Roger De Leon Comic Reviews

Guardians of The Galaxy #4 issue leaves much to be desired but isn't all negative, with the payoff leaving this reviewer waiting with bated breath.

This is a decent issue, a definite worth read for the avid fan.But it's not stellar by any means, and that may not be enough for Guardians of the Galaxy to garner new fans " at least from the comic book front. I expect more out of this all-star cast, and I know they'll get out of this slump soon enough.

Superior Foes of Spiderman #1 is a great issue; however it's too soon to make a definitive statement about the future of this series.With fresh young talent found in Nick Spencer and the brilliant art direction of Steve Lieber, I know this new Sinister Six is in great hands. They must remember to take risks however in order to set themselves apart.

My primary concern is that the risks that are being taken are occurring to soon in this story's life cycle. I feel like the team may have tried to fix something that wasn't broken, which concerns me. I like the willingness to take risks as this fearlessness is key to making your book thrive. I commend the effort, but I don't think this was the best choice. Hopefully we will see some a recapturing of the throne in future issues.

First impressions are important. This issue not only succeeded as an excellent introduction to a huge fall event for the X-Men, but it also converted this reviewer into an X-Men reader. I seriously can't wait to play catch up.
