I'm Back

For the last few weeks, I've taken some time off from posting things to the blog. I felt that I should prioritise my exams over posting on here, but they are over now so I'll be back now.

There will probably be a slightly different  schedule for posts, but I haven't sorted that yet, so I'll keep you all updated via Facebook and Twitter as to when everything will be up.

However, I'm unsure of when videos on the Youtube channel will return.

Review of Batman #25 - The War of Jokes and Riddles Begins (21/06/2017)

Image
So, in my last Batman review, I alluded to this event taking place. 'The War of Jokes & Riddles' officially began this week, and let me tell you, it was great. The entire issue takes place as Bruce is telling Selina the story of the event. Bruce had been Batman for around a year at this point in time, and the focus of the story is of a conflict between The Riddler and The Joker, where they essentially both want to kill Batman, but is not willing to allow the other to do it. I really recommend that you go and check this first issue out, it is currently £2.49 on Comixology, and is 36 pages, due to it being the 25th issue, and the title has been going for a full year and a bit. As I have said, this issue of Batman is brilliant, and features two of Batman's greatest foes. The art from Mikel Janin is great, along with Tom King's writing, as usual, being stellar. I GIVE THIS ISSUE A RATING OF 8/10.

Classic Comics - Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975)

The cover for the relaunched X-Men title. This week, for this third instalment of Classic Comics, I will be discussing Giant-Size X-Men from January 1975, written by Len Wein, with art by Dave Cockrum. A bit of background for this book. In 1963, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the X-Men, a team of teenaged mutants, led by the telepath Professor Charles Xavier. Although it was an initially successful publication, sales began to decline throughout the 1960s, before the title was cancelled, having been filled with backup stories and reprints for many years. The original X-Men team consisted of Scott Summers, known as Cyclops, Warren Worthington III, known as Angel, Bobby Drake, called Iceman, Henry 'Hank' McCoy, codenamed Beast, and finally Jean Grey, known as Marvel Girl, and the only female member of this original incarnation. The team was later joined by Alex Summers, who is Scott's brother and codenamed Havok, and also Lorna Dane, AKA Polaris. The issue begins in W...

HEROES REBORN #1 - A Surprising Return to a Much Derided Concept

  This story was written by Jason Aaron, with pencils from Ed McGuinness. I understand that I promised to review this title today and everything, but boy was it a long process to actually get it all started. My usual schedule for my reviewing starts just after I have had lunch, where I then spend the next few hours reading the titles for that day and splurging my thoughts out on to this very page. In the couple of years or so that I have been reviewing my comics seriously, there as not been a single one that I have ever been stressed or worried or just completely unwilling to read, until this dreary Spring day that is. For the entire morning, since I woke up at half past nine, I had been dreading the exact moment that I would sit down at my desk, as I really just didn’t want to have to acknowledge the existence of this rehash of a concept that I am sure everybody had hoped died a horrible permanent death after it’s failure the first go around. As a little disclaimer, I have never ...
