Star Wars #8 comic book review

In part of most Star Wars stories, there comes a point when the heroes are separated and things aren’t going great for them. This seems to be about that point. Luke, having concluded his adventure on Tatooine, is off to his next bit of chaos. Being a famous Rebel with a price on his head doesn’t make anything any easier when he tries to bargain passage to Coruscant amid the seedy bars of Nar Shaddaa. Remember his trip to the cantina in Mos Eisley? Yeah, about that good.

Moon Knight #17 review

Cullen Bunn has been playing up the mystic side of Moon Knight, and doing a great job of it. He’s shown several different aspects of the relationship between Khonshu and Marc Spector, the Moon’s Knight. A god can have many faces, and his worshippers, their own interpretations.

Yet Another Fantastic Four Movie Review

So a new movie came out this weekend. It’s called Fant4stic. Or Fant-Four-Stic. Or it might be a movie in Klingon called Fan T’Four Stic, which probably translates to “career suicide by way of a jagged dagger” or something just as violent sounding. Oh, wait, that guy on the far right looks like Marvel’s ever-lovin’ Thing! This is the Fantastic Four! That’s what this is!

Ms. Marvel #17 review

The world is ending in the Marvel Universe, and their various titles are doing their “Last Days.” In this case, Ms. Marvel gets to meet her hero, Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel/Warbird/Captain Marvel), the heroine that inspired Kamala. They work together, trying to save who they can as the end comes closer.

SHIELD #8 review

The SHIELD comic has been mirroring the tv show to an extent, with greater or lesser success. Some of the issues have been great. Last month’s and this month’s, in my humble opinion, didn’t work as well. Trying to combine the tv and comic continuity is difficult, and sometimes nearly impossible. In this issue, Phil Coulson sends Melinda May and Mockingbird out after someone who is doing some horrific surgeries.
