Weekly Awards For The Comic Books From November 19, 2008

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn)
X-Factor #37 X-Factor #37 Writer: Peter David Well, David appears to have gotten X-Factor back on track. With the Secret Invasion storyline over it looks like David is going to try and pick up the pieces from Messiah Complex and continue to make X-Factor a quality read. X-Factor #37 was certainly a step in the right direction. David treats the reader to plenty of well crafted dialogue. The character work on X-Factor continues to be some of the best that you will see in a Marvel comic book. David clearly loves and understands the various members of X-Factor. The chemistry on X-Factor is fantastic and is certainly better than what you get on your typical comic book. Uncanny X-Men #504 The Winner: Uncanny X-Men #504

The Colossus/Juggernaut fight is also brilliantly conceived and executed, by far the all-time greatest use of the Juggernaut in an X-Men comic book. A once-impressive villain made to look foolish over time because his “unstoppable” riff rings hollow after so many defeats, Cain Marko h...

Opinion: Mutant movies, 'Twilight' and Mortal Kombat vs. DC, all in Everyday Hero headlines

24 Nov 2008 05:32:00 PST

Written by Geoff Boucher
Mutant possibilities: Remember the "X-Men" films? They sure seem like a looong time ago to Marc Graser, apparently, because he suggests that Fox is dragging its feet in getting its valuable mutant brigade back in theaters. To my mind, after Brett Ratner's lurching, messy finale to the X-...

Uncanny X-Men #504 REVIEW

Written by ComicList
Uncanny X-Men #504 Marvel Comics Fraction, Dodson, Ponsor Colossus is upset about the loss of his love. He decides a tattoo is in order, but that doesn’t quite work with his steel body and all. After seeking some comfort from Nightcrawler, he is eventually sent on a sabbatical by Cyclops. Uncanny X-Men #504 Marvel Comics Fraction, Dodson, Ponsor Colossus is upset about the loss of his love. He decides a tattoo is in order, but that doesn’t quite work with his steel body and all. After seeking some comfort from Nightcrawler, he is eventually sent on a sabbatical by Cyclops. The issue includes some other moments with Colossus stumbling upon an old villain and Beast and Angel recruiting a potential X-Man, but that’s pretty much the whole issue.

Uncanny X-Men #503 REVIEW

20 Oct 2008 18:27:51 PDT

Uncanny X-Men #503 Marvel Comics Fraction, Brubaker, Land and Ponsor Next the issue covers Empath and his rampage. While Scott and Emma play the dual role of tactician and communications center, Angel, Storm, Nightcrawler and Wolverine try to stop Empath. While this is going on Pixie has herself a breakout moment and some good interaction with Beast to boot. It’s a good issue. There is a decent sized cast and the issue moves fast enough so that none of them really eat up too much scenery. The banter between Nightcrawler and Wolverine is assuming while the dialogue between Cannonball, Karma and Mirage is meaningful. Empath proved to be an interesting villain, but wasn’t explored very much.

Uncanny X-Men #502 REVIEW

20 Sep 2008 13:39:27 PDT

Uncanny X-Men #502 Marvel Comics Fraction, Brubaker & Land The X-Men fight the Hellfire Club. Along the way little floating bubbles show up above the various characters to give little introductions. This is a good thing to do in a comic. This sequence gives great interaction between Wolverine and Nightcrawler. They capture a Hellfire Club member. Pixie ponders running away and has some interaction with Wolverine. Wolverine obviously has thing for taking in young X-Men girls. So while this seems like a good idea it feels a little old due to his relationships with Kitty, Jubilee, X-23 and Armor. I’m not saying it’s not okay, but I am saying it felt too familiar.

ADVANCE REVIEW: Ultimate X-Men #94

Publisher: Marvel Comics Rating: 5/10 Following the departure of long-time writer Robert Kirkman, issue 94 sees the comic-book debut of Heroes writer Aron E. Coleite, joined by Mark Brooks on art. So, is this a good jumping on point for new and sceptical readers?

REVIEW: X-Men Divided We Stand #1

19 Apr 2008 11:24:43 PDT

X-Men: Divided We Stand #1 of 2 Marvel Comics Carey, Peterson, Ponsor, Kyle, Yost, Takeda, Young, Beaulieu, Yost, LaFuente, Fraction & McKelvie Lastly, Nightcrawler confronts the one who nearly killed him, Scalphunter. This story is good for a couple of reasons. One, it really gives deep insight into Nightcrawler’s character. We even get the aspects of his spirituality which isn’t always presented with the character. Secondly, we see that not all the X-Men are lost in their purpose. Lastly, we see that the villains of the Messiah Complex aren’t exactly prospering since the war ended either. 4 out of 5 geek goggles. X-Men Divided We Stand #1 (of 2)

We shift back to Rogue and Gambit. Rogue says that Mystique isn’t dead. Rogue mentions that when she was healed from the Strain 88, that all the minds she had absorbed over the years were also erased. That it was just Rogue. For about a minute. That now it is Rogue and Mystique in her head. Rogue says that she wish she had seen this sooner because then she never would have touched Mystique. Rogue then says that Mystique is the last person she ever wants to see and now Mystique is stuck in her head. Rogue then says that she needs to go away and be by herself and think. Rogue then leaves. Cable then teleports from the scene. As Cable is teleporting away, Bishop wakes up and screams “NO!” and fires several shots at Cable’s disappearing form. The shots wiz through wher...

Comic Book Review: X-Men #201: Endangered Species

27 Jul 2007 12:56:00 PDT

Written by Rokk Krinn
And what is up with Carey’s Colossus? Colossus acts like he is from outer space rather than from Russia. Colossus isn’t a Vulcan. And Colossus didn’t just get off the boat. He has been in America for quite some time. It is striking the difference of Whedon’s well developed Colossus and Carey’s one-dimensional dumb Colossus who acts like he just arrived on planet Earth from planet Vulcan. Overall: There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Carey’s X-Men is the weakest of all the X-titles that Marvel publishes. David’s X-Factor is the best with some of the best character work, dialogue and subtle plotlines currently on the market. Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men is next with excellent character work, good chemistry and quality action. Then comes Br...
