Tommy Vergason Comic Reviews

I love Marvel comics. I love Marvel characters. I just can't love House of M no matter how hard I try. It breaks my heart. If you're loving Bendis's reign at Marvel, then by all means - read this book. If you're not into his work, however, try your best to hunker down and wait for things to eventually change.

A nice mix of the familiar and the strange. Though its hard for me to reconcile how this story will morph over the next two issues into what we see when Peter is righted by Layla Miller in House of M # 5 (it definitely appears that Peter is still a Big Man on Campus at that point rather than a public disgrace), I will give the writers the benefit of the doubt. If youre a Spider-Fan, this mini is definitely worth your time.

This is not only a great first issue of what looks to be a promising new series, it also serves as a sort of bridge between past and future developments in the DC Universe as a whole. If you like what DC is doing these days, you will undoubtedly enjoy this book.
