New Avengers, Vol. 5: Civil War – A Graphic Novel Review
I had the distinct advantage of reading this collection well after I read the unified edition of Civil War, so I must admit my perspective would be different from someone unfamiliar with the outcome of Civil War and its fallout. That said, knowing what I know about Nick Fury, Iron Man, and Captain America’s current…

Daredevil: Hell To Pay, Vol. 1 – A Graphic Novel Review
If you’ve been reading Daredevil for any length of time, you know Matt Murdock’s life has been moving pretty fast and furious for literally years. I like this volume in particular because it gives the audience a chance to recalibrate and get a feel for where Murdock has been and where he’s going. Overall, this…

Daredevil: The Devil, Inside and Out, Volume 2 – A Graphic Novel Review
I’m a tremendous fan of Brian Michael Bendis’ Daredevil, so when the news arrived that he was leaving the title, I found myself distraught. Before Bendis’ run, I’d never really cared much for the character. And though many criticized the level of deconstruction he brought to the line, I always found his work riveting and…

The Fantastic Four – A Movie Review
Let me begin by stating that while I am a self-admitted comic book fan, I am by no means a die-hard Fantastic Four fan. I’ve always thought they were a neat team, but I’ve never really been interested in them or their comic. Okay, with that out of the way, I think we all understand…

X-Men: The Last Stand – A Movie Review
So the fanboys and the critics have been telling me that X-Men: The Last Stand is awful, yet the movie going audience has been flocking to this baby. Like the responsible movie fan I am, I had to see for myself. Read on for my spoilerific review of X-Men: The Last Stand… I have to…

New Avengers: The Collective – A Graphic Novel Review
Brian Michael Bendis continues to spin out entertaining reads with his take on the Avengers. While characterization is a problem when using cornerstone characters, it is certainly fun to see all of our favorites working as a team. I’ve been a Bendis fan for a while and I enjoy his interpretation of the Avengers, especially…

Spider-Man 3 – A Movie Review
(I’m almost sure there are no spoilers in this review, but read at your own risk.) From the get-go, I thought Spider-Man 3 looked a bit … crowded. I had no idea how they were going to incorporate new angles with Sandman, Venom, and Gwen Stacy, as well as follow up on logical story progressions…

Ghost Rider – A Movie Review
I am all for movie studios going hog wild with comic book properties. Most of these characters have literally decades of stories to pull from, so the quality content is there. Most of them are visually stimulating because of the nature of their genre. And most of them, no matter how far down the echelon…

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – A Movie Review
There are some fanatical Fantastic Four comic book fans out there, and you’ll have to take into consideration that I’m not one of them. I always found them a little lame, and yes, I have been browbeaten on a regular basis by people trying to convince me of the errors of my ways. That said,…
