Catch the Mean Girls reference in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Marvel’s Giant-Size House of M #1
House of M, the Marvel event in which the Scarlet Witch, then a mutant and the daughter of Magneto, rewrites reality to create a world where Magneto rules and mutants are the dominant social class, turns 20 this year, which doesn’t sound right but is also painfully true. Also more than 20 years old? The…
Back to the grind in Wolverine #9

Two Wolverines and a Nightcrawler face off against Constrictor, Cyber and Deathstrike in a clash of the adamantium titans. If Logan can’t beat them, will he join them?

Wendigo cub, yes, adamantium plot, no, in Marvel’s Wolverine #4
The return of the villainous Constrictor means trouble for Wolverine, but more than Logan could possibly realize. What’s wrong with Constrictor, and what does it mean for Wolverine’s future … and past?

Wolverine #3 Does Lone Wolf and Cub with a Wendigo, to pleasing effect.
As reviewers, we often have access to issues a few days — sometimes week — ahead of time, depending on the publisher and the particular issue. Gives us time to really soak things in and perhaps revisit them a few times before putting proverbial pen to paper and recording our thoughts. As I cracked open…
Wolverine #2 queues up Wendigo as the series keeps playing the hits
Still in in the wild, Wolverine experiences more blasts from the past as he has to evade both Department H and Wendigo! But this new Wendigo isn’t all that he seems in Wolverine #2 written by Salad Ahmed, drawn by Martîn Cóccolo, colors by Bryan Valenza, and letters by Cory Petit! From the ashes, a…
Logan gets back to nature in Wolverine by Ahmed and Coccolo
Krakoa took a lot out of Logan, especially toward the end. So it makes sense he’d want to get away for a little bit, hide out from society, maybe run around with some wolves even though he’s named after a cousin of the ferret. Thus begins the new Wolverine series by writer Saladin Ahmed (Daredevil)…
Miles Morales #40 Disappoints Across the Multiverse
Using the magic of science (science!), mysticism and a few bored brains (ok, one bored brain), I’ve managed to connect with Jude from universe 777-9311 for a joint review of Miles Morales #40. Continue to read…if you dare! (Maniacally cryptic music plays in background) 616 Jude: …so you’re telling me where you’re from, housing is…
Miles Morales #39 Doesn’t Ask the Questions it Should
Miles Morales #39 doesn’t really ask a lot of questions – not explicitly. I’d argue it’s not concerned with asking or pausing at all – this issue is about momentum. And you know, that’s okay. Sometimes you can’t do and think at the same time. Sometimes doing is enough. And Miles Morales #39 does quite…
Miles Morales #37 Hides the Full Man Behind his Mask
It’s a large world, yes, but it’s also very small. I find that niche communities— say, I don’t know, comic review sites, dispersed around the world as they may be— cultivate a connected community. So as a member of this connected comics community, I’ve been more than tangentially aware of a few illustrators and writers…
Is Miles Morales #36 All the Title Has to Give?
It begins with a ping in my pocket. It’s Monday afternoon, a little bit after 3 EST. A Slack notification has gone off, and lo and behold, our comic collection for the week has dropped. I work a full time job (thank goodness, despite how I feel in the mornings), so I can’t always read…
Miles Morales #35 is Good… But Feels Like A Letdown
Miles Morales #35 concludes one arc and leads into another. As the Assessor and Quantum return to wreak havoc on Miles’ life, he and Shift have to seek out some unlikely allies. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #35 written by Saladin Ahmed, drawn by Michele Bandini and Luigi Zagaria, inked by Michele Bandini, Elisabetta D’Amico, and Luigi…
