A Shot of Reviews from My Weekly Haul



Edge of Spider-Verse #2
Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman

All in all I am looking forward to this Spider-Verse, and if I wasn't a completist I would have passed. This issue is nothing that couldn't have fit in four pages of the Superior Spider-Man. The art is wanting and the story is lacking.

2 out of 5 stars, or save your money.

The Superior Spider-Man #33

The series has lost steam since it isn't being written by Dan Slott, but we find out more about who and/or what is hunting the Spider "totems".

3 out of 5 stars

Avengers World #13

I'm getting disappointed. The series started off with a great new idea and now I feel like I got on a roller coaster and afterward was transported to the merry go round. With all the Avengers books going around I'm getting lost and confused, maybe they should start at a new number one.

1 out of 5 stars. 

All New X-Men #32

Cover Swipe of the week.

When the Ultimate universe first came into existence, I was away from the comic book scene. As I later read them myself I was hooked, until it seemed they ran out of ideas. All new X-Men has been a book I've been looking forward to. Even at a slower pace and an introduction of the time-misplaced X-Men to the ultimate universe, Brian Michael Bendis is pacing himself with this issue.

3 out of 5 stars. 


The Wicked + The Devine #4

I liked issues 1-3, and this one is no exception. It is a change from the super hero universe I normally visit. This book is a murder mystery that I'm stuck with unravelling at the month to month pace. I know the murdered, but not the murderer.

3.5 out if 5 stars.

Daredevil #8

This is my favorite character. I pride myself on having every Daredevil book from #1 to now. The Purple Man has returned and he played the long game. Mark Waid has turned Matt Murdock's life upside down and does something even more graphic to Mr. Killgrave.

3.5 out of 5 stars. 

Avengers #35

Jonathan Hickman has picked up the pace in East of West, and has as equally slowed things down here in the Avengers. I'm lost and confused. I missed the days when Marvel added the editorial notes on where to check out what. I find out that Roberto DaCosta purchased A.I.M. and Thor has an Ax. The latter having an answer in Original Sin, but if I only read this title, I'd be lost. Frankly I'm disappointed. Great art, but as far as being my favorite Avengers title, I'm a bit frustrated with it.

3 out of 5 stars.

Uncanny X-Men #26

Brian Michael Bendis merged this title with the All New X-Men and had been doing a great job. This issue spear heads forward with the unveiling of Professor Xavier's will, bringing to the Marvel universe the strongest mutant ever. How this will effect everything else, no one knows. 

3.5 out of 5 stars. 

Uncanny Avengers #24

I'm done with this series. How does the Red Skull steal the mutant powers from Charles Xavier's brain. I like the premise of uniting two teams to show the American population that mutants and humans can coexist, but since this title seems to not need any other title to exist, I don't need this title.


1 out of 5 stars. 

Thanks for Reading
