Vitriol the Hunter #1
Feb 21, 2013 |
Vitriol the Hunter #1 is very much a comic I read so youwouldn'thave to. Its energetic but uninspired and in its attempts to be original it just comes across as more clich. In short its really not worth your time or money. |

Great Pacific #1
Nov 19, 2012 |
If the teaser art is anything to go by Harris and Morazzohave a lot of cool things in store for this book and I have a strong feeling that it will pick up in future issues. That said it stilldoesn'tmake issue one any easier to read. |

Great Pacific #2
Dec 8, 2012 |
Overall, I did enjoy Great Pacific #2;not a lot mind you, but enough to make me want to keep reading. Even with all its artistic and writing issues this book really does contain a certain spark of potential that makes it hard to put down. |

Captain America (2012) #2
Dec 21, 2012 |
This by no means a must read but if you like Captain America, or even just a fan of Romitas artwork,I'mconfident you find something to like here. Its a good book, just not a great one. |

Captain America (2012) #4
Feb 23, 2013 |
The real problem with Captain America #4, and to be frank Remender and Romitas run on the series, is that Remenders direction and Romitas art dont gel with each other or the character. Remender is trying to tell a survival-driven and gritty sci-fi story and neither Captain America nor Romitas artwork fit the bill. Romitas artwork could be described as many things but gritty is certainly not one of them. Characters that should look intimidating and frighting instead look goofy. It all feels way too much like Captain America in space and as much as I want to get behind the series I must admit I'm really struggling. |

Nova (2013) #1
Feb 21, 2013 |
For the most part I enjoyed Nova#1. Its by no means an excellent comic but its good enough for a quick hit of action and a few laughs. Its Loeb doing what Loeb does best. Coupled with McGuiness unique but colourful visuals, Loebs story really does come to life and although its not enough to convert the many Loeb cynics, Nova #1is not a bad start. |

Supurbia Vol. 2 #1
Nov 21, 2012 |
Just Like the Heroes itportrays, Suburbiais flawed but lovable with an undeniable appeal and ‘reality Tv' addictiveness to it.Overall Issue #1 is a good read, and easily one of Booms strongest titles. Although the series is still very much finding its feet at this stage, as far asI'mconcerned Randolph is succeeding to deliver a bold new take on the superhero genre that will especially resonate with female readers. |

Supurbia Vol. 2 #2
Dec 16, 2012 |
Although Supurbia still has some teething issues with Randolph and Dauterman both lacking in comic book writing and illustrating experience respectively, it's a solid book. Even when compared to some of the stellar titles being released by Marvel and DC, Supurbia can for the most part hold its own. What it lacks in polish and precision this book makes up for in pure energy, originality and passion. |

Supurbia Vol. 2 #3
Jan 9, 2013 |
However, even with this pacing problem Supurbia #3 is a stand out issue for all the right reasons. In Supurbia #3 Randolph delivers darker story twists and a more mature tone without detracting from the playfulness and humour of the earlierinstallments. In particular the Helen Heart and Sovereign storyline really took me by surprise not only with its outcome (which I honestly didn't see coming) but also with the disturbing insight it provides into the relationship between the two characters. |

Supurbia Vol. 2 #4
Feb 20, 2013 |
After the intensity and near perfection of Supurbia #3, issue #4 can't help but seem a little dull in comparison. It's not that it's a bad issue " quite the opposite. It's just very much an expected slump after a packed previous issue. If you're already reading Supurbia then obviously you'll want to pick this one up as it contains a lot of key plot points but if you're a new reader then this really isn't the place to jump on. |

Indestructible Hulk #2
Dec 21, 2012 |
So whether youre not a Hulk fan (like I was when I picked up issue #1) or you are a long time reader, you really will find something to love in Indestructible Hulk. Just Like Hulk and Banner, Waid and Yu really are a force to be reckoned with and have created one of the best titles to come out of Marvel NOW. |

Avengers (2012) #1
Dec 6, 2012 |
This book is easily the best thing to come out of Marvel Now, and deserves every piece of hype it gets. Hickman and Opena simultaneously bring the team back to its roots while charging forth in a new and unique direction. There is absolutely no doubt that the Avengers are in good hands. |

The Legend of Luther Strode #1

The Legend of Luther Strode #1 is a challenging and provocative read. Although by no means perfect, it really hit all the right notes and I am eagerly awaiting issue number two. |

The Legend of Luther Strode #2
Jan 13, 2013 |
Luther Strode is challenging, funny, visually stunning and just a good old-fashioned entertaining read! It would be an injustice for me to give it anything less than five out of five. |

The Legend of Luther Strode #3
Feb 27, 2013 |
I know I say this every month, but I still feel like people stillaren'tgetting the message: READ THIS BOOK. Admittedly some younger and less deranged readers may understandably pass due to the graphic nature of the series but thats no excuse for the rest of you! If you can handle the gore check out The Legend of Luther Strode.I know you wont be disappointed. |
