Marvel Noise Episode 58

November 26th, 2008 Comments off

Since you’re probably going to stuff yourself silly this week (and have some shopping to do), this should help while away the time. Pat has your new releases, Steve reminisces on 1991, Tom returns with the next part of his history lesson on the Avengers, and Mike is back! But not with the segment you might think… We also have voicemails! And the host mentions Marvel’s recent mutant offerings!

Titles mentioned include Uncanny X-Men, X-Men: Legacy, Wolverine: Origins, Deadpool, X-Men/Spider-Man, Young X-Men, Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel, and Amazing Spider-Man

Get it here.

Review: Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. #35

November 20th, 2008 Comments off

Wanted by the Russians for violating Russian airspace. Strapped to a dissecting table, getting ready to be filleted open by a very nasty looking scapal and an even nastier looking Skrull. Plus, the whole world’s quickly falling into chaos. Things are starting to look kinda bleak for ol’ James “Rhodey” Rhodes! Get ready for some all out Skrull blasting action in the conclusion to War Machine: Weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D!

Awesome, awesome issue! Writer Christos Gage and artist Sean Chen have delivered a solid winner with this book! From the opening page, the story takes off and doesn’t let up until the last panel! Gage’s script features some absolutely fantastic dialog, especially with the character of Crimson Dynamo. There is one scene in particular with Dynamo receiving orders from his superiors and he’s trying to decide whether to follow the orders or go with what he believes is the right thing to do that I really thought was terrific. The whole moment just felt very real and believable. As far as I can remember, this is the first time I have ever read anything with Crimson Dynamo before, but I definitely want to see some more of him! As far as Rhodey goes, I loved his portrayal in this book. From giving a Skrull a laser labotomy to using himself as a human missle to take down Skrull battle cruisers, I was really digging his pull no punches, full throttle attitude!

The art from Chen, inker Sandu Florea, and colorist Jay David Ramos was absolutely top notch. There were some wonderful splash pages scattered throughout and all the battle sequences were wonderfully detailed. Plus, the cover from Adi Granov of War Machine diving into battle with guns blazing is just spectacular!

In all, this was just a really fantastic issue all around. From the writer to all the artists involved, everyone delivered a top notch read. This issue has really got me fired up to check out the upcoming War Machine series coming this December!
