Lukas Schmitt Comic Reviews

Thanos, the Mad Titan, is a storied villain with large scale plans and passions. It's a blast to follow such a larger than life character as he attempts to get back whatever normal life looks like for an immortal god like being. It's a power fantasy to end power fantasies. It should be interesting to see where Lemire takes Thanos and to what depths his foes, who are gathering in the shadows, will be willing to go to bring down the Mad Titan.

What drives Violet Paige, what did Dominic see, and how will the Batman deal with all of this? There's no way to know, which is why I highly recommend strapping in for what is sure to be a wild ride through the storied city of Gotham alongside Mother Panic.

David Walker is telling us something as clearly as he possibly can " our process of imprisonment is suspect and possibly corrupt. It is braver than I ever expected a Marvel comic to be, and I am blown away.

If there's one thing Shade the Changing Girl isn't, it's boring.

Aaron is cutting deep here into the character of Stephen Strange and how much the ruin of his hands has changed him on a fundamental level. For Strange to accept this reality would be to reject all of the changes he has made for decades. This, like no other moment in Jason Aaron's run on Doctor Strange, convinces me the story is in good hands.

Her first new case centers around a woman whose husband believes that his life is a fabrication. It makes for some delicious dramatic irony we the readers know that the Marvel universe was recently reshuffled and it's a definite possibility that his life was altered in the massive reboot. Of course Jessica doesn't know this and it will be interesting to see if she uncovers this massive secret at the heart of her world. Jessica Jones is headed for a reckoning as she attempts rebuild her life and it's gonna be a blast to read how it unfolds.

Worth the read for the art alone, pick up the Descender series for everything from sad robots lost in space to angst fueled teenage romance.
