Winter Soldier. Issue 3. Comic Book Review!
Justice League International. Issue 7. Comic Book Review!
Booster re-enacting Platoon!
JLI #7!(Jurgens. Lopresti. Ryan. Cox. Lanham!)
PREVIOUSLY IN JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONALWith the Signal Men defeated and Earth saved from certain annihilation, the members of Justice League International expected to bask in glory and appreciation. Such is not the case as a new threat, one far more dangerous than anyone dared suspect, emerges and attacks with dire results, forever altering the team and sending...
Green Arrow. Issue 7. Comic Book Review
Damn that Arrow…
Green Arrow. Issue #7!(Nocenti. Talibao. Leigh. Porter. Horie!)
Green Arrow is one of my favourite comic book characters.
It’s such a simple idea, as the best ideas tend to be. Take Robin Hood, move him to the modern day, throw in alliteration, and presto – you have a classic superhero. There’s some people out there who think he’s a Batman rip-off, which seems a tad off. Batman has his roots in classic...
Interview With Alex Macieira of Planet Ruskin Comics
In recent years, zombies have become popular in much of the media MCM fans love. We have seen an increase of them in our video games, TV shows, films and comics. These days, when basing a story on zombies, you need to do something unique and eye catching to be noticed, and Planet Ruskin Comics has attempted to do just that. Alex Macieira, the artist behind The Zombies Ate my Chilean, took the time to talk to me about how to get into writing comics,...
Justice League. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
All is Darkseid!
There be spoilers below!
Justice League: Issue Six!(Johns. Lee. Williams)
PREVIOUSLY: Darkseid came, he saw, he…
… got his butt well and truly kicked by Aquaman and Wonder Woman in one of the coolest things I’ve ever read in a comic-book.
Prior to this point, I wasn’t entirely convinced with the new Justice League. It was a good read to be fair, it just never seemed to really be ‘popping’ off the page in the way you’d...
Interview With Gashu-Group Manga
In the Artist’s Alley at the MCM Expo, there is always a lot to see. You have everything from western style comics to Japanese style manga, and a whole host of styles in between. In such a crowded space, it can be tricky for people to make sure they get noticed, particularly if they are either self published or with a smaller publishing group. I recently got to speak to a few people from a small publishing group called Gashu-Group Manga, who told...
Aquaman. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
Don’t call her Aquawoman!
Aquaman #6!(Johns. Reis. Prado!)
Wow.
Since I started reviewing comics here at MCM Buzz, I’ve read a lot of good and a fair few mediocre. Even given some positive reviews. Which makes this difficult, as this comic almost necessitates a complete overhaul of how I grade the material that I read and what criteria I use in terms of analysis.
I mean… it’s just ridiculous.
And by ridiculous, I mean...
Winter Soldier. Issue Two. Comic Book Review!
Crossfire!
Winter Soldier #1!(Brubaker. Guice. Breitweiser)
PREVIOUSLYWhen ex-Russian Sleeper Agents awaken, Winter Solider and Black Widow head into action!
The thing to note about Winter Soldier is that it seems an extremely self-assured title in terms of the writing. While this isn’t surprising given that Brubaker is directly responsible for Bucky’s resurrection and resulting role in the Marvel-verse, it is surprising given that...
DC Universe Online: Battle For The Earth Webcast Recap!
The Avatar of Tech Strikes Back!
On Thursday evening, DCU Online hosted a webcast designed to tease players (both new and long-term) about the content they could expect in the third DLC pack; the intriguingly titled “Battle For The Earth.”
While they were keen to keep spoilers to a minimum, some fascinating new material was unearthed. Namely that it’s the biggest DLC yet!
The first DLC (Fight For The Light) had a new power (Light),...
Wonder Woman. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
Yeah…
Wonder Woman #6!
(Azzarello. Akins. Green!)
PREVIOUSLY: Wonder Woman has returned home to London… but leaving Paradise Island doesn’t mean leaving the gods behind, as two of the most powerful deities of the pantheon have come to town – and neither of them is leaving without being crowned King of the gods!
I can’t start this review off with anything other than a sigh.
When DC announced the reboot, I was hoping they’d...
