2099 Fantastic Four // Review
Sometimes, family isn’t who you’re born with. It’s who you find along the way.
Spider-Man: Life Story #6 // Review
The perpetually depressing Spider-Man: Life Story finally comes to a dour end.
Spider-Man: Life Story #5 // Review
The mission statement of Spider-Man: Life Story seems to be “everyone who Peter Parker loves must die horribly, for no reason.”
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #8 // Review
Miles Morales: Spider-Man takes a turn for the Kafkaesque in the bizarre and claustrophobic #8.
Spider-Man: Life Story #4 // Review
Spider-Man: Life Story seemed like such a great idea on paper, but instead it’s a depressing tragedy, like this version of Peter Parker’s life.
Meet the Skrulls #5 // Review
The final issue of Meet the Skrulls is a satisfying conclusion, as the remaining members of the Warner family reclaim their identities.
Spider-Man: Life Story #3 // Review
Spider-Man: Life Story continues to be uneven, but this issue is a strong improvement over the last issue.
Meet the Skrulls #4 // Review
Meet the Skrulls #4 opens with a battle scene and ends with a shooting. Every moment in between is a goldmine of compelling action and deepening character. As the second-to-last issue of this spectacular spy miniseries, this issue is packed with reveals, returns, and reversals.

Savage Avengers #1 is gorgeous, but unsatisfying--not a meal, but a tiny snack.
Meet the Skrulls #3 // Review
Meet the Skrulls #3 is one of the most visceral, pulse-pounding issues to come out of Marvel in quite a while, and makes a good break from big crossovers and their incessant tie-ins. Do not sleep on this sleeper hit.

Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #2 // Review
Slick and professional art doesn’t save Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #2 from tired jokes, boring characterization, and low stakes.
Meet the Skrulls #2 // Review
Meet the Skrulls #2 is an excellent mashup of sci-fi, espionage, and family drama. Highly recommended.
Spider-Man: Life Story #1 // Review
Spider-Man: Life Story #1 is a solid start, using familiar characters and beats to set up an exciting study of Peter Parker.
Meet the Skrulls #1 // Review
Just as the Captain Marvel film brings the Marvel Universe’s oldest alien race back to the forefront, the first issue of Meet the Skrulls is a promising start.
