of this format, as not having read comic books for as long as some other people, I feel that I have really benefited from these. This particular issue focuses on Captain Universe, who I honestly have never read about. By the end of the issue however, I not only knew about her, but I also felt quite a bit of sympathy towards her.

This issue focused on telling us who exactly Captain Universe is. There is a woman who is the host of this life form, and that is who we learned about. This issue only really touched on who she was, and there are still some questions surrounding her, but it was enough to make me intrigued enough to want to know more about her. Hickman does a great job here in one issue of turning a relative unknown into a character that you care about. He is now 3 for 3 for me using this kind of format.
She also helped us understand exactly what "Adam" has been trying to telling us since he has been with the Avengers. The cryptic message that he gave is exactly that; cryptic. I am not too sure what it means, but it looks to me like things will become clearer in the next issue. What can be said for sure though, is that it still looks like Hickman is going for that epicness I have spoken about so many times regarding this series.

Spider-Man had some great moments in this issue with Sunspot and Cannonball; who are characters that I also know nothing about. There moments were very comedic, and they have also made me want to see more of those two guys in that kind of capacity. Of course I want to see them doing something of use for the team as a whole, but it was clear to me in this issue that they also work fantastically when used in this particular way.

I have enjoyed these last 3 issues immensely as they have spotlighted characters that I would not have read about otherwise. This particular issue seems to link in very nicely to the next story arc we will be seeing in this series. As of right now there is quite a bit of darkness surrounding what it all means, but I trust Hickman to tell a great story with it. Whatever it is, it feels like it is going to be huge.

Avengers #5 Review


This particular issue of the Avengers just focused on one of the lesser known characters named "Smasher". I had never heard of this character, as I have not been reading comics for a massive amount of time, and I ended up really enjoying this issue. That goes to show just how well Hickman is writing these origin stories. Last week we had the origin for Hyperion, which was an issue I really enjoyed too, and this week it feels like the quality of the series just keeps getting better.

Before this issue I really could not have cared less about the character named "Smasher". If you told me I would read a comic dedicated to her and enjoy it; I would definitely think that you were wrong. I loved the origin in this issue, and I also loved the supporting characters in her origin story such as her grandfather. He was only in this issue for a short amount of time but it was clear to see just how big an impact he had on her life. His personality also pretty much jumped off the page, which once again showed off Hickman's talent of getting you interested in a  character that you may have never heard of.

This issue also gave me a bit of a lesson on the structure of the Shi'aa imperial guard. This was a topic that once again I was not very familiar with, as well as also pretty uninterested in. After this issue, I felt like I had a bit more of a basic knowledge of the extended Marvel universe, as well as a genuine interest in what could happen next to them in their world.

One thing I liked about this issue, which is something I do not think we see enough of, is the way Izzy reacted when she got her new powers. She was not scared and full of questions. No, instead she just took off into space and started exploring. I know some people do not like this, and I have read some reviews that have this as a negative point, but it is this joy for life which I think made her so endearing to me in this issue.

I do not really want to spoil much with my review on this issue so I am just going to stop it right there. Hickman's run on the Avengers still looks like it is going to be epic. We have one more origin story next time around and then we are straight into the second team arc. These origin stories have been an absolute blast, and I am hoping we will see plenty more in the future after the next one.

Avengers #2 Review



This series is going to be epic. You can tell that already after reading the first two issues. Jonathan Hickman is building something here that should not be missed. It feels very refreshing compared to other Avenger related titles of late, and is something that I want to read more of instantly after putting an issue down.

In this issue the story goes backwards and forwards between the Avengers held captive on Mars and Captain America and Iron Man building an extended team to rescue them and defeat the new villains. This could have easily been two issues which may have been an easier way for Hickman to tell this story. However, he has gone for the harder route, but he has definitely conquered it. The way this issue flowed was terrific, and it still has that epic movie feel which I liked so much about issue one.

I really enjoyed hearing more from the new villains who are holding Earths mightiest heroes on Mars. Their plan to change earth for what they see as the better, to me anyway, is a very unique idea which I enjoyed hearing the back story for.
Also, seeing the team come together was also nice. It is something that has been done before obviously, but I really enjoyed some of the character moments on show which were quite humorous; which is in contrast to what this book is.

The art was once again outstanding, and may even be better than what was on show in the first issue. It is art which I was not too familiar with going into this series, but I keep finding myself spending some time looking at certain panels and just thinking: "Wow".

All in all this is once again another great issue which is just a small part of this epic scale world that Hickman is creating. I find myself looking forward to the next issue; which I am sure will be great due to what I believe may be a big battle between the extended team and these bad guys. I am sure the art will also flourish if the next issue is built in that way. If you are an Avengers fan then you really need to check this book out. One of the books of the week for sure.

Avengers #1 Review


The Avengers have been very much like the Hulk for me in recent time. I have been desperate to get into an ongoing Avenger series but none have ever really stood out or done enough to keep me interested. With Marvel NOW! I thought I may as well pick this up and give it a go. All I can say after reading this issue is: "congratulations Jonathan Hickman", this may be something special...

The tone is set for this book straight away in the opening few pages. While I was reading them I honestly thought that this could have been the beginning of the Avengers film sequel. Everything feels so epic and it really grabs you from the get go. I also loved the way the story was going backwards and forwards in time in a similar fashion to the way Hawkeye has been operating. It flowed really well, and added to the epic feeling that this issue gives as a whole.
The introduction of the new villains has made me very intrigued. We are all unfamiliar with them at the moment, which I think was a great call by Bendis. I was not expecting any new villains, but I am sure happy now that we have been given some. Their plan is also of epic proportion. What is also great about them is the fact that they have not just been thwarted by the Avengers after just one issue, You really get the feeling that these guys will be sticking around for a while.

I can also honestly say that I am not too familiar with any artwork previously done by Jerome Opena; even though the name sounds slightly familiar. However, I thought that in this issue his work was absolutely stunning, and it fits this title down to the ground. Some of the panels were really just breathtaking.

Overall, this was an absolutely fantastic setup issue for what I am sure is going to be a very exciting series to keep our eyes on. I am desperate to learn more about the bad guys along with their powers, as well as seeing how our heroes escape from the predicament they have found themselves in. It is clear that Hickman is creating something here on an epic level, and it is something that I am desperate for more of. I have finally found my Avengers book.

AvX Consequences #2


If you read my  review on the first issue of this series then you will know that I was not really expecting much from this issue. However, I have read it and I am actually pleasantly surprised with it. Most of the issue, save for a couple of pages, took place in one room, and what happened in this room really rocked.

 In this room were Cyclops and Wolverine. The tension was unbearable as Cyclops entered. He took a seat and waited for Logan to address him on why he came to see him. Logan was there to find out the location of Cyclops' extinction team, however that is not what he started the conversation with. He could not help but yell at Scott for carrying on down the path he had chosen with the Phoenix, not turning back once and reconsidering his options. What really surprised me though is that Scott still, yes still, believes he was right to do so. He stated that there would not be any new mutants without him, and that he will go down in history as saving mutantkind. After taunting Logan with the mention of Jean Grey, Scott nearly got killed by him. However, Wolverine saw that this is what he wanted so stopped immediately. After Cyclops attempted to make a deal to give the location of his extinction team Wolverine stormed out. The issues ends with Scott and another mutant inmate on the verge of being attacked by a group of their fellow prisoners.

This was a great issue. Very tense, and also hit the right notes emotionally. Who we saw in this issue were Scott and Logan, not Cyclops and Wolverine. That human element was played excellently. It also never felt like you were drowning in text when reading it either, which is difficult to achieve. However, what helped with that was the great art. It has definitely improved from the last issue in the series which I wasn't sure on at all. Wolverines' facial expressions were spot on and really helped tell the story without excessive amounts of text.

I am also starting to really like where Cyclops is going character wise. Yes, his ego is going more and more through the roof every issue, but I love it. He actually reminds me of CM Punk, the WWE wrestler, and his current character on TV. Very entertaining stuff. Logan was typically Logan in this issue, but was written superbly. He was flipping through all sorts of emotions throughout the issue, and you really felt what he was going through.

All in all I really enjoyed this issue. I have gone from not caring about this series at all, to really looking forward to the next issue. However, that can all change of course, but forget about that for the moment. This issue was terrific, and in this article that is all that matters.

AvX Consequences #1 review



I really enjoyed the whole of Avengers vs X-Men, all 12 issues. Yes, there were a couple of sub par issues, but as a whole I thought it was very very good. So following on from those events we have AvX: Consequences. Which as the title states, will be following the fallout from the epic six month story arc.

I found this book very hit and miss. There were some things done really well, while other things didn't seem to have the effect I think they were going for. Starting with the positives, it looks like there will be some big things to come from Wakanda and Black Panther. It seems that Wakanda are not forgiving the mutants so easily for destroying their home. This could lead to a possible conflict which would of course be very interesting. I have not read too many things with Black Panther involved in, so I would really like to see something like this put forward in the future. The scenes with Cyclops in the prison were also great. It should be fun to see how to copes in there with all the continual bad treatment towards him by the staff and possibly some other prisoners in future issues.

Now on to the negatives. The scene with Hope felt pointless. It seemed like they were trying to hit a certain emotional tone, and failed to do so. I wasn't really a fan of the scene between Cap and Wolverine. Wolverines' emotional state after the death of Xavier came over really well, and is in fact something I am looking forward to being explored more in depth. However, the scene as a whole I just think could have been done better. It didn't really flow right for me. I am also not very interested in whatever Captain Marvel and Iron Man seem to be up too. Obviously the foundations for their mission were just being set in this issue, but it failed to really interest me. Maybe my opinion on that will change after the next issue.

I cant write a review on this issue without mentioning the art either. Some pages it looked absolutely great. In fact Wolverine looked superb in every frame he was in. However, Captain America looked terrible throughout. It just didn't look like Cap enough for me.

Overall, I am stuck in the middle with this issue. The foundations have been set for some quite interesting things thus far, however there are other aspects of this mini series that I can tell already I will not be interested in in the slightest. This will not stop me picking it up though, as like most people who read AvX, I am desperate to see the implications of this years biggest story.

Hope everyone is having a great new comic book day :)
