Fantastic Four #575
January 28th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Marvel's house ads for this issue show an image of a decomposing Galactus. That's in here, but not in the way you think. Or maybe it is exactly the way you think. At any rate, Mole Man makes an appearance too.
Captain America: Reborn #6
January 26th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
A satisfying conclusion, finally, to a series that had lost its momentum.
Thor #606
January 26th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
Gillen and Tan set the stage for the title’s role in “Siege” with Thor fighting Doom who happens to be using the Destroyer armor.
Thor #605
December 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Kieron Gillen brings the thunder. Billy Tan brings the lightning. Doctor Doom doesn't seem to mind.
Fantastic Four #574
December 25th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Happy Birthday, Franklin Richards! Hope you survive the experience.
Vengeance of the Moon Knight #4
December 21st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Moon Knight revamped as a Darker Knight, but with little story in this issue.
Power Girl #7
December 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A funny, entertaining issue that’s hampered by a clichéd and unoriginal plot. The talent is there, the story just doesn’t let it shine through like it should.
Captain America: Reborn #5
December 16th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Captain America finally returns to his body, at the right time. But he’s not the only person using it.
Fantastic Four #573
November 26th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Things go awry on Nu-Earth as the visiting Thing, Human Torch, and Richards kids discover much to their dismay.
Captain America: Reborn #4
November 9th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Steve Rogers may be coming back, but he’s going to have to relive the worst day of his life first — or, will he prevent it from happening?
Fantastic Four #572
October 31st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Hickman exorcises the Reed Richards-centric focus by focusing on a Reed Richards-centric story. And it works!
Fantastic Four #571
September 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Fantastic Four" continues to be exciting and fun over Jonathan Hickman's watch, even if the FF appear to all be on steroids.
Wednesday Comics #12
September 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Many satisfying conclusions, and a job well done.
Wednesday Comics #11
September 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The weaker strips in "Wednesday Comics" are still on shaky ground, but the best pages are still worth the price of admission.
Captain America Reborn #3
September 15th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"The future of my past. . . " so thinks Steve Rogers as he has an ethereal experience tumbling through his own life. This book is a "Captain America's Greatest Hits" that actually uses those hits to move the story forward.
Immortal Weapons #2
September 9th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Bride of Nine Spiders takes the center stage in this issue of "Immortal Weapons," which turns out to be a good old fashioned horror story.
Last Resort #2
September 5th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
As if a mysterious zombie-like outbreak wasn't enough of a problem, throw in a hurricane, an exploding airplane, and a seemingly deserted island. Wish you were here.
Fantastic Four #570
August 24th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Jonathan Hickman's Reed Richards meets his match(es).
Wednesday Comics #6
August 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Halfway through the 12-week “Wednesday Comics” series and the quality remains high with gorgeous art and ever-improving writing.
Captain America: Reborn #2
August 4th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Steve Rogers is alive – but can his friends get to him in time?
Fantastic Four #569
July 29th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The Millar/Hitch run ends with the two barely involved. That doesn’t seem to matter since Stuart Immonen draws this extra-sized issue and he sure does draw the hell out of it.
Wednesday Comics #3
July 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
One third of the stories are great, but just as many are less than spectacular.
Power Girl #3
July 23rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The first arc of "Power Girl" wraps up in a super-heroic way, complete with a knockdown, drag-out brawl, a team-up, and a threat headed our way next issue.
The Last Resort #1
July 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
This book features an undead attack upon a tropical vacation spot. Good times.
Wednesday Comics #1
July 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Wednesday Comics" doesn't just live up to the hype, it actually surpasses it. It really is that cool.
Wednesday Comics #1
July 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Art is king in DC’s new 12-issue weekly series that recalls the Sunday comics pages, using a broadsheet format. 15 pages of gorgeous art on giant pages. Not too shabby.
Captain America: Reborn #1
July 2nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Despite spinning out of four years of “Captain America” stories, Ed Brubaker makes the first issue of Steve Rogers’ return very new-reader friendly.
Fantastic Four #568
July 2nd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Millar and Hitch's FF prepares for a landing, but the co-pilots are already heading out the door.
Captain America: Reborn #1
July 1st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Captain America lives! But when?
Thor #602
June 23rd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An issue of subplots with no real central focus to drive things forward as Thor solves a problem, William adjusts to life in Asgard, and Baldur explains his rationale for accepting Doom’s offer of relocation.
Power Girl #2
June 23rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Power Girl" is already losing a little bit of its oomph, with far too much of the issue devoted to drawn out fight scenes and little forward momentum.
Captain America #600
June 15th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
One year later, the Marvel Universe pauses to remember Steve Rogers, with guest creators galore!
Wolverine #74
June 10th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Not-quite-but-almost-final issue that concludes the two stories began in #73. Some good work here from current Wolverine writers Daniel Way and Jason Aaron with fantastic art by Tommy Lee Edwards and former “Wolverine” artist Adam Kubert.
Wolverine #72
June 2nd, 2009 | By James Hunt
Old Man Logan finally gets his claws out, to the surprise of no-one.
Fantastic Four #566
May 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An entire issue devoted to the coming of Doom’s master. The tension is high, but the content is lacking.
Black Panther #4
May 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Four issues in and the "new" Black Panther still has not pulled on the cowl. We do, however, get treated to some jungle action featuring Man-Ape. Thanks Marvel.
Power Girl #1
May 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
For the first time ever, on any Earth, Power Girl gets her own ongoing series. This is the perfect jumping on point for any reader and should have been alongside "Blackest Night" on Free Comic Book Day.
Thor #601
April 20th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The repercussions of last issue surface with Thor in exile and Balder considering Loki’s suggestion to emigrate to Latveria.
Black Panther #3
March 31st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
T'Challa takes a stroll on the spiritual side of things while his sister, Shuri, continues her quest to become Wakanda's next champion.
Wolverine #71
March 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Millar and McNiven continue to do great work on this series.
Black Panther #2
March 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Since Dr. Doom is on the cover, I think I can safely reveal that Doom attacked the Black Panther in the last issue. This leads to a new, female Black Panther, who still doesn't appear in this book.
Thor #600
February 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Have at thee! Marvel returns "Thor" to the numbering that began lo those many years ago with "Journey Into Mystery" #1.
Black Panther #1
February 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Under a "Dark Reign," the Black Panther prowls back onto the new comic stand. While there aren't any deep identity revelations in this issue, there is a decent story.
New Avengers #49
January 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The whereabouts of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’s missing daughter are revealed! The ramifications of Cage joining up with Norman Osborn are felt! And, the Avengers get their first glimpse of Norman Osborn’s new Avengers!
Fantastic Four #563
January 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A slice of life tale is overshadowed by the impending darkness in this disturbingly ominous issue by Millar and Hitch.
Fantastic Four #562
January 7th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
Millar and Hitch's Fantastic Four is a strong bridge between classic and modern storytelling. This issue features strong characterization, and detailed art.
Terra #4
December 17th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
"Terra" wraps up in this issue, but the adventures of this earth-mover have only just begun. Cue Carpenters music.
Thor: Man of War #1
November 27th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
The third of Matt Fraction’s “Thor” specials has Thor square off against his father in a battle for the ages.
Terra #2
November 23rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
"Terra" continues to offer up a mysterious connection to the young ladies who possessed the name previously while setting the DCU up with new locales and adventures.
Fantastic Four #561
November 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The Nu Defenders vs. the Fantastic Four, in spectacular widescreen action.
