I love that cover, sadly the story within is just not up to the same quality. It’s the first part of a new storyline, so maybe it’ll pick up. -
Absolutely fantastic book on multiple levels, it’s a hard science fiction story that seems to be a seriou coping mechanism for the author, and as with all work done from an emotional center, it shows. -
Ethical dilemmas abound with some gratuitous violence sprinkled about. -
Dark and muddy art work with a story that’s still ok. Not great, but ok. -
As with the other movie adaptations, the only way this is going to make sense is if you’ve seen the movie AND seen the deleted scenes. -
Only two stories in this edition (previous had 3), both are silly halloween type shlock that I love to read. -
Dr. Doom goes good, but still has trouble asking for help from others! -
Spidey gets married, but then gets in trouble!
Notable mentions:
- Captain Canuck First Summer Special – Printed the same month that I was born, this is a hilariously poorly printed and constructed book, there’s no set uniform for the Captain, the stories are jumpy, and there’s likely not a single page that was error free. I loved this look into how poorly a book can be published and how quality control for both the character’s designs and print production go hand in hand in making a good comic book experience.
- X-O Manowar #19 75th issue anniversary, which was shipped late by Diamond, a great story about picking up the pieces from the rushed and poorly executed “harbinger 2” mini series. All the post-war stuff has been so much better than the actual mini series, I do wonder if that was intentional somewhat. Also, the numbering shenanigans reminds me that it’s not just the big two that have problems with counting.
