This week we review four comic books, two with the words “Uncanny” in their titles; prudes among us better close their eyes as there are plenty of kissing and blood-letting going on. Poor ol’ Bucky can’t get a break, and while the hunt for his unwittingly wayward girlfriend, the Black Widow, ends in Winter Soldier [...]

So how do you kill Wolverine? The last issue of Uncanny X-Force highlighted that death by drowning would be the way to go for the old canucklehead. But Wolverine dying (even by the hands of his son Daken, in a tank of water) wouldn’t be much fun and that’s why in Uncanny X-Force #34, you [...]

Following the decimation of the team in issue #27, the X-Force team takes a leap of faith (with some really nifty work by Psylocke) 30 years into the future in Uncanny X-Force #28 in chapter 4 of Final Execution. You may say that I’ve got an X-Force bias, but in my defence, I would say [...]

SDCC might be going on now (wished I was there, someone please send a Court of the Owls to my address , but folks, don’t forget that we have an amazing bunch of comic books released this week. Regardless whether is it coming from DC, Marvel, Valiant or Image, there seem to be an overarching [...]

“Holy-crazy-hoot-of-a-brother-you’ve-got-there-Batman!“. I must say DC’s the New 52 has done Batman a great service. The Night of the Owls has just concluded and in Batman #10, a pissed off Batman goes off hunting the Court of the Owls, and comes face to face with….his BROTHER! Yup, the companion story in the same book fleshes out [...]

Lets see, issue two of The Manhattan Projects is out, and this new series based during WWII from Image Comics is pretty cool and asks this question: What happens when Oppenheimer was replaced by his sociopath evil twin. Plenty of intrigue there. The latest issue of Uncanny X-Force (#24) sees less of Otherworld (and the [...]

It’s that time of the season where we look back on the year that has just gone by and…….. come up with a Best Of list. This year, Nine Over Ten 9/10 is doing something that hasn’t been done before in the history of this site. For the first time ever, we’ve got like enough [...]

OK, it looks like this whole War of the Green Lanterns thing seem to have dissipated just like that and any form of closure is replaced just with air. At least the re-boot is not too far away, this whole Flashpoint thing is throwing spanners into everything as well. It’s suprising that the most “normal” [...]

It’s a bit of a slow news day, so lets check out what’s interesting on the comics book front. My favourite kill team, X-Force, take on  “Father” in Uncanny X-Force #7 in order to prevent an ugly Deathlok-y fate for every superhero out there in the conclusion to “Deathlok Nation”. Deadpool gets the kill and [...]
