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.

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 Obama Edition

January 21, 2009 in Comic Books, Dark Reign, News, Reviews, Spider-Man, Spoiler

Amazing Spider-Man #583

amsp583 The main story in the issue features Peter Parker going out on a series of blind dates. Even though Mark Waid is usually a great writer this story is very boring. The only reason this book sold any copies at all is due to the back up 5 page story featuring an assassination attempt by the Chameleon on President Obama. The resolution requires that the Chameleon has never seen basketball in his life and is pretty lame. The book earns 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains, but you should still  Put It on the Stack. Since you can save it as a memento or flip it on ebay.

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.
