Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Edition

Amazing Spider-Man #588
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
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.

Here we go with a secondary rating system in effect :
Amazing Spider-Man #582
Second part of a lackluster Molten Man return. Not much going on in this book due to revolving creative teams. Only stunt covers appear to be the saving this book from horrible sales numbers. (I’m looking at you Colbert and Obama variants). 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.

Indie books either tonight or tomorrow.
Captain America #44
A flashback to a Winter Soldier moment in China, and Cap VS Batroc the Leaper. Good Pacing, Good Art. Overall 4 out of 5 New Avengers. 
Daredevil # 113
Lady Bullseye continues with the "death" of the White Tiger. Artwork is hit and miss, Brubaker is a very solid storyteller. 3 out of 5 Marvel Zombies.
Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes #1 (of 2)
November 2, 2008 in Marvel, Reviews
COVER BY: Simone Bianchi
WRITER: Warren Ellis
PENCILS: Alan Davis, Frank Cho
Wow, where to begin. This is a summary book of sorts that interviews the mutant from a parallel dimension that showed up in the first few parts of the new run of Astonishing X-Men. He summarizes the take over of the Marvel Universe (Earth 616) and this story only lasts about 10 pages. The second story in the book shows us Earth 889 which is a pretty lame attempt at putting the X-Men in for the characters in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It is a pre-digital world, yet somehow Cyclops still has ruby quartz goggles, while the rest of the X-Men move about in the late 1800′s. This is another very short story. The rest of the book is filled up with writer notes and sketches. They could have just eliminated all of the fluff and turned this into a one-shot or even part of the regular series. So for $3.99 you get 16 pages of actual story, and the other half of the book is filler and ads. For that reason alone I have to give this book 0 out of 5 X-Men.
