I wanted to like this, so so much. But I had so many problems with it, and ultimately didn’t enjoy myself while reading. Like a lot of people (non-comics nerds mostly), I was introduced to Black Panther and T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War. His appearance in that movie was great (one of the highlights of an already fun movie), and it left me excited for his solo movie. And then of course Ta-Nehisi Coates signs up as a writer for the comics, and that’s […]
SNIKT
This is one of the comics that makes me love comics. Wolverine is a collection of Wolverine’s first solo series. It was written and illustrated by comic titans Chris Claremont (Days of Future Past) and Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil). The writing is terse and largely comprised of Wolverine’s stream of thought. The art is simple yet moody. As Claremont explains in the introduction, the book elevates Wolverine from an animalistic berserker to a complete and compelling character. While I love Hugh Jackman […]
After Watching Logan This Weekend…Perfect Balm for All Those Feelings
If you haven’t watched the movie Logan yet, look away! The character we follow in this All New Wolverine issue is Laura. We get to see her as she steps up to be the new Wolverine, while still being mentored by our Logan (who is now gone). In this first issue, we see that Laura has doubts about who she is and what she is doing. She feels like a monster and just a killing machine. When she gets knocked out, she apparently gets some […]
Great for Kamala, not so great for Carol.
I will admit I was prepared to dislike this. I read a couple of reviews that gave the plot away, and it made me angry and nervous (more on this below). I shouldn’t have *really* worried. As she did with that whole Secret Wars mess, G. Willow Wilson manages to write an event tie-in story (in this case, Civil War II) but still keep it readable for people like myself who aren’t planning on reading the rest of it, and to simultaneously keep the story […]
Venturing into Marvel Comics for the First Time
I have to admit I’ve never really followed Marvel comics much (or DC for that matter), but I picked up Patsy Walker aka Hellcat! Hooked on a Feline on the recommendation of a friend. This was a fun introduction to a character I didn’t know and a world I barely know. The story follows Patsy trying to find a job and normal life in NYC. She also does some standard superhero villain busting on the side (mostly on her own). She has a hard time […]
Everybody Sucks But Me
I have enjoyed Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series tremendously. I enjoy Fraction’s Clint Barton much more than the Barton in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Volume 3, though, focuses on the other Hawkeye, Kate Bishop. Kate is 21 and from a wealthy family. She may be young and brash, but she’s a great Hawkeye, especially when paired with Clint Barton. Unfortunately, Clint is wallowing in his own feelings and Kate decides she can’t watch anymore. So she takes The dog, flips off daddy and heads for the […]
