The Infinity Entity #1 (of 4) — Writer: Jim Starlin;  Pencils: Alan Davis;  Inks: Mark Farmer;  Colors: Jordan Boyd Mockingbird #1 — Writer: Chelsea Cain;  Art: Kate Niemozyle;  Colors: Rachelle Rosenberg The Haunted Mansion #1 (of 5) — Writer: Joshua Williamson;  Art: Jorge Coelho;  Colors: Jean-Francois Beaulieu This week’s Marvel debuts — Infinity Entity #1 continues Jim Starlin’s decades-long (as in, since the ’70s) chronicling of the adventures of Adam Warlock, Thanos, and Marvel’s cosmic characters; he’s been doing this lately in original graphic novels, so it’s nice to see this installment as a good-‘ol floppy comic.

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 →
