Review # 183: "Jessica Jones: The Pulse"

In my review of "Alias" I mentioned how a sanitized Jessica Jones isn't nearly as good as a vulgar Jessica Jones. Case in point: "Jessica Jones: The Pulse."

Review # 176: "New Avengers Omnibus - Vol. 1"

After a mediocre run by Geoff Johns, the usual crap from Chuck Austen, and Mark Millar's "The Ultimates" showing off how cool the Avengers could be, it was time for a change. Cue Brian Michael Bendis, who had been kicking ass on "Ultimate Spider-Man," "Daredevil" and "Alias." But could he handle a team book?

The answer - at the time - was an emphatic "yes."

Review # 164: "Alias"

Jessica Jones is going to go down in history as the greatest thing Brian Michael Bendis ever contributed to comics. It's tempting to call her the greatest female character in the history of superhero books.

Review # 158: "Civil War"

Loved by the casual audience and despised by many long-time readers, Marvel's "Civil War" is as polarizing to fans as the Superhuman Registration Act is to the characters.

Review # 97: "Deadpool - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"

There are a few neat little threads throughout the Marvel Universe that open the door for some cool possibilities. For instance: Captain America, Wolverine and Deadpool are all products of the same enhancement program, each "manufactured" in radically different ways. You had to figure eventually that team-up was going to happen. In "Deadpool Vol. 3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" it does.

Review # 96: "Immortal Iron Fist: The Complete Collection Vol. 1"

I am really hopeful the new Iron Fist Netflix series is a huge hit. I'm talking "needs a feature film" huge hit. Why? So Harrison Ford can have his last, big action film hurrah.

Review # 19: "New Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis Volumes 1, 2 and 3"

Many people jump on Brian Michael Bendis for focusing on character interaction more than character development. I think they need to wake up and realize what series they're reading.
