CBR Review: Age of Heroes #4

I recently reviewed Age of Heroes #4 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "The conclusion to the anthology series intended to shine some light on some of the lesser known or unseen corners of the Marvel universe as 'The Heroic Age' begins, concludes with an epilogue to Doomwar/a prologue to Klaws of the Panther, a story about Steve Rogers’s influence on the Inuit who found him in the block of ice, two pages of Zodiac being awesome, and one page on Cloud 9 whose point escapes me. It’s a very hodgepodge issue that offers a little bit for a variety of readers (emphasis on the word ‘little’), but none of it coheres together, making it questionable who the intended reader is."

CBR Review: Doomwar #3

I recently reviewed Doomwar #3 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Thankfully, a part of this issue is very interesting, giving it something to make it worthwhile: Doom passing through the final security measure in T’Challa’s vault containing Wakanda’s vibranium. The final lock is a test of purity where any lies or negative motives will result in the death of whomever seeks access to the vault. T’Challa is mystified as to how Doom made it past this final stage and the issue bounces between Doom confronting Bast, the guardian and panther god of Wakanda, and T’Challa and the Fantastic Four preparing to take on Doom."

CBR Review: Punisher MAX: Naked Kill #1

I recently reviewed Punisher MAX: Naked Kill #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Novelist Jonathan Maberry seems to be the latest writer from another medium to be Marvel’s 'go to' guy. He has a Wolverine story in Wolverine Anniversary and a new gig on Black Panther, but Punisher MAX: Naked Kill is nothing but cheap violence that reads like a third-rate copy of Garth Ennis’s 'The Slavers.'"
