Saga_3

I enjoyed Saga #3 but the cliff-hanger felt forced. I’m just not sure why I should care (at this point)…

As I write this review I am watching the last episode of Battlestar Galatica. This issue reads like one of…

X-Men Schism_5

Art wise this is arguably Kubert’s worst work. Story wise. Too much is left up in the air (like why…

May 25, 2012 1:15 pm Picked this up based on the iFanboy community's reaction and Paul's interview with Lemire on the "Don't Miss" podcast. Was thoroughly entertained by this.
May 25, 2012 10:52 am agreed. nice to seem something from him.
May 18, 2012 3:06 pm To that end, if his wife comes at him with "who's Gwen" right after his near escape from death it doesn't make her likeable in the slightest.
May 18, 2012 12:15 pm Sorry @DrewHLMW. Don't give up on this story though. In fact, you have a piece of knowledge that no one else who's read Hickman's run had. If you go back and start reading Fantastic Four #570 you not only get the start of a great 3 yr run of comics but you'll have a somewhat unique interpretation of the story.
May 17, 2012 1:37 pm To that point, @zlbenson, what if the opposite is true? If the Council of Reeds were 'evil', what if the Parliament of Doom are 'good'? What if that's why Valeria let the 616 Doom escape, to reform him? They should cancel Fantastic Four after Hickman's run. There's no one out there who can follow this run.

May 17, 2012 10:27 am I enjoyed Saga #3 but the cliff-hanger felt forced. Then it reminded me that cliff-hangers have been BKV's "go to" and it kind of disappointed me. It made an extraordinary series thus far seem like an ordinary BKV series.
May 17, 2012 10:27 am Just that it's set in space, there's hand-written lettering, and it's a good read. Story-wise, premise-wise, it's quiet different.
May 17, 2012 9:12 am If you're keeping score, this is the 4th PoTW for Hickman in 2012. His 3rd for his Fantastic Four/FF run. He currently has twice as many PoTW reviews than Brian K. Vaughn, Mark Waid, and Scott Synder.
