Review: The Mighty Avengers #24

David Price — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:32:26 +0000

With his first arc under his belt, Dan Slott puts the team through their paces this issue by having them face and solve many problems all over the world. Parts of the issue felt like they could also happen in any issue of the Fantastic Four, but I think that’s because Hank Pym, like Reed Richards, is one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe and knows how to handle trouble. Hank, now using his dead wife’s superhero name Wasp, is quick on his feet, even when faced with the situation of Quicksilver, one of the fastest people in the Marvel Universe, and how insistent Magneto’s son is about being a member of the team. Unfortunately, while globetrotting and saving millions of people, H.A.M.M.E.R. is literally knocking on Hank’s door, but a solution presents itself that will help the Avengers in their mission.

One item of note from this issue is that the cracks are starting to show in the Cabal’s armor. And everyone is piling on poor, ol’ Norman. And one member of the Illuminaughty is taking full advantage of that. And for those keeping score, there is an appearance by the Young Avengers and a dig at Wolverine.

As mentioned, this issue is written by Slott who has no problem working this group to the bone. The action is non-stop so if you find the quiet moments Brian Michael Bendis writes in New Avengers leaves you wanting, this is right up your alley. Rafa Sandoval and Roger Bonet Martinez – as penciler and inker, respectively – offer a smooth line, and the action and characters are clear and defined.

This is another title from Marvel where I’m going to get a kick out of following this team and see them overcome the obstacles put in their way. If you weren’t sure about The Mighty Avengers when the new direction started, give this issue a shot. Not only is it a lot of fun, but I feel you’re gonna get your money’s worth.

Preview: Ms. Marvel #38

David Price — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:29:47 +0000

Meet the New Ms. Marvel!

With Carol Danvers no longer Ms. Marvel, who will take up the mantle? Answer: The Dark Avenger formerly known as Moonstone! Writer Brian Reed and artist Rebekah Isaacs team up for an all-new, all-different Ms. Marvel #38! Norman Osborn has appointed the villainous Moonstone to become the world’s new favorite super-heroine–what kind of chaos and mayhem will ensue? This issue also features a Wolverine Art Appreciation variant cover by Paolo Rivera!

Fans and critics are raving about Brian Reed and Ms. Marvel:

“What’s so fascinating about this current run of Ms. Marvel by Brian Reed is just how versatile he has proven both himself to be as a writer, as well as the character he writes, Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel. […] This is a truly great book.” — Adam Chapman, Comixtreme.com

“This issue has a few plotlines running through it, but I think Brian Reed handles it efficiently and effectively. I really think the best events and storylines of “Dark Reign” are going to happen where you least expect them, and this is one of those places.”– Kevin Powers, ComicsBulletin.com

“I should be hit in the face with a 12 inch frying pan for even imagining a bad issue of Ms. Marvel.” — Mike Rapin, destroythecyb.org

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Ms. Marvel and all Marvel Dark Reign tie-ins! What do Osborn and Moonstone have planned!? Find out this and more starting in Ms. Marvel #38!

Review: Punisher #3

Mike Sims — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:51:49 +0000

Frank Castle is waging war on Norman Osborn. However, the head of H.A.M.M.E.R. is not going to be easy to take down, at least not while he’s got bodyguards such as the Sentry and Ares to cover his back. So Frank is having to change tactics from what he’s used to and fight a different type of war. One that involves exposing Osborn for what he truly is: a cold blooded, maniacal killer. With the help of a computer genius named Henry, the Punisher has taken his propaganda war directly to Osborne and has scored several good victories. But that’s all about to change as Osbourne calls in a favor from a certain hooded villain to help bring Frank down.

Rick Remender and Jerome Opena are turning up the heat with this new series! The first two issues have been packed with action and this issue is no exception. The story is fast-paced and exciting and I really feel like I got a lot of bang for my buck. Remender has done an incredible job taking over the Punisher reins from Matt Fraction. His kinetic style of writing matches really well with this character. He get’s the story rolling quickly and then seems to let the action take over. I love the way he keeps the Punisher human and quickly shows that he is not invincible and can be taken down. He starts the first issue out with Frank getting his butt handed to him by the Sentry and having to rely on an outside source for help, which I thought was a great way to open up the series.

The art from Jerome Opena is just simply unbelievable! Opena’s gritty and raw pencilwork is a perfect match with the Punisher and Remender’s writing. The amount of detail that he puts into each of his pages is incredible. I was absolutely blown away by his first issue and he hasn’t let up the pace yet! This issue features some wonderfully rendered fight and chase scenes that really showcase Opena’s style.

In conclusion, I give this issue, as well as this series so far, a very solid A. The story is well written, the art is wonderfully rendered and hopefully it will be sticking around for a while. Remender and Opena are both well suited for this type of book and as long as they are on it, I have a feeling I will keep picking it up.

“Brian Reed tells a solid, cool superhero tale”—Bryan Joel, IGN.Com

“I’ve really liked the direction that Brian Reed has been taking Ms. Marvel over the past few months…I’ve been really digging the complexities of everything that’s been happening”—Kevin Powers, ComicsBulletin.Com
