Ironheart: the other metal superhero

Marvel-Verse: Ironheart by Eve L. Ewing and various

Another book in the Marvel-Verse graphic novel series I found is Marvel-Verse: Ironheart by Eve L. Ewing, Brian Michael Bendis, Kevin Libranda, Luciano Vecchio, Marco Rudy, Nico Leon and a few others. I hadn’t planned on writing another Marvel review (even though I have read two of the baddies, Marvel-Verse: Kang and Marvel-Verse: Kraven the Hunter, plus two of the Guardians of the Galaxy comics: Marvel-Verse: Rocket & Groot and Marvel-Verse: Guardians of the Galaxy. But honestly, I was not as impressed with them as I had […]

Naomi Season One (TV Tie-In by Brian Michael Bendis

June 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am glad I was not the only one who was not completely taken with this graphic novel. The Goodreads reviews were averaging two and three for scores. Naomi Season One has almost nothing original to it. It was created to have representation of a person of color as the main character. It is filled with clichés, and steals Superman’s origin story (alien from another world, left on Earth). Naomi even learns of her alien heritage in a cave. Her white adoptive parents are typical, […]

House of M (2005) 3/5 stars I don’t follow comics. I used to, when I was a teenager, but that was more than a couple years ago now. I have generally watched the movies, though, and have mostly enjoyed the MCU. Comics have a pretty big nostalgia factor for me, so I’ve frequently “tried” getting back into them, and have had varying degrees of success. In light of that, I’ve always kind of wanted to read Civil War, and was aware of the story-line […]

Daredevil in the Detail

January 15, 2018 by Thumper Leave a Comment

I polished off Daredevil: End of Days in one go. There is a hook in the very beginning that isn’t answered until the very end and it was definitely the curiosity to know the meaning of a whispered word that kept the midnight oil burning. I don’t have any particular affinity with Daredevil. I didn’t come across the character much in my youth. I remember a Spider-Man-Daredevil comic cross-over I must have got as a freebie somewhere and I had no interest in the Ben […]

Not exactly like the TV show, but still very good

December 30, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

From the blurb: Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed superhero…but not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, Jessica Jones never found her niche. Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic with a mean inferiority complex, Jones is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations – a small, private-investigative firm specialising in superhuman cases. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero’s true […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
