Yea, this is the original solicit for the Bryan Hitch issue this one is replacing.  Why did I put it here?  Because DC still has it on their site and I am not getting paid the big bucks to change it.  Do you need a reason to read this issue?  Bryan Hitch isn't writing it...that should be enough!

Moon Knight #14 Review - Marvel Monday

I Love A Full Moon

Written by: Jeff Lemire
Art by: Greg Smallwood
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: May 31, 2017
Review by: Josh Vermillion

It’s finally here. The day I’ve been dreading for a few months is here. Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood’s run on Moon Knight has finally come to an end. I think I’ve been one of this book’s biggest proponents for months now, and I’m sad to see it go. Jeff Lemire has redefined this character and put together a truly great example of storytelling. I can only hope this final issue wraps up everything that has come before, and leaves me with a smile on my face. Let’s wipe the tears from our cheeks and find out.

Doctor Strange #21 Review - Marvel Monday




Writer: Dennis HopelessArtist: Niko HenrichonPublisher: Marvel ComicsRelease Date: May 31, 2017Cover Price: $3.99

I’m jumping onto this book as Hopeless comes to the character. I’ve become a somewhat new fan of Hopeless as I’d call his Spider-Woman run one of my favorite books of the last few years. Although some were sad to see Jason Aaron’s run come to an end, I had been really back and forth on the overall feel of it as it seemed to not really grasp whether it wanted to be more comedic or more on the dark side. So I may have been one of the few excited for Hopeless’ take on the book.
