Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #357
Avengers Standoff: Welcome to Pleasant Hill #1 — Writer: Nick Spencer; Pencils: Mark Bagley; Inks: Scott Hanna; Colors: Paul Mounts Power Man and Iron Fist #1 — Writer: David Walker; Art: Sanford Greene; Colors: Lee Loughridge Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #3 (of 3) — Writer: Fabian Nicieza; Pencils: Reilly Brown; Inks: Jay Leisten and Jeremy Freeman; Colors: Jim Charalampidis Two Marvel first issues, and a last one: Pleasant Hill, despite its title, has no Avengers in it; it’s more of a Prisoners riff (or Wayward Pines, if you’re too young for ’60s references), about a seemingly-tranquil community that’s actually … Continue reading

Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! #1 — Writer: Kate Leth; Art: Brittney L. Williams; Colors: Megan Wilson Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #2 — Writers: Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder; Art: Natacha Bustos; Colors: Tamra Bonvillain Spider-Woman #2 — Writer: Dennis Hopeless; Pencils/Colors: Javier Rodriguez; Inks: Alvaro Lopez We were talking about comics friendly to girls and women last week, and these first three Marvel offerings qualify, too — Hellcat, for example, really wants to be Batgirl, with its 20-something hip urban protagonist, its manga-cartoony art, its consciously-diverse cast and its cool-clubhouse group of super-friends (and even their foes). Leth, who … Continue reading

Ms. Marvel #1 — Writer: G. Willow Wilson; Art: Takeshi Miyazawa and Adrian Alphona; Colors: Ian Herring The Mighty Thor #1 — Writer: Jason Aaron; Art: Russell Dauterman; Colors: Matthew Wilson Spider-Woman #1 — Writer: Dennis Hopeless; Pencils/Colors: Javier Rodriguez; Inks: Alvaro Lopez Another week, and another seven first issues from Marvel — three of them with strong female leads. Ms. Marvel is one of the most anticipated; it’s consistently one of Marvel’s best-sellers in its trade collections and digital-download forms, which indicates it’s reaching a younger, more modern audience. It’s easy to see why, too — Wilson, who also … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #340
The Astonishing Ant-Man #1 — Writer: Nick Spencer; Art: Ramon Rosanas; Colors: Jordan Boyd The Uncanny Inhumans #1 — Writer: Charles Soule; Pencils: Jay Leisten; Inks: Steve McNiven; Colors: Sunny Cho Karnak #1 — Writer: Warren Ellis; Art: Gerardo Zaffino; Colors: Dan Brown Marvel continues its reboot rollout with three new titles this week: Ant-Man has some imaginative ideas from Spencer — like a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who’s created an Uber-like app for supervillains: need a hero assassinated? It’ll find whoever’s closest and dispatch them to do the job, as Scott Lang finds out to his dismay. There’s a little … Continue reading
