Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #352
Secret Wars #9 (of 9) — Writer: Jonathan Hickman; Art: Esad Ribic; Colors: Ive Svorcina Finally! On its own merits (ignoring the lateness, the hundreds of pages of mini-series, etc.) this has been one of the better Marvel events; you can accuse Hickman of many things, but he’s always got a solid plot, and character through-lines that make sense, and he uses them here: at base, this has been a Fantastic Four story (the last for a while), stemming from Hickman’s long run on that title just before he took over the Avengers books, and it’s a good one, with … Continue reading

Secret Wars #8 (of 9) — Writer: Jonathan Hickman; Art: Esad Ribic; Colors: Ive Svorcina This series is now like the guest who stays at the party too long: they were entertaining a few hours ago, but now all you want to do is sweep up and lock the doors, and they’re still over at the karaoke machine….

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 — Writer: Ryan North; Art: Erica Henderson; Colors: Rico Renzi Angela: Queen of Hel #1 — Writer: Marguerite Bennett; Art: Kim Jacinto with Stephanie Hans; Colors: Israel Silva Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 — Writer: Frank Barbiere; Art: Brent Schoonover; Colors: Nick Filardi Marvel continues its slow rollout of new books — Squirrel Girl is definitely the star, with its irresistible combination of charm, snarky humor, girl power and clever problem-solving; it’s got the perfect creative team in North and Henderson (just look at New Avengers, where the character is a team member, to see … Continue reading

Marvel continues their new-issue rollout with seven first issues this week, plus three Secret Wars conclusions, some DC books, six indy debuts and the usual suspects. Let’s look: The New Avengers #1 — Writer: Al Ewing; Art: Gerardo Sandoval; Colors: Dono Sanchez Almara The Uncanny Avengers #1 — Writer: Gerry Duggan; Art: Ryan Stegman; Colors: Richard Isanove A couple of Avengers beginnings: New Avengers has a team run and financed by Robert DeCosta/Sunspot; he’s the new head of A.I.M.
