Spider-Man Holiday Spectacular #1 review

Now that’s a Christmas cover, worthy of a Seventies Treasury Edition. Just looking at Luciano Vecchio’s superhero snowball slugfest fills me with simple joy. And the warm fuzzies continue inside as writer Rainbow Rowell and a quartet of artists – including Vecchio – tell a tale of a very Spidey Christmas. It’s set in, basically, […]

Action Comics #1069 review

It’s the conclusion of Superman’s intergalactic boxing bout… well, boxing is understating it as punches are thrown, but so is an axe. The point is that the Man of Steel is being forced to fight other extraterrestrials, but ones with a more brutal attitude to puglisim. Luckily he has two official seconds… and an unofficial, […]

She-Hulk #8 review

Well, this could be a short one. After another gloriously glam cover from Jen Bartel we get a flashback issue, showing the backstory of Mark, the pale brute who beat She-Hulk up last issue, and wife April, she of the bulbous bonce. Once upon a time there were two young scientists who fell in love. […]

She-Hulk #7 review

It’s the morning after the night Jen Walters and Jack Hart – aka She-Hulk and Captain Nominative Determinism – finally got together. They’ve been gently falling for one another since this mini-series kicked off, while trying to solve the mystery of Jack of Hearts’ return from the dead. While it’s Saturday, the smitten kittens must […]

She-Hulk #4 review

Ben Grimm is in Jen Walters’ corner on Jen Bartel’s attractive cover and that’s the case inside the book too. Unfortunately, our favourite gamma-irradiated attorney doesn’t actually need the Thing to do any clobberin’ on her behalf. The fist belongs to Titania, recovering super-villain and frenemy of She-Hulk. The pair recently decided that their own […]

She-Hulk #2 review

The first issue of this mini-series was really rather good, and it ended with Jen Walters’ former Avengers teammate Jack of Hearts turning up at her apartment. Last time She-Hulk saw him he’d just been killed… This time Jack tells Jen he left the Avengers because he feared his tendency to absorb her gamma radiation […]

She-Hulk #1 review

Jennifer Walters has been through some changes over the past few years, but today she’s back to basics – a lawyer whose gamma-irradiated blood can take her from mouse to magnificent in seconds. It’s not all sunshine. Constant time out for superhero shenanigans has stalled Jen’s legal career, meaning she’s back to Square One, about […]
