Avengers (2012) #20

Sep 30, 2013

Now given the amount of story and pages being told, a $3.99 price tag doesn't seem like a lot. You are getting more story for you buck with the Infinity event and Avengers #20 is no exception.

Batgirl (2011) #24

Oct 14, 2013

Solid issue for Simone andPasarin as they make a pretty great team. Batgirl continues to be that book each month that manages to surprise me and i'm very much looking forward to the wrap up of the “Batgirl: Wanted” story arc.

Eternal Warrior (2013) #1

Sep 23, 2013

Over all this is a solid book with the potential to epic. Let's just hope that Pak take some risks and give us a story we haven't seen before.

FBP: Federal Bureau Of Physics #4

Oct 16, 2013

Overall and very solid issue and strong conclusion that sets up the next arc nicely. The only draw back, was that it felt a bit rushed in parts with the story, but it's only slightly irritating in the grand scheme of the story. This series is one of the stand out titles from Vertigo that should be on everyone's reading list.

Green Arrow (2011) #23.1

Sep 5, 2013

Over all, Lemire and Sorrentino have a very solid and interesting story in telling the New 52 origin of Count Vertigo that is a quick and easy read that doesn't tie-in to Forever Evil, but is rather a side story from the current Green Arrow story.

Green Arrow (2011) #24

Oct 3, 2013

Lemire and Sorrentino are doing a great job on this book and I hope this team keeps up the great work. I'm interested in seeing where they take Olie from here.

Justice League Dark #24

Oct 30, 2013

Justice League Dark continues to impress, despite writer change. Twist and the end leaves me to wanting more.

Savage Wolverine #9

Oct 9, 2013

With that said, the story itself doesn't really standout, it's the art that shines and carries this issue. Simply put, the story itself isn't very memorable, nor does it stand out from previous issues. It's a quick read with beautiful art, so it's worth picking up.

Savage Wolverine #10

Oct 30, 2013

Can the art carry the book? In this case, it's a toss up.The story itself seems to be a lacking of any progression. We still don't know much and there is only one chapter left in the arc. The lack of dialogue doesn't help move the story along and the the narration that is there is just a vague as the story. With one chapter left, I get the feeling that the final act could be rushed and crowed with an explanation, but I have no doubt the book will be just as stunning as the first two chapters.

Superior Carnage #3

Sep 23, 2013

I'm on the fence with this series, but given the ending I want to see what happens next month.

Uncanny #3

Aug 30, 2013

If not for the art, this issue might come off as being any typical comic book about people with abilities, but the art continues to impress and knowing Diggle, there is sure to be a surprise down the road. I just hope he doesn't wait too long.

Wolverine and the X-Men #36

Sep 26, 2013

Overall, excellent issue that fits in nicely with the rest of the event. Inconsistent art does hurt it a bit and Im disappointed in the lack of imagination from Camuncoli on the battle scenes. But the story and the cliffhanger are enough to carry this issue and for those reading the event, this is a must have.

Zero #1

Sep 23, 2013

The idea behind Zero is that a different artist will draw each issue to represent the many different missions Zero will go on in his telling of this story. Bellaire will remain on all the issues doing the colors, which should help to tie the issue together.This is a bold move, that could come back to bite them in the end, but sometimes you have to take a few risks in comics.
