Comic reviews for the week of 12/14/11

Hot Pick of the Week: Star Wars Agent of the Empire: Iron Eclipse #1 of 5 (Dark Horse Comics) John Ostrander Writer/Stephane Roux Pencils


    As always John Ostrander delivers with some of the best Star Wars material to date, stop this guy. No really try to stop this man from putting some of the greatest Star Wars stories no matter what era of the iconic story can be displayed. That goes doubly for this new series, the art by Roux and inks by Hugonnard-Bert compliments Ostrander's word to the letter. Last time I was this excited about a Star Wars project like this was Star Wars: Legacy which is also a brain child of John's. It would also be nice to see what Jan Durrsema have to cook up next in this luscious universe. After I read this issue I went on CBR and see they have a review that gives this issue a 5 out of 5. Nice...This is the must have SW book!!!

Not So Hot:

Starting this week I am cutting books cause I have to get on a smaller budget and need more time to commit to my own art...Who gets the ax this week?

Journey Into Mystery #632 (Marvel Comics) Kieron Gillen Writer/Mitch Breitweiser Art **I thought this idea of a Loki book was pretty awesome, after a half a year it just wore me down and was so lifeless that this title gets the cut this week***

Uncanny X-Force #18 (Marvel Comics) Rick Remender Writer/Jerome Opena & Esad Ribic Art **I love this creative team and this book and it is safe for another month and probably a longer while then most. I have a soft spot for X-Force being that I was around from its inception and Rob Liefeld. Just did not like the ending to this epic storyline. Rick Remender is almost always on the mark. Everyone has off days, I still love Remender's work , the ending was just not my cup of tea.
