Grumpy Bird Reviews: Doctor Strange #1

October 27, 2015

Ready for a spooky review this close to Halloween? If so, I guess Doctor Strange counts. The good doctor reminds me of Wonder Woman in that they are both heroes that seem tricky to nail down just right. But here comes Jason Aaron’s take. Is he the guy to find the right balance?

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #6

March 19, 2015

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of silver age Marvel comics thanks to the Marvel Unlimited app. This includes some Kirby Thor (currently fighting Galactus.) I’ve been enjoying the heck out of them, but there is a side effect. Switching for Silver Age to modern comics can sometimes make it feel like nothing happens in … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #6

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #5

February 14, 2015

MJ Thor kicks some Absorbing Man butt and then punches a Titania that has already surrender for a kind of wash action scene. Asgard plots thicken like an over cooked stew. And a shirtless Thor Odinson drinks. Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Jorge Molina Publisher: Marvel The basic plot synopsis is above, so let’s just get … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #5

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #3

December 11, 2014

In my last review I discovered that I liked the issue a lot more if I just imagine Lady Thor as secretly being Mary Jane Watson. It helps this issue too, but unfortunately I find this more issue less enjoyable than the last two. Verily, diminishing returns. Thor #3 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Russell Dauterman … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #3

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #2

Since I recently made a post of my initial thoughts concerning the new direction for Thor, I figure I might as well review her debut issue. Thor #1 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Russell Dauterman Spoiler-free (as if it hasn’t been spoiled already) synopisis: Frost giants attack earth! Thor can’t lift his hammer! A new Thor … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Thor #1

Thoughts on (Lady) Thor

September 18, 2014

There has been some buzz about the upcoming changes to the status quo of Marvel’s Thor comics. Namely the current Thor, Thor Odinson, will become unworthy to wield Mjolnir. An unrevealed female character will pick up the hammer and thus become Thor. This identity of this character will be a secret even to Odin, or … More Thoughts on (Lady) Thor
