Off-Topic: Comic Book Reviews

Marvel's AVENGERS ARENA #12
Note: Though the issue feels a bit rushed, it continues what has been a good recent run of good writing for this book. Starting of slow, AA has been getting better and better. Today it is one of Marvel's best books.
Art: 2.5 Stars
Dialogue: 4 Stars
Pacing: 2.5 Stars
Storyline: 4 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars


DC's EARTH 2 #15
This issue is not the best this book has offered. The issue is split between two stories. This threw off the pacing this time, which is hard not to notice as EARTH 2's pacing is usually incredible.
Art: 4.5 Stars
Dialogue: 3 Stars
Pacing: 2.5 Stars
Storyline: 3 Stars
Overall: 3 Stars


Big Dog Ink's LEGEND OF OZ: THE WICKED WEST #10
The brilliance of this comic is on full display here. The mystery aspect is really emphasized. This story draws you in and you really feel the uncertainty of the characters themselves, and all without being overly cryptic.
Art: 4.5 Stars
Dialogue: 4 Stars
Pacing: 4.5 Stars
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4.5 Stars

Zenescope's WONDERLAND: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE #3
While the WONDERLAND series have gotten a little repetitive, the art and dialogue are still good enough to make the comic more than worth buying.
Art: 4 Stars
Dialogue: 4 Stars
Pacing: 3 Stars
Storyline: 2.5 Stars
Overall: 3 Stars

Marvel's HUNGER #s 1-2
I'm including both issues here because they both came out recently. This book has me really excited. There is a comedic aspect to the dialogue that rocks but doesn't overpower the book. Check these issues out.
Art: 3 Stars
Dialogue: 5 Stars
Pacing: 4 Stars
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4.5 Stars

DC's PHANTOM STRANGER #11
This is only my second issue of PS but wow am I impressed. The Trinity of Sin storyline is absolutely riveting. The theological themes are handled so well. Simply sublime.
Art: 3 Stars
Dialogue: 3.5 Stars
Pacing: 4 Stars
Storyline: 5 Stars
Overall: 4.5 Stars
