Power Man and Iron Fist are possibly the best known buddy super heroes. It’s hard to even think Power Man without Iron Fist popping up in my head. I didn’t even know a new series for them was happening until just a few hours ago. I had to rush out and get my greedy little … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Power Man and Iron Fist v3 #01
Sometimes trailers look perfect. That paint beautiful pictures of movies. But how often do those movies actually hold up? You know what, forget the fake out. Creed was awesome. Creed Director: Ryan Cooler Screenplay: Ryan Cooler and Aaron Covington Quick Review: Yes! To everything about this movie. Just, yes! And more. Family, and fatherhood, and … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Creed
The first issue of this series was the best book I’ve read from this current line All New All Different Marvel launches. (Although, to be fair, I haven’t read that many.) The second issue, was just as fun, even if it didn’t get reviewed. But, a great two issues doesn’t insure a great third issue. … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Totally Awesome Hulk #03

Basically, every time you read something, either good or bad, you gain some insight in to what makes a good writer. Obviously, reading what is … More What I’m Reading
I had a lot of fun reading Totally Awesome Hulk. So much so that I decided to jump on to another character I have been interested in but worried about reading: Sam Wilson, or I guess I should say Captain America. Let’s see how that went. Captain America: Sam Wilson #1-6 Writer: Nick Spencer Artists: … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Captain America Sam Wilson #1-6
Still trying to get back into the swing of reading the newly released comics. That this comic is only two months old makes it one of my more recent reads. But it is another substitute hero. That hasn’t worked so well so far with my being less than impressed with the substitute Thor, Wolverine, or … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Totally Awesome Hulk #01
Despite being overall fairly mediocre, last issue ended on a pleasant surprise. I’m keened up to read where this next issue goes. Let’s see how that pans out. All New Wolverine #03 Writer: Tom Taylor Artists: David Lopez & David Navarrot Publisher: Marvel Quick Review: The first three pages of this comic is great. We … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: All New Wolverine #03
I’ve been a fan of James Robinson for a while now and as disappointed when his Invaders series was canceled last year. But recently he has had two new series launch. I read his take on Squadron Supreme and just found it okay. Not bad, but it didn’t move me enough either way to write … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Scarlet Witch #01
I’ve been having a great deal of fun reading some of the more modern “classic” comics. On one hand there is the spy/noir masterpiece that is the Brubaker Captain America. Over here we have Priest’s Black Panther. Both make for some solid reading. Writer: Christopher Priest Artists: Joe Jusko, Mike Manley, Mark Bright Publisher: Marvel … More Wayback Review: Black Panther v3 #6-12
Continuing my re-read of the Brubaker run on Captain America. I’m attempting to do more than just giggle and clap at how awesome these comics are, but maybe that is the best way to express how good they are. Captain America v5 #15-21 Writer: Ed Brubaker Artists: Mike Perkins, Steve Epting Publisher: Marvel Quick Review: … More Wayback Reviews: Captain America v5 #15-21
