Marvel in May

16 February, 2010 (22:39) | Comics | By: Alan

So the post-Dark Reign landscape of the Marvel universe is slowly starting to take shape, and with the latest solicits on IGN there are a few surprises.
The Heroic Age Magazine #1 cover presents an interesting line up.  Some are obvious.  We’ve got Black Widow (currently appearing all over the Marvel Universe for several months – [...]

Captain Britain and MI13 #13

14 May, 2009 (22:37) | Comics | By: Alan

Its not often something pushes my precious Green Lantern Corps into second place, but this month, the book that really jumped out from this week’s pull list was Captain Britain #13. As good as Emerald Eclipse is being, it just can’t match the impact of events in this book.

Captain Britain continues this week, with the aftermath of Dracula’s initial attack on the team.  We see Faiza dealing with the fact her family were directly attacked, and the team regrouping at a hospital.

Well, this week saw us hit the midway point with Marvel’s Secret Invasion event.
I must admit, despite a strong start, I feel the main series is really starting to struggle.   For the last 3 issues, its really felt like precious little has happened to move the story forward.  This is underlined by last month’s cliffhanger, [...]

Comics 15/05/08

15 May, 2008 (21:09) | Comics | By: Alan

Bit of a mixed bag this week comics-wise.
First up, and possibly the biggest release of the week for DC fans is the Final Crisis sketchbook.
As a tease of what’s upcoming I think it works well.  We get a look at the redesigns instore for some of the New Gods as well as a look at [...]
