X-Men, Vol. 2 by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 4 of 5 stars Happy St Patrick's Day. This one has a lot of cosmic subject matter. I'm ready for a King Egg omelette and some green beer. View all my reviews
Nightwing, Volume 5: Setting Son by Kyle Higgins My rating: 3 of 5 stars It isn't resonating with me as much as the Morrison run, but I always like some Nightwing inner monologue. I just wish they wouldn't do it on logo-watermarked, gradient background bubbles. View all my reviews
Aquaman, Volume 5: Sea of Storms by Jeff Parker My rating: 4 of 5 stars I like Swamp Thing. He fits in well with this story but I didn't care for all the earlier stuff about forgotten monsters and Wonder Woman. View all my reviews
X-Men: Hellfire Gala - Red Carpet Edition by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a weird one. There are some great issues in there but towards the end it lost me as I wasn't as familiar with some of the newer characters. It has some fun concept explorations. And who would turn down a party invite from Emma Frost? Over the top psychological fireworks, literally. View all my reviews
Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps by Geoff Johns My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think this would be a great way to start into the lanternverse? Maybe? I've read a lot of this so maybe I'm off but it's kind of an origin story for each color, plus a character featurette. It's a lot of fun. View all my reviews
X-Men: X of Swords by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a strange one, but I went with it. The writing had a slightly anime feel; I guess it reminded me of Record of Ragnarok on netflix, bizarre gladiatorial contests. If you like that sort of thing, or elaborate weaponry details, then this will be the tops for you. View all my reviews
Hawkman by Geoff Johns Book One by Geoff Johns My rating: 4 of 5 stars Like a lifelong groundhog day, huh? With some Egyptian mystical flair. It's cool. I'm curious if it will ever become an on-screen event. Read it if you like Egyptian flavored magic, or I guess, true love. View all my reviews
Death of Wolverine by Charles Soule My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked this representation of Wolverine artistically. The story was a fine, quick read. I really enjoyed the sensory quote squares that described what Wolverine smells. View all my reviews
House of X/Powers of X by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am a big fan of this one. I mean are there any adults out there who HAVEN'T wanted to start their own tropical island community supported by growing herbs? I also really enjoyed all the interstitial black and white pages with quotes and description. It has a lot of heavy philosophy about the nature of man's evolution and purpose, as well as our relationship with technology and purpose. View all my reviews
