Comic Book Review: New Avengers #41: Secret Invasion
2008-06-02 21:59:00 Bendis continues to do a fine job on the Secret Invasion tie-in issues. The Revolution by far and away finds the tie-in issues more captivating than the actual story itself over on Secret Invasion. I am confident that Bendis will turn in another great read with New Avengers #41. Let?s do this review.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisArtist: Billy TanArt Rating: 8 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 5 Night Girls out of 10Overall Rating: 6.5 Night Girls out of 10Synopsis: We begin with scene from Secret Invasion #2 where the ridiculous plot device, I mean Tyrannosaurus Rex conveniently rampages through the fight between the 1970?s heroes and our present day heroes. We see that Spider-Man gets thrown by the T-Rex and flies through the air and lands quite some distance away from the fight scene. And conveniently enough out of all the places that Spider-Man could land, he lands directly in front of Ka-Zar and Shanna.We proceed to get the typical if not well worn to slightly beaten...
Comic Book Review: New Avengers #40: Secret Invasion
2008-05-02 14:27:00 The Revolution has maintained low expectations for Secret Invasion. I am not expecting anything more than a story that is the equivalent of your typical summer blockbuster movie. And so far, this approach has served me well as I have been rather entertained by this Skrull infiltration. I am definitely looking forward to New Avengers #40 since it continues the story that we got over on New Avengers: The Illuminati #1 that came out way back in December of 2006. Talk about a long wait. This should be an entertaining read. Let?s go ahead and hit this review for New Avengers #40.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisPencils: Jim CheungInks: John DellArt Rating: 7 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 8 Night Girls out of 10Overall Rating: 7.5 Night Girls out of 10Synopsis: We begin with the ending of New Avengers: The Illuminati #1 with King Dorrek of the Skrulls asking his head scientist if they got everything that they needed from the Earthlings. The scientist says yes. Suddenly, Princ...
Comic Book Review: New Avengers #39
2008-03-31 21:25:00 It is no secret that The Revolution has been highly unimpressed with the feeble effort that Bendis has put forth on New Avengers. Each issue seems to get duller and more pointless than the last one. New Avengers #39 is a spotlight issue on Echo. Oh, lucky me. We get a spotlight issue on quite possibly the most uninteresting and boring character in the 616 universe. Outside of Bendis and Mack, I do not know of anyone who finds her character fascinating. I?ve certainly never thought Echo?s character was worthy of a roster spot on the Avengers. Oh well, I guess I?ll just have to hold my nose and dive into this review for New Avengers #39.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisArtist: David MackInks: Jeff HuetArt Rating: 8 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 3 Night Girls out of 10Overall Rating: 5.5 Night Girls out of 10Synopsis: We begin with Echo telling Wolverine that she doesn?t believe in this whole Skrull conspiracy theory. Echo thinks that the Secret Avengers may just be making...
Review: The New Avengers Annual, 2008
2008-03-14 01:57:00 Lead-up to the Story If you have not been reading The New Avengers recently, you probably should. I feel like I end up saying that a lot. But the coming Scrull secret invasion story starting in April started in New Avengers. Basically, the Scrulls are invading, not just the United States, but the whole world. ...
Comic Book Review: New Avengers Annual #2
2008-02-04 23:18:00 New Avengers is a journey down a dark and windy path that leads to nowhere particular. Bendis appears to have achieved the perfect state of stasis where he can string together numerous issues that achieve nothing. We get served up plenty of random dialogue laced with ?witty? stream of conscious banter mashed together with repetitive brawl scenes involving quite possibly the lamest Avengers villain in The Hood. Other than that, New Avengers has been a blast to read and I?m sure we will get a real gem with New Avengers Annual #2.Creative TeamWriter: Brain Michael BendisPencils: Carlo PagulayanInks: Jeff HuetArt Rating: 4 Night Girls out of 10Story Rating: 3 Night Girls out of 10Overall Rating: 3.5 Night Girls out of 10Synopsis: We begin with Maria Hill in command of the Helicarrier. She is informed that the Raft had a break-in. That someone broke in and let out a list of the following villains. That evidently the cloak the intruder wore is mystical in nature and prevents SHIELD from p...
New Avengers Annual #2
2008-02-02 18:21:00 Ok, this series is finally going somewhere. After a couple of issues of spinning its wheels with a curtailed Hood story and a lot of monosyllabic fight scenes mixed with ridiculous parenthetical jokes, it seems like New Avengers is at last moving into Secret Invasion territory. Let's have at it.
In New Avengers, violence is okay, but profanity is not
2008-01-24 17:24:00 Comics2Film talks about the excruciating violence exhibited in New Avengers #35 against Tigra a couple months ago. Oddly enough though, the word "ass", by contrast, is censored. Hmm, I agree, that does seem very odd, and pretty hypocritical of them. Even I'd feel more confortable seeing the word "ass" among other profane words clearly displayed on the panels than to see Tigra or any other lady

New Avengers: Illuminati #5
2007-11-12 22:22:00 The capper of the Illuminati title is just as good as the previous issues. Only two problems: Secret Invasion, which this leads into, is months away, isn't it? And what's with the five pages of filler included in every comic marvel shipped this week? Seriously, it didn't do anything for me. I would have been ok with five pages of ads, guys. Give me a backup story, or nothing. Don't half-ass it, Marvel.

Perfect for individual display, this eight inch statue can also be combined with the ...
New Avengers #35
2007-10-10 02:59:00 Don't believe the naysayers. Bendis is back in action, and although he isn't juggling the subplots very well (i.e. this issue has nothing to do with the big reveal at the conclusion of last issue, except for maybe a page at the end), this is back into acceptably snarky territory. I think the Hood makes a great godfather of crime, and I wish him the best of luck in making trouble for the various Avenger teams he'll have to contend with.
