marvel comics reviews
The always impressive Olivia Coleman joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portraying a British Intelligence agent named Sonya Falsworth. While this character is an original, the Falsworth name has a history in Marvel Comics.
They manage to tie up a lot of loose ends, explain many things, and even reference their Holiday Special a few times as the Guardians suit up one last time. Maybe.
I do hear a few folks going on about “superhero fatigue,” but to me, it seems like that’s either something they really want to have happen, or they have a specific agenda.
The show opens with a damn near perfect shot for shot parody of the opening of the old Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno “The Incredible Hulk” series.
After a lot of teasing and hints, we finally get the guest star a lot of us have been waiting for. She-Hulk’s “Ribbit and Rip It,” is the first live action appearance of Leapfrog, but no, that’s not what got so many of us excited.
“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” both gives us the return of several heroes, the arguable debut of another one, and the theatrical debut of a major new villain: Kang the Conqueror.
Usually, when I review a comic book issue, it’s because it was particularly good. Sometimes, there are exceptions. This is one of those times, but it comes with a story.
This was surprisingly fun, and I was impressed at the music. There were a lot of ways for this to go wrong, and it didn’t. I’ll give this a 4 out of 5. If they do another one, I’m along for the ride.
Like many, I was stunned when Boseman died so unexpectedly, and I did not envy Marvel at all with the difficult job they had ahead of them. Recast a legend? Lose a powerful, influential character that so many look up to? There was, and still isn’t, a right answer there.
We revisit a previous storyline and meet a host of new characters at “The Retreat.”
