Nicholas Turner Comic Reviews

*For those of you who can't remember or weren't aware, Big Willie Style is the name of Will Smith's 1997 album that featured the song ‘Miami'. My inner five year old still finds that album's title hilarious.

“Avengers” may have been let down by its focus on a character whose role is seemingly small in the universal scheme of things. Although, there is still enough intrigue in this comic to carry on with this monumental series. It is definitely worth buying both of these Avengers titles. Time is running out and you'll want to be there when it does.

Having Bucky become the strings that hold this expansive universe together is an interesting idea, although it is yet to be properly utilized in the series. The art is the main reason to get this issue. This collaboration has a crazy amount of potential and this issue has definitely not deterred me from reading future adventures involving “Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier.”

“AXIS” not only added some really interesting character development to this issue, but at the same time held back the narrative. These tie-ins aren't over yet by a long shot so let's hope the series can continue to use the strengths of this cross over and also work on the weaknesses.

As Remender ends the issue with one of his signature cliff hangers (Another Remenderism), it is clear that Tocchini's art is beginning to mesh more effectively with the chaotic world that is still unfolding before us. One of the most intriguing collaborations in the business has become more confident as a team, as can be seen in the growing lucidity of their storytelling.

All in all, Nailbiter's strengths can be seen when its exploring it's own premise: the mystery of Buckaroo. Due to its strong creative team it continues to be a comic dripping in atmosphere.

You have to admit that this is one of the series that everybody is talking about. It goes to show the power of the story in which people are still debatingthe ethics of all the characters involved. This really is a morally gray series for people out there wanting more complexity to their blockbuster stories.

“ODY-C” is completely different to every other project Matt Fraction has been on. It is an even more poetic and radical interpretation that will please fans of the old classic and will entice new readers into finding out more about this tenet of western canon. Fraction has recently departed from his Marvel comics and has begun to focus entirely on his own creator owned comics. “ODY-C” is definitely one his new ventures to keep an eye on.

This series is going places, both figuratively and literally. After finding out that this is only the first volume of three, my anticipation for these next two volumes in incomprehensible. This is a series that, in my personal opinion, pulled off the poignant theme of man's fate in the universe far better than Interstellar, due to its unyielding approach to the idea. Nothing here is sugar-coated. Once again, this series is going places and I hope more of you come along for the ride.

Rumble's first issue may have fumbled in its attempt to entice people into its universe, but it would be foolish to give up on it so soon. The book's art team alone is a captivating reason to jump on this series and given the chance, John Arcudi may just reveal the true potential hidden in the series.

It seems the news surrounding Jonathan Hickman's blockbuster event have been focusing on the sporadic scheduling instead of the content. Which comes as a shame, seeming as Secret Wars is shaping up to be one of Marvel's preeminent events. All we can do now is hope that Secret Wars' legacy won't be mired in it's, albeit frustrating, delays.

It's the penultimate issue in this arc and it all seems to building up to… something, but I know I'm excited. This is a comic which can be a lot more gratifying being read together. Unless you're an avid fan who eagerly awaits each issue, it is probably worth waiting for the next break in the story to really delve into this second arc of Sex Criminals.

It's somewhat of a travesty having another fun and entertaining series come to an end. The fact that this is one out of the twocheapest Marvel books at the moment (The other being Ms. Marvel) shows the discouraging direction Marvel is taking the pricing of their comics. With only two issues left to go (The blue file!), we can see that Soule's run on the She-Hulk may have been short, but still a great series nonetheless.

Right now is a great point for any new readers who want to join in on these absurdly amusing exploits. So if your a fan of “Doctor Who” and Jack Kirby… Why the hell aren't you reading this book?!

The amalgamation of this partnership is nothing short of perfect. Jason Aaron and Jason Latour have returned some of that much needed grit to a place that has had its reputation tarnished by reality shows and family friendly commercialization. This is how the South should be represented. Now, come get some BBQ ribs.

Soule and the rest of Lando's brilliant creative team deliver an interesting first issue that is a must buy for fans of the titular character. Although the story wasn't as riveting as some of the other Star Wars books currently on the stands, it's ending does manage to raise the stakes in an intriguing way.

“Terrible Lizard” is definitely a treat for anyone hoping to find an all agescomic amidst thedarker and less friendly titles out there. Even though Bunnhimself contributes his fair share to the plethora of cynicalcomics, his writing here has shown him to be multifaceted and also adept at writing comics for everyone to enjoy.

“The Fade Out” is really delivering on its enticingpremise, with such a dedicated approach to its characters, story, and setting. This is definitely one of the best crime comics out there today, handled with great enthusiasm by one of the best creative teams out there today. If you are a fan of the genre, I implore you to read this title.

Overall, the third issue of Wytchescontinues to be a comic that is truly sinister and unsettling. Not much for plot progression, but this issue's potency comes from its character development and its insane aesthetics. Wytches is hands down one of the best horror comics out at the moment and is a must read for fans of the genre.
