Hyperion defends his world from a twisted rogues gallery (give or take a Hulk) in Heroes Reborn #2. Written by Jason Aaron. Drawn by Dale Keown, Carlos Magno, and Ed McGuinness. Inked by Scott Hanna, Carlos Magno, and Mark Morales. Colored by Edgar Delgado & Matthew Wilson. Lettered by Cory Petit. Jason Aaron and company’s…
Good art with a poorly plotted and tonally jumbled script, Heroes Reborn is the definition of a mixed bag.
Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC comics come out Tuesdays, everything else Wednesdays. Vishal’s Pick: Heroes Reborn #1: The Avengers do an Age of Apocalypse, imagining a world where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes never teamed up, with Blade in the Bishop role, in a seven-issue event series by writer…
Twenty years ago, Lucy Weber fought madmen and monsters. Today, she finds her marriage falling apart and her children in danger. And now past threats, and rogue heroes, return to herald the end of the world in Black Hammer: Reborn #3, written by Jeff Lemire, drawn by Caitlin Yarsky, colored by Dave Stewart and lettered…
Lucy Weber, formerly the powerful hero Black Hammer, is struggling to keep her daughter from following the same path of heroism — a battle she seems destined to lose as the family is confronted with spatial warps, shark monsters and familiar faces from the past that threaten to bring more violence into their lives than…
The Runaways keep trying to lead normal lives, and maybe they’ve finally got it right. It’s like Party of Five, if you remember the 1990s. But who remembers the 1990s? Time travelers, that’s who. It’s a trip back from the future in Runaways #36. Written by Rainbow Rowell, line art by Andrés Genolet, colored by Dee…
New Avengers member Storm has joined the team just in time to deal with catastrophe, and she’ll need to call in other mutants to help against this world-ending threat. A who’s-who of the Marvel Universe must unite against the supreme power of Hyperion. Find out how that goes in Avengers #18, written by Jed MacKay,…
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. A tagline long attributed to the gathered heroes known as the Avengers (one they might have given themselves, who can say). Yet, how mighty can a team of heroes be when they routinely ignore some of the most powerful beings around? Who just happens to be mutants, by the way. Don’t worry…
Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC books come out Tuesdays, everything else Wednesdays. Tony’s pick: Avengers #1: Jason Aaron’s Avengers run was bad. Jed MacKay’s Moon Knight has been very good. Can MacKay make Earth’s Mightiest Heroes worth reading again? Fingers crossed, friends. Drawn by C.F. Villa (X-Men)….
This whole article came out of a dumb joke. Just doing what fills the time, bullshitting with friends about comics. Filling time comes naturally on Mondays when the Marvel review copies drop. Out of habit, I read it all, eventually dropping the books that bore me and making sure I read the worst trash being…
The Eternals sneak into Avengers Mountain (which happens to be a dead Celestial) in an effort to find an answer to the Thanos problem in Eternals #10, written by Kieron Gillen, drawn by Esad Ribić, colored by Matthew Wilson, and lettering/design by Clayton Cowles. Karen Charm: As the great poets once sang, Zoe, “it’s been…
People only familiar with Hawkeye from his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be surprised to hear this, but Hawkeye is supposed to be a fun character. While the MCU Hawkeye is largely dour and grimacing — a family man capable of cracking the occasional wry joke, but someone who takes his job pretty…
Gather round, true believers, because it’s the publishing season we’ve all been waiting for: the time of year when Marvel preserves the trademark on its least lucrative or popular tie-in IP! This time, it’s everyone’s favorite Russian heroes like Guy in a Red Suit, Iron Man But Also Red, and, of course, Darkstar banding together…
It’s taken eleven years, eight MCU appearances, one pandemic and the death of the character, but Black Widow is finally getting her own solo film! Even better/sadder, Black Widow also represents the first MCU film entirely directed by a woman, Cate Shortland (Anna Boden previously co-directed Captain Marvel with Ryan Fleck). Thanks to her long…
It had to happen. Since their first battle in Immortal Hulk #7 nearly three years ago the Avengers had to take the fight back to the Immortal Hulk. The last time they fought, Hulk’s body was chopped up into tiny pieces and placed in sealed jars. It didn’t stop him. Now, in Immortal Hulk #47,…
