CBR Review: Prelude to Deadpool Corps #2

I recently reviewed Prelude to Deadpool Corps #2 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "While most of the plot deals with Kidpool and Scott Summers as they overcome their antagonistic relationship to work together after being stuck in detention and forced to miss the big dance with the girls from Emma Frost’s, the best material in this issue is in Xavier’s efforts to impress and win over Frost. Beginning with his series of toupees and some funny one-liners at the dance, he’s the best part of this issue. Depicting him is also the only place where Whilce Portacio’s art actually works."

CBR Review: Punisher: Frank Castle #73

I recently reviewed Punisher: Frank Castle #73 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "'Welcome to the Bayou' reads like a Garth Ennis outtake in many ways. In fact, it could be the plot of a Punisher/Preacher crossover with Frank Castle running into Jesse Custer’s swamp-residing family and being forced to kill them all to escape. It’s almost surprising that Ennis never did a story like this, actually. The concept has that right amount of serious danger and pure absurdity that Ennis likes to play with, after all: Frank Castle runs into a family of cannibalistic rednecks and has to avoid being dinner."

CBR Review: Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #1

I recently reviewed Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Because no one demanded it, another Deadpool ongoing title featuring an artist known primarily for his work on Star Wars comics and a novelist who’s never written comics before that will almost certainly be cancelled within a year! And, if the first issue is any indication, there will be some outrage from the hardcore Deadpool fans, while everyone else simply shrugs and mumble about how they thought the book had been axed three months earlier."
