Chris Mailloux Comic Reviews

With fantastic art, a strong story and great dialogue, Age of Ultron is off to a great start. Even though it may cause some confusion or problems with new readers, I absolutely enjoyed the first entry and I'm very excited for the next book. The best part about crossovers is seeing all of these heroes work together in situations they don't want to be in. Age of Ultron works by showing how horrible the world has become and how much many of the heroes we all know have changed. I definitely recommend picking up the book and think Bendis and Hitch are off to a fantastic start.

Age of Ultron continues to be strong and I'm very excited about this crossover. Bendis has been planning this for a long time and so far it has been worth the wait. I definitely recommend this series so far and I'm hoping Venom might make a cameo in it eventually.

OveralL: The series has had built up some great momentum but I found that the ending slowed it down dramatically. I'm definitely curious as to what happens next but I was hoping for some more time on Mars. It's a really good issue overall and if you want an Avengers book that's more action than story I'd definitely recommend this one.

In the end I really didn't enjoy this issue as much as the last one. It had some good points but overall the story was average and didn't really connect that well with the previous issue. At points it felt like I was reading a different book almost. I'm still interested to see what happens next though and hopefully the quality of the next issue sees a return in quality like that of issue 3.

This issue was really enjoyable and I liked reading about Izzy. The action was rendered well and looked really good but felt like it went by way too fast. This issue was definitely better than the last one and it keeps improving from here. I really loved the series early on but it started to decline at the third book. The fifth issue was a refreshing glimpse of hope that has me looking forward to the next.

Overall: I'd have to say this is one of the better books to come out of Marvel Now! it's an interesting story with some really great art. If you've been wanting to get into Captain America, now would be a perfect time.

This issue of Deadpool is packed with jokes, fighting, killing, jokes, killing and Deadpool. It all comes down to if you're a fan of Wade Wilson or not, if you are though definitely pick up with book.

This story line has definitely been interesting and fit really well with Deadpool. I'm looking forward to what the writers have planned and where the Preston story line will go from here. In the end it was a funny and interesting story line and as always, it is awesome to read about Deadpool killing things.

In the end it's a good start to the series and has a lot of potential. The story itself is interesting enough for you to give it a shot.

Guardians of the Galaxy is off to an amazing start and I absolutely can't wait for the next issue. The book is also serving as a perfect introduction for people who don't really know much about the team and looks to aim to help them prepare for the upcoming movie. One thing is for sure I'm looking forward to Star-Lord and his team on their adventures.

If you want to read a book with great dialogue, great characters, great story and great art this is the book you should be reading. Also it leaves me wanting a Hawkeye movie even more.

This was another really strong Hawkeye book and if you're still not reading this I truly recommend you check this series out. Even if you're not the biggest fan of Hawkeye I think there's something for almost everyone to enjoy here.

Indestructible Hulk is a book you should really read even if you're not a Hulk fan. I've never been a huge fan of the Hulk but I do enjoy the character. In the end this book has actually made me like the character a little more and I'm definitely excited for the next issue.

If you want an Avengers book that brings together a good cast of characters with a great story and fantastic art, this is definitely a book you should check out.

This book keeps getting better and better. Once again if you want a book with a great story definitely check this out but beware the lack of fighting. If you could only add a few Marvel Now! titles to your pull list I definitely recommend you add this one.

In the end the book didn't really leave me excited for the next issue but I didn't hate it. Overall I'd say it's average and if you're a fan of Wolverine check it out you might like it.

Remender definitely created an amazing run with Secret Avengers; making Hawkeye the new leader and bringing Venom onto the team are two decisions that definitely made me excited. I'm curious how the Marvel Now! version of Secret Avengers will turn out. One thing is for sure I'm definitely going to miss Remender's run on this book!

In the end I really enjoyed the book and only had a couple issues with it. So far the series is off to a very good start and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book.

Overall I've been trying to have an open mind about this book but I just really didn't enjoy it. It had some things that I did like and overall I didn't hate it. The humour though was really pushed on you and I just didn't enjoy the art. I'd say it's a below average book in my opinion and hopefully it improves in the next one.

It was a small improvement over the last issue but I still find myself hoping for a better book and a better Spider-Man. It was nice to have 'spirit Peter' not nagging Otto all the time.

Overall I definitely recommend this book for the story alone. The art -colouring to be more specific, could use some fixing up but besides that I definitely enjoyed this book.

Uncanny X-Force is off to a good start and makes an alright successor to Remender's work. The team looks interesting and I look forward to seeing what happens with the story.

Despite some issues, Uncanny X-Men is off to a great start. I'm excited for the next book and I think this series has a lot of potential. I definitely recommend checking it out if you want to add another Marvel Now! title to your file.

I can't lie, Venom is my favorite comic book character. So not everyone will enjoy this book as much as me but overall though ever since Flash became the new host for the symbiote things have gotten really interesting. If you want a good anti-hero story definitely check this series out and now is a really good starting point since Flash is moving to a new place with what looks to be a new cast of supporting characters.

In the end this was a really strong issue of Venom. Flash beat up bad guys, Venomed (Is that a word? It is now!) out on purpose, and he used more of the potential his suit has. I'm very excited to see Toxin's return and I'm looking forward to the next issue.
