Uncanny Avengers #26 review

The Secret Empire having been crushed, the Unity team of Avengers and X-Men would like to catch a breath, but there’s tension in the air. Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, had been possessed by the Demon Chthon – not for the first time – and fought on the side of an evil Captain America. Her brother […]

Justice League of America #7 review

It’s a downtime day for Batman’s Justice League of America. The Caped Crusader is at headquarters checking out the work of weapons maker turned Secret Sanctuary fixer-upper Xenos.

Justice League of America #1 review

Batman and Vixen are patrolling Gotham, with literal super-model Mari McCabe demonstrating that the only animal she’s not down with is bull. Black Canary and the Ray are helping victims of a blaze.

The Vision #9 review

I read my comics digitally these days and when I get to the end of an issue, I’m invited to rate the book. I’m not a great one for rating comics, preferring to let words do the work, but touching the Comixology stars changes their colour. And that just makes me happy. Yes, I am […]

The Vision #5 review

I’m It’s dinner time and The Vision receives a knock on the door from the police department. They want to talk to him in connection with the killing of a schoolmate of son Vin. If the Vision knows wife Virginia is responsible for Chris Kinzky’s death, he’s in deep denial. Either way, he answers the […]

Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat #1 review

Patsy Walker, former teenage star, Avenger, Defender and Satan’s daughter-in-law detects trouble with her ability to sense supernatural energy. She intercepts Ian Soo, who’s just used his brand new telekinetic power to steal cash from a security van. He’s hardly A-grade villain material – he thinks the name Telekinian is clever as heck and has […]

Daredevil #1 review

Daredevil is back in the dark. He’s swapped sunny San Francisco for gloomy New York, he’s wearing black, and everyone this side of Foggy Nelson has forgotten his secret identity. Matt Murdock’s best friend is back in the Big Apple too, and far from delighted that he’s immediately dragged back into the Man Without Fear’s […]

The Vision #1 review

The Vision has embarked upon a project. The synthezoid Avenger has tried to build the perfect family. Literally. He’s made a synthezoid wife, Virginia, and children, Viv and Vin. They live in the suburbs, in a commuter community handy for Vision’s new job as Avengers liaison to the President. The Visions are getting to know […]
