The incredibly charming comic Ms. Marvel and Wolverine #1 does a great job of reminding readers about all of the wonderful things about Kamala and Logan’s not-quite-friendship. It will give them a lot of action to enjoy and a storyline worth sinking their teeth into.
REVIEW: Gambit #1 Takes Remy Back to Basics
Gambit #1 combines our hero’s natural, smooth charm with an odd tale of mentorship. There are some wonderful choices mixed in with some truly unexpected ones, creating a narrative mixed bag.
REVIEW: Han Solo & Chewbacca #4 Bends the Wookiee
Han Solo & Chewbacca #4 is both a semi-silent, action-packed romp seen through the eyes of Chewbacca and a quippy action romp featuring Chewbacca and Han Solo’s (apparent) biological father going on a rescue mission to rescue Han. It’s a decent story with some great dialogue that moves the story along, but the art is…

Sequential Sartorial: Hellfire Gala 2022 Reveals, Russell Dauterman Edition
Marvel has officially announced the framing of the 2022 Hellfire Gala, confirming earlier promises it would become a regular event. It is, however, significantly scaled back on a publishing front this year. Instead of a multi-issue crossover event, as we got last year, this year’s Gala is a single one-shot. That certainly hasn’t stopped Marvel…
REVIEW: Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird #1 – Finally!
In a recent Indigenous speaker series I attended, Dr. Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair spoke about Indigenous literature and I was excited to see John Proudstar, aka Thunderbird, included in his slides. Unfortunately, the X-Man was included as an example of how Indigenous people have been poorly depicted over the years, largely because it is not Indigenous…

Marvel’s Deadpool: Black, White and Blood #4 miniseries closes with a quip and a bang, but it still lags behind the series’ first outing.
REVIEW: X-Men Red #1 – Life on Mars?
Storm versus Storm, disco revival, an austere castle, a name change — this first issue of X-Men Red has it all. Most importantly, it has a strong theme, with this issue examining the power and malleability of names, and how those names create identites. Names for people, their titles, and the names we give things…
REVIEW: The Moon Knight Premiere is a Barrel of Laughs (and Scares)
In the Moon Knight premiere, Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) has an ordinary life — except when people start alluding to things he doesn’t remember. And there’s all the trouble he has sleeping. He has so many vivid dreams; or are they nightmares? What if those dreams aren’t in his imagination at all? What if Steven…
