Daredevil-01

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at the first issue of the new Daredevil series by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, the latest in the All-New Marvel Now launch.

“Mark Waid proves just why he’s among the best writers on shelves right now with an excellent debut issue that moves Daredevil away from his traditional stomping ground of Hell’s Kitchen. If you only read one All New Marvel Now title, make it this one.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

 ”A fantastic start to what promises to be a fantastic series.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

With the bastard spawn of this series being spewed out by Marvel, Bellarius returns to one of the worst series of the last several years: Dennis Hopeless’ Avengers Arena.

“A monument to Marvel’s attitude of “All publicity is good publicity!” and just how damaging it can be.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields

Avengers Undercover 01

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings take a look at another new #1 from Marvel, part of its All-New Marvel NOW! launch initiative.

“A superhero comic series that deals with PTSD and survivor’s guilt and features young, teenage superheroes? Well that’s unique, certainly, in my experience. I think I’ll be sticking with this one for a bit. ” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

“A great first issue that although not perfect, does lay the groundwork for a very interesting series with some great character development” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Justice League 3000 03

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at the newest issue of the latest Justice League book from DC Comics.

“Justice League 3000 isn’t quite finding its groove yet after a promising start but it still continues to be fun and is far from the worst book on DC’s shelves right now.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“Loved that we got more insight into how this world of the future works, but the primary characters aren’t quite working for me. The charm is in the setting and not so much in the characters.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

Red Sonja Vol.1 Queen of Plagues

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up for February.

“A mix of Marvel comics here, with All-New Invaders not being quite up to par but the latest chapter of Revolutionary War is indeed quite impressive.“ ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

“Scott Lobdell misfires yet again with Teen Titans, proving that this series is deserving of its cancellation whilst Gail Simone works wonders with the first Volume of  Red Sonja.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Comics Round-up 15.01.2014

January 15, 2014   Shadowhawk   No comments
Batgirl v3 Vol.1

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up of the new year.

“Just one title for me this time, but it was a pretty good one, so that’s that. I’m getting into reading some older Batgirl comics and across three different trades, the experience has paid off. I think I’m developing into a fan of Bryan Q. Miller’s Batgirl with Stephanie Brown as the titular character.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

“Death of the Family hits Red Hood and the Outlaws and Nightwing in trade. Whilst Lobdell is able to make Red Hood one of the most relevant books to the crossover out of the entire Bat-family he’s unable to do Jason Todd justice. On the other hand, Kyle Higgins’ Nightwing story is the better of the two, but not the character’s best outing.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Superman Vol. 3: Fury At World’s End by Scott Lobdell – Graphic Novel Review [Bane of Kings]

January 11, 2014   Bane of Kings   No comments
SupermanVol3

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, turns his attention to the third Volume of the New 52 Superman series, entitled Fury at World’s End, penned by Scott Lobdell, featuring art by Kenneth Rocaforte this series is published by DC Comics, and collects the Superman sections of the “H’EL on Earth” crossover.

“What a disappointment. Whilst not being one of the worst graphic novels of the New 52 that I’ve read, Superman Vol. 3 is certainly down there, and despite some scenes of initial promise, Fury at World’s End is a wasted oppurtunity that suffers from Lobdell’s apparent need to make everything that he writes connect to another title as part of a crossover event.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Marvel Now - All-New X-Factor 01

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at the brand-new X-Factor series, part of the All-New Marvel NOW! launch from Marvel.

“Ever wanted to get into the X-Factor but put off by how many issues there has been? Then don’t worry, because All New X-Factor #1 is the perfect jumping on point for newcomers – it might not be the best book out there right now but it certainly shows some promising signs.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“Bit of a rough but promising start.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
