Iron Man #318 Enjoyable. Slag. Kaminski ends his great run with a good story about Tony battling his own mentor. It's stuff we've seen done before, but done here as a swansong, it carries extra weight. Sometimes context facilitates enjoyment. I have a bad feeling about the upco…

Iron Man #317 Relentless action. Tony (as Crimson Dynamo) battles Titanium Man. Non-stop action. Again, the villain's motivations are smartly/sympathetically written. But, the really clever/exciting thing here is having Tony in different armour. Some funny/sexy stuff with Tony …

Blonde Phantom [Marvel Mystery Comics #85] Poor. A ventriloquist and his dummy. So, Blonde Phantom goes on a date with Mark Mason--in full costume!--and there's a robbery after the show. Turns out the dummy from the act is real! The nasty duo lock BP in a closet. Somehow, thi…

Iron Man #316 Feels like classic Iron Man. Crimson Dynamo! It’s delivers the sort of action you would want from this book. But there’s genuine empathy for the villain and his plight, which leads to a cool final page. Space made for foreshadowing, too. On two fronts. And it all …

Iron Man #315 High quality comic. Titanium Man! Breaks nicely into 3 acts. First, IM averts a disaster. Thrilling stuff. Then, the middle act takes an unexpected turn towards serious drama. Finally, we are knee-deep in classic-style IM action in the final pages. All in all, it’…

Captain America #438 Very good. Flag Smasher returns! Wasn’t expecting Steve to be back in action again so soon. Or to get a major redesign. He’s almost Iron Man now. As the start of a new arc, it works really well. The villain provides a threat and enough resistance to demonst…

Iron Man #314 Very cool. I love comics like this. Tiny Tony goes inside stricken Steve's body to implant a biochip. Pure sci-fi/fantasy. Great fun. These two old friends don't always see eye to eye, but we get a nice bonding moment between them later on in the comic. We also ge…

Captain America #437 Weaker than recent issues. "Your time is now." 13 pages of dreaming in a 22-page comic. Not my favourite thing. I get it. Cap is lying at death's door--in the Med Center at Stark Enterprises--and his mind drifts back to previous battles with The Red Skull. …

X-Force #44 Underwhelming reboot. The kids wait for news while Cable and Xavier makes plans for X-Force. The new creative team takes the series in a new direction. One of the book's biggest assets was the group's renegade/outlaw status. That's gone now. Another great asset was …
