Welcome back to Stew’s Reviews! I’m your host Rob “Yes Rob, Not Rod” Stewart. When last we met, I was reviewing one of my absolute favorite comic book stories of all time, Kingdom Come. Hopefully you’ve read and enjoyed KC as much as I always have, and you haven’t read it… rectify that quickly! Jeez, what do I have to do, hold your hand? This … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Viltrumite War
Back in my high school days, I went through an unfortunate “I’m too old to keep reading comic books” phase for two or three years. I’d try to keep up with some stuff in passing (which was much harder back in the formative days of The Internet), but I wasn’t reading or buying anything with any regularity. Kingdom Come was the book that put the … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Kingdom Come
So it has been revealed that, after quite a lot of speculation and hoping, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire will, in fact, appear in the third entry of the MCU Spider-Man flicks. Obviously take this with a teensy-tiny grain of salt because it’s not Official-With-A-Capital-O yet, but it’s being reported multiple places. As the link above states: A Sony source “closely involved” with the film, … Continue reading Spider-Men!
THE NEW MUTANTS: Mutants As Metaphor: -The idea that Mutants were a perfect metaphor for one’s Teen Years came to me a little late. Early on, it was a simple metaphor for prejudice- using a fictional minority to show the absurdities and horrors of man’s inhumanity for “the others” among them. And of course, it WORKS for that, and will pretty much always stay relevant … Continue reading Jabroniville Deep Dive: New Mutants
I really dug Wolverine as a kid. I can actually remember why that was even the case. At the first inkling that I was going to start getting into comics, my dad told me that Wolverine was a great character, and that I should follow his and the X-Men’s adventures. This is unusual to me because I don’t even recall my dad ever liking Wolverine … Continue reading The First Five
Another week, another comic book storyline to review, fanboys. This time around, I’ll be discussing the classic Spider-Man tale that ran through all three primary Spider-Man titles (Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Web of Spider-Man) in 1987, Kraven’s Last Hunt. Now this story was published just two or three years before I was old enough to get into reading comics, so I had missed out … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Kraven’s Last Hunt
That’s right, it’s another installment of Stew’s Reviews, fanboys (and fangirls, of course, because I am an inclusive fellow). Here’s moving into the realm of Image Comics for this week with a review of the “Confessions” story arc from Astro City! Speaking of confessions, here’s mine right off the bat: I got into Astro City far, far too late because I am a terrible and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Astro City – Confession
Welcome back, comic fans, to Stew’s Reviews! When last we reconvened, we discussed the merits 2005’s morally ambiguous (if a bit too rapey) mystery story from DC, Identity Crisis. Today, we’re shifting over to the Marvel side of things and taking the Delorean back to 1978 to remember the time the Avengers were given the worst CPR ever. The Korvac Saga, which ran from Avengers (volume 1) … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Korvac Saga
