Mighty Thor: Thunder In Her Veins by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman – A Book Review
This new approach to Thor is both refreshing and inspired. As you can see from the cover, Thor is no longer the Thor with whom you’ve grown familiar. Thor is now, well, a woman. A masked woman, in fact. By the time this volume rolls around, it’s already established that the new Thor is actually…

Regarding the First Five Episodes of Iron Fist
I got really nervous a few weeks ago because the critics were slamming Iron Fist. Generally speaking, they accused the first six episodes of lacking direction, excitement, or any real sense of danger. Fortunately, I decided to watch it anyway. I’m here to tell you – in regards to the first five episodes, the critics…

Doctor Strange – A Movie Review
This is a Marvel movie unlike any other. You will see insane special effects that absolutely transfix. And though the movie is somewhat beholden to the cliched “origin story,” it does attempt, perhaps more so than ever before, to present a true journey to heroism. In the end, though, it had a major flaw. Doctor…

Star Wars: Vader Down – A Book Review
This is probably the coolest Darth Vader story I’ve ever experienced, and that’s no small statement. The first crossover between Marvel’s Darth Vader and Star Wars comic book series, Vader Down collects the entire tale as Darth Vader crash lands on the Rebel Alliance’s new planetary base. He hunts Luke Skywalker, the boy who humiliated…

Ant-Man: A Movie Review
I’ve got to be honest, I think Ant-Man may have more heart than any other Marvel movie to date. It touts itself as a heist movie, and it is, but this movie is mostly about fathers and daughters. You’ve all seen the trailers by now – Scott Lang is recruited by Hank Pym to be…

The New Avengers, Vol. 6: Revolution – A Graphic Novel Review
I really enjoyed this volume of New Avengers. The title gets a bit of a shake-up after the events of Civil War with a revamped, underground Avengers team featuring a black-suited Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Spider-Woman and the welcomed additions of Iron Fist, Dr. Strange and Ronin (a much-missed old friend wearing new duds). The…

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…

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…
