Comic Three-In-One

Fantastic Four: Nobody Gets Out Alive

Mr. Fantastic is dead, so Ant Man takes his place, and not even the good Ant Man.

RATING: 22%



Universe X Volume 2

This is better than Volume 1, with a really satisfying conclusion, but it's just so dense that it doesn't have much rereadability.

RATING: 71%


Ultimate X-Men Volume 4: Hellfire And Brimstone

Kitty Pride joins the school, and Jean starts to Phoenix out in a story that's kind of directionless if you ask me and I think you did.

RATING: 73%

Comic Three-In-One

Darkhawk: Heart Of The Hawk

The "best" Darkhawk story, involves DH fighting as many Spider-man villains as possible in six issues, and also he gets his amulet ripped out.

RATING: 62%



What If... Why Not?

This collection of What If... comics from 2004 forgets that the only reason people read What If... is to see lots of heroes die, not to discover how different their lives would have been if only they ate the cheese sandwich instead of the egg salad.

RATING: 18%


Ultimate Spider-man Vol. 5: Public Scrutiny

Total bummer when a crook dresses up as Spider-man and goes on a crime spree, and then he gets, like, dumped by Mary Jane, which is major lamesville, dude.

RATING: 89%

Darkhawk Issues 1-9

When I was a kid, Darkhawk was the first new superhero book I ever bought. Until then, I was buying mainly Star Trek comics and the occasional Spider-man book. But with issue 5, I was hooked. He looked so great, and he was kind of flawed when he was his regular high school self, Chris Powell. Little did I realize that a) the book was really terrible, and b) he was a ripoff of Spider-man/Peter Parker anyway. However, all these years later I have a soft spot for the character, and still love to see him pop up every now and then. Basically, Darkhawk is powered by this alien amulet that whenever Chris Powell touches it and wants to become Darkhawk WHAMMO! he does. There's a lot of interdimensional nonsense that I can't get into right now because it's ludicrous. Anyway, long story short, I love Darkhawk but the first 9 issues of his comic sucked, and so did the other 41 to be fair.
