Eric’s Image Comics Review: MONDO #1

February 21, 2012 - 6:20am

Part streamlined superhero origin, part culture commentary art comic, Mondo #1 intrigues as much as it entertains with an easy going sense of humor and great art. Still, the real proof in the pudding will come with subsequent issues.

Erik's Marvel Comics Review: WINTER SOLDIER #2

Readers who were shocked at the apparent death of Bucky Barnes in the pages of Fear Itself will no doubt be pleased that the character survived and is back to his roots as a spy, written by the mastermind who brought him back in the first place: Ed Brubaker. The Winter Soldier has a good cast, big action, and believable enemies and heroic motivations.

Pietro's Movie Review: GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

February 16, 2012 - 6:52pm

Nicolas Cage once again portrays Marvel Comics' flame-head in the not-really anticipated sequel to the poorly received 2007 film Ghost Rider. Unfortunately, while the sequel ups the ante on stylized action it takes two massive steps back in regards to story and characterization; so much so I found this film to be a detriment to the franchise's possible future.

Cassie’s IDW Publishing Review: ROAD RAGE #1
