Nova #34
February 3rd, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
I'd like to think that we don't need any more, "and then two teams fight each other, one at a time" stories in comics.
Nova #33
January 20th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A lackluster, standard version of the time-displaced heroes story that doesn’t break new ground or offer any surprises.
Deathlok #2
December 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Lan Medina's art has a sickeningly soft yet grotesquely beautiful look to it, and that's about right for this series, even if the story seems off.
Nova #32
December 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The past collides with the present, and the Sphinx isn't the only old friend to return.
Iron Man Vs. Whiplash #1
December 3rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The Iron Man machine sets rolling here. This series provides some insight into the character of Whiplash. Not a must-have, by any means, but certainly a story of interest for the most rabid Iron Fans.
Deathlok #1
November 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Marvel tries to restart the Deathlok franchise again, only this time with more background -- or is it with more decompression? "Kill them all and let God sort them out." Ugh.
Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #2
October 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Entertaining, but not entirely substantive. Though, Ellis continues to write a fantastic Ultimate Tony Stark.
Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1
September 16th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Remember the Iron Man story “Armor Wars”? Well, here it is in the Ultimate universe, but, thankfully, Warren Ellis is writing it.
War of Kings: Who Will Rule? #1
September 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The story begun in the "War of Kings" series continues on, but there are no kings present in this issue -- at least, no living kings.
War of Kings #6
August 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"War of Kings" has an explosive conclusion, but be warned that there's still an epilogue issue a month away.
War of Kings #5
July 5th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The penultimate chapter of "War of Kings" sets up the final confrontation between the Kree and the Shi'Ar. Other stories have claimed that nothing will ever be the same; this issue delivers.
War of Kings: Ascension #3
June 16th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The latest issue of "War of Kings: Ascension" shows the flipside of recent "War of Kings" events, which sounds good in practice but gets sluggish in places. Plus, Darkhawk tries to find his inner Hulk.
War of Kings #4
June 2nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"War of Kings" manages to be both a huge science-fiction war epic, and a quiet, personal story all wrapped up into one. How'd that happen?
War of Kings #3
May 12th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The tide appears set to turn in this issue, as the Inhumans and Kree realize the sheer numbers stacked against them. Complicating matters further is the revelation of a turncoat, casting lots with a most unexpected ally.
War of Kings: Ascension #1
April 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
In "War of Kings: Ascension" #1, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning don't make it clear exactly who you're supposed to be cheering for.
War of Kings #2
March 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Abnett and Lanning balance the epic scope of an interstellar war with the small moments of characterization needed to make it matter.
X-Men Manifest Destiny: Nightcrawler #1
March 9th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Nightcrawler heads back home to confront his demons, figuratively and literally.
War of Kings #1
March 3rd, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
Marvel's Space Revitalization leads up to a War of Kings, as all the sides come together and fight. By Abnett, Lanning, Pelletier, and Magyar.
War of Kings: Darkhawk #1
February 4th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Darkhawk has it all going for him, a steady job, a reconciliated home, and his anger management issues appear under control. Time for a shake-up.
X-Men: Kingbreaker #2
January 20th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A dull and pointless outer space adventure from Yost and Weaver.
Secret Invasion: War of Kings #1
January 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
For a "War of Kings" novice, this one-shot sets the stage perfectly for Marvel's latest outer space epic.
Ultimate Hulk Annual #1
January 5th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Ultimate Hulk fights Supreme Power’s Zarda in a dispute over his state of dress, by Loeb, McGuinness, and Djurdjevic
X-Men: Kingbreaker #1
December 29th, 2008 | By James Hunt
The Starjammers free the Starjammer, and Vulcan consolidates his grip on the Shi’ar empire. By Yost and Weaver
Dragon Prince #3
November 25th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
A good jumping-on point, “Dragon Prince” #3 is a solid read with few flaws, but also few ambitions.
newuniversal: 1959 #1
August 4th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Kieron Gillen and Greg Scott take on the unenviable task of fleshing out Ellis’ “newuniversal” backstory. Are they demented enough to compete?
X-Men: Divided We Stand #2
May 25th, 2008 | By James Hunt
While an improvement over the opening issue due to a decreased focus on the “New X-Men” cast, "Divided We Stand" still feels largely skippable except for hardcore mutant completists.
X-Men: Divided We Stand #1
April 20th, 2008 | By James Hunt
A heavy focus on the cast of "New X-Men" means this “Divided We Stand” tie-in often feels underwhelming, though a mix of genuine established and rising talent saves it from complete mediocrity.
