Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Edition

March 24, 2009 in Avengers, Comic Books, Dark Reign, Marvel, Reviews, Spider-Man, Spoiler, Wolverine, X-Men

Amazing Spider-Man #588

am588  Another not so great issue of the book, with really rushed looking artwork by the normally solid JR JR. This was the big pay off for all the plotlines since BND and it really fell flat. The only interesting part was the last page with Norman Osborne meeting Menace and welcoming her to the family. This book needs another reboot. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains.

LEAVE IT ON THE RACK.

Despite what the wraparound cover shows we do not get a "Dark" Avengers VS New Avengers showdown this issue. We start off with the New Avengers watching the introduction of the "Dark" Avengers. We then have a couple of pages of artwork where no one moves and they all continue to stare at the screen.

Amazing Spider-Man Extra #2

amx2  Two stories that are much better than most of the recent regular run of the book. We get an Anti-Venom solo story and a fun Spidey-Wolverine Team-Up. Dark, but good art in both stories. 3 out of 5 Spider-Villains.

Amazing Spider-Man #584

amsp584  Cheesy dialogue between supervillains about the importance of voting, a dated 90′s Alannis Morrisette joke, and a lackluster reveal about Menace’s ID (Harry Osborne) and the ID of the Spider Tracer Killer. The book needs a serious revamp and a steady creative team. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.

Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Extended Edition

December 30, 2008 in Avengers, Comic Books, Dark Reign, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Marvel, Secret Invasion, Spider-Man

A little more in depth reviews of this past week’s books from Marvel, rather than the usual 2-3 line quick fire format:

Featured Book :

New Avengers #48

nav48  The beginning of Dark Reign brings about another status quo change for the New Avengers as the team adds the new Captain America to their ranks, and Iron Fist takes a leave of absence. Bendis wrote a very intriguing tale this time around. Normally not much happens in this book as we are usually stuck with a bunch of talking heads, or flashbacks or side stories. This was a very enjoyable read with some nice artwork as well. Their is one other major story point and the is that Luke Cage is now ready to work for Norman Osborn in order to find his missing child. This could be a very intriguing storyline if played correctly. Overall this book earns 4 out of 5 New Avengers.

Who Are The Dark Avengers? Spoilers

December 24, 2008 in Avengers, Comic Books, Dark Reign, Marvel, News, Spoiler

darkav dark1

Based on the picture from issues 1 and  2 we seem to have the following members:

Iron Patriot who will more than likely be Norman Osborn

Spider-Man (Black) obviously Venom from the Thunderbolts

Hawkeye more than likely Bullseye from the Thunderbolts

Ms Marvel looks to be Moonstone from the Thunderbolts

Ares is Ares from the Mighty Avengers

Marvel Boy is the alternate dimension one from Secret Invasion

Wolverine will be Daken Wolverine’s Son

These appear to be the best guesses at who the new team members are.

This issue starts us off with Emma Frost receiving a letter inviting her to Avengers Mansion for a meeting with Norman Osborn. Dr. Doom is already there once she arrives and then we have the obligatory solo entrance where  everyone has their own introduction. For a moment I thought I was watching the WWE. Osborn then comes in and monologues his way through
