We all love Rick Remender, Gabriel Hardman, and the amazing coloring by Bettie Breitweiser. Therefore, we are more than happy to share with you a few pages from the upcoming Secret Avengers #22 that will hit comic shops on February 8th.
We don’t know a lot about this new era for the Secret Avengers. We know that Captain Britain and Giant-Man join the team. Also, Hawkeye becomes the new leader!
This is the book I am the most excited about coming out next week. Just from looking at the previews, we’re in...

Maybe it’s the optimism and joy the holiday period brings me, or maybe it’s because I’ve been driven insane by the infinite number of terrible Christmas songs my girlfriend has been playing on repeat throughout the house, but I’ve not been able to detect many bad comics on my radar recently. I probably have gone off the walls, but it does seem like there are a lot of truly great comics on-going right now.
Today when I went to pick up my stack, the shelves were illuminated and alive. It was a delight to...

I don’t read any Spider-Man comics on a regular basis and havn’t done in my life, though I can safely say that at a random point almost every year I will have this bizarre urge to buy a lot of the most recent Spider-Man comics. Whenever I do read them I tend to enjoy them as most people do (so I’m told), and right now, it would seem that November is my time of the year to start reading Spider-Man again.
Instead of picking up the most recent issues of Amazing Spider-Man as I usually have done in the past, I saw...

If you want to enjoy Marvel’s mutants and fancy a quick break from the rest of the X-titles whilst Marvel decide that they want to (once again) fiddle around with it’s continuity, then I’d say you should let your hands drift towards a copy of Astonishing X-Men #43. It’s ok, I know it will feel dirty and ever-so-wrong buying a book that you probably think no one else in the world reads, but just got for it.
For the previous bunch of issues of Astonishing X-Men, we had two story arcs playing out side by...

After 70 issues, Greg Pak’s run on The Incredible Hulk(s) has come to an end with Incredible Hulks #635. With amazing stories like Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, Pak’s run is sure to be remembered for years to come. Having never been a fan of the Hulk until Pak took over writing for the character, I found this issue, despite its flaws, to be a really good end to the series.
In this final series everything in the Hulk’s world has gone crazy since A.I.M. scientist, Monica Rappaccini, has accidentally given wishing...

I am a fan of Jonathan “Polybag” Hickman. I loved his work with Secret Warriors, as well as his run on both Fantastic Four and now FF. I am calling him Polybag because the man knows BIG event books, and if you are working on a BIG event book over at Marvel, you’d better believe it’s going to be sealed up in a plastic tomb at some point. I suppose it shows that you have made it, right? Well if that’s the case, then Hickman has certainly made it, twice over. But will Ultimate Comics The Ultimates...

This month’s issue of Hulk begins with a quote from William Faulkner,stating: “The past isn’t over. It isn’t even past.” With that, the brilliant team of writer Jeff Parker and artist Gabriel Hardman begins its descent into General Ross’s past.

We have had 15 issues (counting the Point One issue) where Parker has given us something I have never seen...

You don’t know how tempted I am to make an MC Hammer lyrical reference regarding anything related to Fear Itself, but that’d be too easy, so I’ll refrain. Not only that, but I haven’t been reading the main event book either, so it doesn’t really seem fair.
Because I don’t usually follow the big event plots on an issue-by-issue basis (I normally pick up the trades if I hear they’re good) I originally had no real interest in the mini-series Fear Itself: Deadpool. That all changed once I...

As part of their X-Men: Regenesis campaign that’s promoting the post “Schism” status quo, Marvel released an image revealing the newest member of the Uncanny X-Force, NightCrawler. This is most likely not the 616 Kurt Wagner who died during “Second Coming,” but the one from the “Age of Apocalypse” where X-Force is currently trapped. It would have to be for him to be comfortable with the measures that X-Force is capable of. We also learn that artist Robbi Rodriguez is joining writer...

So as for Fear Itself, well , some people are digging it, and some people aren’t. Personally, I don’t love it, but I certainly don’t hate it.

He made Squirrel Girl pretty bad-ass. Anyway, this last week we got Avengers #16 from Bendis with John Romita Jr. handling the art duties.

I really have to thank Jason Aaron. The man is an amazing writer, I don’t think that I’ve picked up a book written by him and was disappointed. A year or two ago when I found out he was going to be taking over the Punisher MAX series, I was skeptical. Garth Ennis had left the series and it just wasn’t that great anymore and I wasn’t sure that renumbering it with a new writer would make it any better. Sure, we got the return of the amazing Steve Dillon on art, but I didn’t think anyone could write...

We’ve been inundated lately by tie-in books from both Marvel and DC. DC’s FlashPoint has generated a ton of mini-series tie-ins, whereas Marvel’s Fear Itself has created both mini-series tie-ins as well as infiltrating currently running books. One of those Marvel books is The Avengers #15!
Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Chris Bachalo, The Avengers #15 is now the third issue of the series to be a Fear Itself tie-in. In the main Fear Itself title, seven mystical, Asgardian hammers have fallen...

The last of the regular Captain America series was issue # 619 and gave us the end of the Gulag story starting James “Bucky” Barnes as Captain America. The series had Ed Brubaker giving us a great come back story for Bucky. It ended nicely but still had lots of questions unanswered. Mainly where does this leave Cap? With Bucky seemingly dead in the pages of Fear Itself and now Steve back in the old blues, it seems to leaves us back where we started, with a man out of time. This is a new starting point with Brubaker...

Simon is probably going to disagree with me, but I think Fear Itself has been a really good story so far. Okay, so maybe it’s not as good as Civil War or Secret Invasion, but it’s been a pretty fun story and I’ve been enjoying it. As with every other big comic book event, Fear Itself has a bunch of tie-ins to go along with it and give you more of the story. One of my favorite tie-ins for this event is Fear Itself: Spider-Man, written by Chris Yost with pencils by Mike McKone. Those two names alone automatically...

Fear Itself: Uncanny X-Force #1 of 3 - try saying that three times fast. This Fear Itself storyline is huge, so naturally, every Marvel book has got to have a tie-in. With Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force already being in the middle of a pretty epic story-line, it’s up to writer, Rob Williams, and artist, Simone Bianchi, to put out a three issue mini-series to put Wolverine’s X-Force into Fear Itself. Is it necessary? Maybe not, but it’s a pretty fun read that works well with this group of mutants.

Last week there was a new Previews Magazine from Diamond Comics, so it’s time for Looking Forward September 2011
In case you’re not sure, Previews is the official magazine retailers use to order comics. Now, what you may not know is that the solicitations in Previews will come out two months before the release date. This time, we are going to look at the comics coming out in September, 2011. That is why this article is called,”Looking Forward, September 2011.” Please note, this not the full magazine.This only what...

Holy gee whiz! Have you fine people been reading the big Marvel and DC events going on right now? Those things are epic with a capitol, “Holy crap!”
In case you’re unaware, Marvel’s big summer event is called Fear Itself, in which a mysterious Asgardian who has been imprisoned for centuries breaks free and uses fear as a weapon against the heroes of the Marvel Universe. FlashPoint, DC’s big event, shows Barry Allen (The Flash) waking up in an alternate universe where not only are things drastically...

I think I made it perfectly clear in my Mighty Thor review a few weeks back that I am not what one would call a “Marvel” person. I, however, read eleven issues of Uncanny X-Men this past week, including the latest issue, #539. Now, I will criticize Marvel in the fact that apparently #540 comes out this week. I’m happy that I don’t have to wait and see what happens, but that’s a little silly. Not as comparatively silly as bringing back Animal Man, but that’s a whole other universe. I feel myself moving off on a tangent,...

Being as how The Fantastic Four was one of my all time favorite comics, one might think that I would be completely in love with FF. Well, up until this most recent issue you would have been wrong. I’ve been reading it and it was okay, but I just wasn’t into it. Slowly but surely, this book has been growing on me, but after this 5th issue, Jonathan Hickman has finally got me 100% on board.
Since Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four, he’s really been building on all these different plot lines, but it feels like...

Happy 4th of July! Today is America’s 235th Birthday. We, here at Comic Impact, have been hanging out on these lazy days enjoying all the great comics and the movies that go with them! We’ve had some great ones this summer, including X-Men: First Class, Thor, and Green Lantern. On July 22, Captain America: The First Avenger opens, starring Chris Evans as the Star Spangled hero that was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby over 70 years ago! In honor of the movie (and our great readers of Comic Impact), we have...

It is that time of the month, when you pay your rent and your phone bill, but it is also the time to look back at some of the best covers from that past month. My favorite was Green Lantern Emerald Warriors #11 by Dan Panosian.

Jeph Loeb. I love the guy and sometimes, I hate him. Ultimate X #5 finally came out and I remember liking every issue, but the problem is, I don’t remember what happened in the first 3 or 4 issues. Let’s put all the horrible delays aside for a minute because this last issue was really, really good. The Ultimate Marvel Universe has been kind of all over the place, but after reading this comic, I’m really excited for the future of these comics.
Jean Grey, who now goes by Karen Grant, has been in hiding since the...

Is there anything better than a Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale team-up? Probably, but you might have trouble naming fifty things that are better than a Loeb/Sale collaboration. One of my all time favorite stories from them is a 6-issue miniseries called Hulk Gray. The hardcover of this trade has been available for quite a while, but just recently became available as a paperback again, so I thought it might be appropriate to be the feature for this week’s Trade Tuesday.
First off, I love the way this story is told. It actually takes...

Captain America…this title has seen us through the return of Bucky, the death and subsequent return of Steve and now has thrown salt in our wounds as Bucky is serving time in a Gulag in Siberia. Ed Brubaker has taken the character that we all know and love and has breathed new life into him,bringing a gritty reality to all that is Captain America. This series has been a roller coaster and everything ends here in Captain America #619. So how was this, the last regular issue of Captain America? Read on to find out.

Did you manage to get a copy of Ultimate Spider-Man #160? If you haven’t yet, don’t worry because I saw that there are still some copies on the shelves at a few different stores. You might want to go pick up a copy before you read this because I guarantee there will be a few spoilers in this review. After all, this storyline is called Death of Spider-Man.
So this is it, the very last issue to feature a living Peter Parker in the Ultimate Marvel Universe. Peter’s been shot and is slowly bleeding out while he’s...

The end of an era is on your comic shelves this week. Today marks the release of Ultimate Spider-Man #160 and the death of the Ultimate Marvel Universe’s Peter Parker.
Some have speculated that this death, which was announced several months ago, would result in a stereotypical comic book “fake out death,” in which Peter doesn’t really die, but Ultimate Spider-Man writer Brian Michael Bendis (who has consistently written Ultimate Spider-Man since issue #1 in 2000) has said that at the end of Ultimate...

Alright, so Uncanny X-Men is coming to an end… at least until November when the book will return and be renumbered. What is it that’s going to destroy the X-Men? Well, it’s a story-line called Schism. What is Schism? I have no freaking clue. Luckily for us, writer Paul Jenkins has been putting out a mini-series called X-Men: Prelude to Schism. So far, all we know is that there is something so huge and threatening heading for Utopia that Cyclops has needed three whole issues to decide what to do about it.

The first comic book I ever got was X-Men Vol. 2 #1, it’s hard to believe that it’s been almost twenty years since that comic first came out. Now, I feel old and depressed. Anyway, this book just came out with its 250th issue under the title of X-Men Legacy. Writer, Mike Carey has been on the book since issue 188 and I’ve been a big fan of his run the entire time.
Since this is a big anniversary issue, it’s got three different stories in it. The first two are original stories with art by Khoi Pham for...

I’ll throw my hands sky high for you guys and admit that I’ve fallen behind the herd when it comes to keeping up with my weekly reading of single issue comics. Excuses aside, the relationship status I’ve had with my local comic store has been on the rocks for a just over a year, but right now I’m once again in a more accessible position to get my head back in the game.

Marvel Comics announced this morning that “Uncanny X-Men #544 publication in October will mark the end of the long-running series, due in large part to the events unfolding in “X-Men: Schism.”

Was this a big week for comics? It sure felt like it to me, but I think one of the books that stood out the most this week was Brian Michael Bendis’ Moon Knight #2. Although, almost anytime you get Bendis working with Alex Maleev, it’s going to be nothing but pure awesome. We’re only two issues in and I think this 6th attempt to give Moon Knight his own series could very well be the best.
So, Moon Knight has moved to Los Angeles and at the request of his Avenger pals, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine,...

We’re in to the 3rd issue of Fear Itself and it looks like everything’s going to Hell for the Marvel Universe. While Matt Fraction may have done something in this book that makes me want to give up on everything, at least I got Stuart Immonen’s pretty art to look at.
This book goes straight into the battlefield with Captain “Bucky” America leading the Black Widow and the Falcon into battle against Sin’s Nazi robot army. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to send the non-super powered Avengers...

Are we all excited for X-Men: First Class??? Join me, Susan, as I explore Hollywood, looking for people who are. This was a surprisingly difficult feat as I found that most people, A.) Did not know it is coming out this Friday, June 3rd, or B.) Did not know that they even made another X-Men movie. That made me sad on the inside.

Every book usually has an issue or two along the way that isn’t so great. Amazingly, Deadpool has gone 37 issues without putting out a bad book. It probably has something to do with the fact that Daniel Way has been there for every single issue. Throughout Way’s run, Deadpool has been a spy, a mercenary, a hero, an X-Man, a Pirate, gone to space, screwed over his friends, and been almost killed by those friends. So, what’s left for Deadpool? How about dying?
After the events of the last issue where all of Deadpool’s...

Just when I thought the comic industry was becoming more female friendly in their marketing, Marvel comes along and gives us these pajamas. They are supposed to be a sexy kind of sleepwear for the female comic fan, but really all they are is pretty hideous.

Poor Daredevil. The guy hasn’t had a decent comic book on the shelf in months and Daredevil Reborn #4 is no exception.

I wanted to enjoy this book, it had amazing covers from Jock and Davide Gianfelice’s art wasn’t too shabby.

New Mutants, it’s one of those books that’s gone through dozens of changes since it started in the early 1980’s. Over time, the book evolved, we got some new characters and everyone sort of grew up and the book became X-Force because the New Mutants weren’t so new anymore. They’ve tried filling the spot with books like New X-Men and Young X-Men, but after a while it became apparent that people wanted the original New Mutants line-up.

We’re now six issues into Heroes for Hire and it feels to me more like a first issue rather than a sixth one. Granted, it’s the beginning of a new story-line, but everything appears to be starting from scratch. Which, I think, makes for a great jumping on point for new readers.

I’ve never read a book by Brian Michael Bendis. Shame on me, I know. But after reading Moon Knight#1, I can see why people hold his writing in such high regard. And Bendis’ artistic partner with the pencils on this book, Alex Maleev, is a perfect fit for this character, book, and everything that goes with it.
The best way I’m able to describe the character of Marc Spector/Moon Knight is as follows: a former mercenary who was left for dead in Egypt, but saved (s0 Spector believes) by a deity named Khonshu. (Bless...

Gods who cannot truly die but are made to simply be reborn and relearn lessons time and time again. This is the immediate theme that writer Matt Fraction and artist Olivier Coipel are giving us with the re start of The Mighty Thor #1 but don’t look for this to be retelling of an origin or even to be a direct continuation of the story that Fraction was writing on Thor.
