All-New Wolverine Annual #1

Aug 31, 2016

If you haven’t been following All-New Wolverine that’s ok, this is a great jumping on point. The annual is so much fun and stands on it’s own really well without needing much back story. This is a must read issue and a must read series. We are going to be heading into Enemy of the State II and it’s sure to be a wild ride so hop on now and hold on for dear life!

Inferno (2021) #1

Sep 29, 2021

Overall, Inferno is a triumphant success even with only one issue out. It's so exciting and there is so much packed into this oversized issue. Many questions are finally answered but then, so many more questions are asked. This Inferno burns hot, but I'm just so captivated by its brilliance that I just can't take my eyes off of it.

Tank Girl: Gold #1

Sep 28, 2016

I loved this book and can’t express it enough. I highly recommend it if you enjoy silly and fun books. If you haven’t been following Tank Girl go pick up Two Girls One Tank so you are up to date with the current story and then check this one out. You wont be disappointed. Now excuse me while I go watch the movie because I need me some more Tank Girl!

Tank Girl: Gold #2

Dec 2, 2016

If you are a fan of Deadpool, Squirrel Girl or Harley Quinn you should definitely check out Tank Girl. Most of those characters creators go their influnce for them from Tank Girl. She is the original odd ball and this new series is absolutely hilarious. I highly recommend going and picking it up.

Tank Girl: Gold #3

Dec 20, 2016

This is a must buy issue of Tank Girl. I've always been a big fan of Jet Girl so it's great to have an issue thats centered around her and her shenanigans. This is also a great book for new readers. It stands on it's own and isn't affected by the main story. I do encourage you to pick up the first two issue as well.

House of X #1

'House of X' is bold, risky, unconventional, but also absolutely genius. I have been reading X-Men since I was a kid and I am so elated with joy! This is my X-Men and they’re back! I honestly believe House of X is a huge contender to be the best book you read all year, it’s that good.

Bullseye (2017) #1

Feb 1, 2017

Wow this was a great book and the only thing I could fault it for is that it is only a miniseries and not a ongoing series. But can you really fault a book for that? This is such an exciting book and shows Bullseye at his best. I have missed him from the Daredevil books and it's nice to be able to see him again. This may be only a five issue miniseries but I highly suggest you pick it up.

Powers of X #1

Jul 31, 2019

Hickman even though he is throwing so much at us and is not really giving any real answers, manages to keep you captivated. This world is so lush and heavy that you can't help but be pulled right in. The futures are unique, but also feel like they are familiar as well. That no matter what the X-Men do it is their destiny to end up in the same place or somewhere similar it seems. That being said, this is a powerhouse series you should be reading.

I also enjoy seeing characters we have known for years, but this version of them is different. We all wondered what Apocalypse’s role would be in this story. Even though we have seen some of him, I find myself still wondering if he will become a villain or because of the universe change, will he be more of an anti-hero now? I guess we will have to wait and see.

This was another huge success for the teams behind ResurreXion. The X-Men are definitely back and I am overwhelmingly ecstatic. If you enjoyed X-Men Gold then you should definitely pick this one up. Its more reminiscent of the early days of the X-Men of 1963, where Gold was very reminiscent of the 1990s. I love how they have taken the formula of the comics from those eras and delivered that with a modern twist and fresh new stories.

Some people see Bendis name on a book and write it off immediately because his past is littered with some great books but also many terrible ones. This series is one of the great ones. I was hesitant at first but I'm really enjoying it and highly recommend picking it up. Doom is such a great character and so far Bendis is delivering a solid story. Go pick this one up!

Jessica Jones #1

Oct 5, 2016

The series “Alias” ended because Bendis said he felt he had told what he wanted with Jessica and was ready to move on. Well it’s great that from the popularity of the Netflix show he was willing to come back and give us some more stories to enjoy. I can’t wait to see where he takes this series; it’s going to be intense especially with a pissed off Luke Cage in the mix so you’re not going to want to miss it!

Overall this is an adequate instalment to the ‘X-Force’ series. It’s one of the weaker issues but still gives us a fun mission to see the team go out on. There is heavy commentary by Beast which lends to an insight of how he runs the team. Not explosive, but still an enjoyable read.

The creative team got lost in the middle and then scrambled at the end to tie it all up for the upcoming Age of X-Man Omega. If you have been following the mini-series, definitely pick this one up. It's still a good read and you might be happy to have some of these burning questions finally answered.

Overall this is a sleeper hit that you shouldn’t miss. This book is going to take us to dark places, pull no punches, and I for one do not want off this ride.

Fallen Angels (2019) #3

Dec 12, 2019

Overall this issue shows that the series is suffering from the intense release schedule. It’s rushed and poorly done. What was once one of the better series in ‘Dawn of X’ is now becoming one of the worst.

Web of Black Widow #1

Sep 4, 2019

Overall this issue is a mixed bag. I think it’s far too soon to make a judgement call on the series. This first book is a fun read, but it is not without its problems. Will we get something new and fresh, or will this just be more of the same? We can only wait and see, but if you like Black Widow then pick it up.

Web of Black Widow #2

Oct 9, 2019

Overall this is a Black Widow story by the numbers. It’s a good read, quick but with no substance. If you like the character you might find something to enjoy here. Just don’t expect any ground breaking storytelling.

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto (2021) #1

Aug 18, 2021

Overall, the Trial of Magneto starts off a little rocky. There is potential here but the obvious red herring of the trial works against the book. Also, it just feels like its missing something and it's too fast of a pace that it fails to capture any of the magic that writer Leah Williams injected into X-Factor. Those that are in dire need to know what happened to Scarlet Witch will find something to enjoy here. Others though could probably just wait for the synopsis of what happened after the event is over unless in the next few issues the book changes course and delivers something truly engaging.

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto (2021) #2

Sep 15, 2021

Overall, the second issue in this series delivers pretty on par to what the first issue gave us. This issue like the last leans heavily into raw emotions. Though while doing so I felt some of the characterizations ended up being off and that took me out of the story.

Age Of X-Man: X-Tremists #1

Feb 27, 2019

Overall this is one I think at this point you could miss. There may be something important in future issues but in my opinion Age of X-Man is losing its luster. We have two great and two not so great series in the event so far. This one I think is an unfortunate pass.

Age Of X-Man: X-Tremists #2

Psylocke and the Blob really shine above all the others in this book. I think this one could finally get interesting and so for that I recommend checking it out.

Cable (2017) #1

May 31, 2017

Overall this book just exudes average. Hopefully in the next issue or two it will really pull us into the story and give us something to really be excited for. For now I'm just happy that this series is just monthly because if it was a twice monthly book like many of the other new X-books it really would be a let down then. I'm going to give this one a few more issues to see if it finds it's groove but as first issues go this one was just plain average.

Nova (2016) #1

If you're a big fan of Nova you will probably really enjoy this issue. I am new to Nova and their part of the Marvel Universe, and in turn felt a little lost. There was just not enough to help out a new reader. That being said it was an alright start and maybe it will pick up in future issues. But will that be too late?

The Unstoppable Wasp #1

Jan 4, 2017

All-New Wolverine #12

Sep 21, 2016

We are only a few issues into Enemy of the State II and unfortunately I have to say pass on it. The series is not what it used to be and this story arc has little to nothing to do with the original Enemy of the State which is a disappointment. Maybe it will pick itself back up and get better, but I'm not holding my breath.

Superman (2016) #13

Weapon X (2017) #3

May 10, 2017

So far Weapon X has been the worst of the ResurreXion titles. This issue was a lot better than the first two issues but it's still not good enough mainly due to the artwork. With the title heading into a crossover it could make or break the series.In my honest opinion though I don't think this series is worth investing in to follow it through the upcoming crossover.

Mar 21, 2019

Overall I was hoping this book would get better because it did show promise but unfortunately it was a huge let down. While it's not a terrible read it just has nothing exciting about it and the struggles Nightcrawler is going through just comes across as apathetic. A few of the other books in the event even though they are not good are important to the overall arcing story so they are a must read, this one though shows no sign of having any impact on the main story so you could skip it altogether if you wanted. Sorry Nightcrawler fans but this book is just so boring.

Cage (2016) #1

Oct 5, 2016

This book isn’t pulling any punches, and really is just trying to make you laugh. That being said one would question why we even needed this mini-series. With the Netflix show being so popular, it could have led to the possibility of Luke getting a successful solo series again. But instead we are being given this over the top farce that makes the character look like a big dumb oaf. With so many books being pumped out and Marvel Now! in full swing, this book might just get lost in the mix as most readers will be looking for something with a little more substance.

Black Widow: Widow's Sting (2020) #1

Overall this book is one giant cliche. There is nothing original about it, right down to the surprise of who Major X is at the end of the issue. With so many X-Men books on the market right now that are really good, this one will just get lost in the mix. If you have read every other current x-book and still need more, then find some back catalog you haven't read and skip this altogether. This is a hard pass.
