She-Hulk has been firing on all cylinders and this issue is no exception. This is a rather unique book and I’ll admit it’s not for everyone. Although some people may not like it, I like that Marvel is taking more chances on books like this. One of the main reasons that She-Hulk may turn you off is due to the fact that the book is more about She-Hulk’s life than her super heroing. It also has a unique art style instead of the classic no risks style. If you’re like me and you happen to like the unique writing and art, then this may be the book for you.

Moon Knight #6 Review! A Perfect Spectre
Moon Knight is a character with a sordid past, on the page and off. The newest incarnation from Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey has breathed new life into a hero — or anti-hero — that many in the Marvel Universe can either take or leave. This issue sees a different side of the coin, as Moon Knight himself isn’t featured as much as you might suspect. [Read more…] about Moon Knight #6 Review! A Perfect Spectre
Rocket Raccoon #2 Review! My Favorite Raccoon Book
Rocket Raccoon is hands down the most fun comic book you can find on the shelves today. The book stars Rocket Raccoon and Groot while perfectly capturing their friendship. It understands what it is and doesn’t take itself too seriously, like so many books out there. From front cover to back the book keeps a consistent tone which is distinctly different from any other Marvel book. The cohesiveness of the book is in part due to the fact that both the writing and art is done by Skottie Young. While Skottie Young also does the cover art, he did need some help from Jean-Francois Beaulieu for coloring and Jeff Eckleberry for lettering. [Read more…] about Rocket Raccoon #2 Review!

Gambit Reading Order Part 2: Early 90’s X-Men: Blue Team, Uncanny, and Gambit Mini!
Previously: The introduction of Gambit in Uncanny X-Men
With so many potential X-Men, Marvel played a smart move – they split the X-Men into two teams, Blue and Gold, and Gambit was on the Blue. Claremont penned the first three issues of the new X-Men title, which featured the Blue Team, but left due to some serious editorial conflict. Still, he laid the foundations for what Jim Lee would go on to write.
For example, in X-Men #3 Claremont wrote a moment on Asteroid M where Gambit and Rogue interact for the first time of note: [Read more…] about Gambit Reading Order Part 2: Early 90’s X-Men: Blue Team, Uncanny, and Gambit Mini!
