Warhammer 40,000: Fire & Honour #4 |
Dec 22, 2008 |
All-in-all, I would not recommend this comic book. It is a definite no thank you from this months releases. |

Warhammer 40,000: Fire & Honour #3 |
Nov 13, 2008 |
All-in-all, and I am disappointed to report, this issue is a bust. The story didnt seem to qualify for its own independent issue. Had more been going on more positive things could have been said about the comic. But as is? Unless you are collecting the series, you can skip this issue all together and pick up again on issue #4. Hopefully itll be more in line with the quality of issue #2. |

Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes #1 |
Oct 28, 2008 |

City of Dust #2 |
Nov 17, 2008 |
Unfortunately, these steps were not effectuated and the writing falls just short making for a flip through read. All-in-all, this comic falls just short of forgettable and isnt something that will spark conversation. |

The Night Projectionist #1 |
Dec 27, 2008 |
All-in-all, this comic is okay, at best. Its not something that I would consider memorable or even bring up with friends to discuss. Dont be afraid to skip this comic when you head out to your local comic shop. |

X-Men / Spider-Man (2009) #3 |
Jan 13, 2009 |
All-in-all, this issue just wasn't that good. And unless you really like the art and have already started collecting the series, it's definitely something you can skip from this weeks releases. |

Batman: Cacophony #2 |
Jan 4, 2009 |
As a fan of the Joker--and, of course, there is one more issue for my mind to be changed--I cannot endorse Smiths iconoclastic decision to deface this character. Overall, I find the story (and the choices made within it) to be a contrived and cheap substitute for substance. |

Batman: Cacophony #1 |
Nov 16, 2008 |
All-in-all, Batman: Cacophony is a bittersweet issue. The dialog and art are good, but the story at this point is not as strong as I was hoping it to be, and well see how well some choices play out. If your comic shop has copies on hand, check it out, but dont really go out of your way to find it if your shop doesnt have it. |

Ultimate Spider-Man #126 |
Oct 17, 2008 |
The comics cliffhanger ending leaves the reader wondering how vast the repercussions of everything that has happened up to now will be. All-in-all, Id recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting read that wont take too much brain power. |

Ultimate Spider-Man #127 |
Oct 21, 2008 |
All-in-all, I thought this issue was a good read. But it may not be your cup-o-tea if you are looking for something that is going to challenge you intellectually. But if you're in the mood for an entertaining story with relatable characters (even if it's in fond memories) then you should check out this issue. But you shouldn't really inconvenience yourself to get it. |

Adventure Comics Special: The Guardian #1 |
Nov 14, 2008 |
All-in-all, the comic made for a good read and served as a good lesson on how subtlety in art can enhance a story. The writing was good, put without the subtlety in the most important of pages it would not have been as good. Kudos to the art team, the style wasnt overly complex but the emotions are there when they are needed the most. Id recommend picking up this issue the next time youre at your comic shop. |

Justice League of America (2006) #25 |
Oct 16, 2008 |
All-in-all, it was a good and fun read. Id recommend reading the storyline from its beginnings in Justice League of America #22, but if you cant get your hands on those copies, this issue is more than capable of standing on its own. |

Supergirl (2005) #36 |
Dec 22, 2008 |
All-in-all, this is a good issue with some significant artistic consistency problems. Would these problems not have occurred, the score probably would have been higher, but when it comes to an issue of this tone, the writing does not merit a higher score despite the art. Despite all this, thankfully, the issue is not a tangent comic and does continue the story right where the issue before it left off. Definitely check this one out if youve been following the New Krypton arc. Otherwise, its a good read, but not a must have either. |

Warhammer 40,000: Fire & Honour #2 |
Oct 24, 2008 |
Now, this series doesnt seem like it will really offer anything unique, but so far it appears to have a solid foundation and has the potential to keep the readers attention throughout the rest of this installment of the Warhammer saga. All in all, if you see it in your local comic shop and youve got some cash to spare, check it out. |

Wolverine Noir #1 |
Apr 14, 2009 |
All-in-all, it's a fun read but I dont think it'll be the best in the Marvel Noir line. I'd recommend checking out Wolverine: Noir if you've been following the new Noir line. And if you haven't, it's still a solid read. |
