| Carlos Nieto and Stefano Caselli’s art coupled with David Curiel’s vivid colour work take a 3-star story and elevate it easily to four stars. This book is lovely to look at, and full of intricate design, from the clothes to the architecture. Outstand ...more | |

Chad's review
of
The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 2: Through the Gates of Hell:
"John Romita Jr. returns for the first 3 issues of this along with a new bad guy, Hellgate, who seems to have stepped out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. It's like there are two separate comics going on that Joe Kelly has meshed together. Then it "

| Best read after Valkyrie Volume 2, this tale starts off strong before collapsing under the weight of far too much narration and multiple interweaving threads of story that add up to very little worth mentioning in the end. Excellent art and colour wo ...more | |

"Marvel is doing its best to make these Jane Foster books as hard as possible to read in the proper order by changing the title of each series. With this one you can't even search on 'valkyrie'. But this is still Jane Foster and Runa (cinematic valkyr"

| Dodgy dialogue and dynamic art. Good character work and well worn tropes. Awesome colours and so-so storytelling. This is middle of the road Spider-man, folks. Get it while it’s lukewarm. | |

“From his vantage point on the window sill, The Dude cocked a rear leg back over his head and proceeded to lick at his private parts with a thoroughness that would make a lesser man blush. I shook my head at the sight and mumbled, “Show off,” in the animal’s general direction. For a moment the tiny kitten hesitated, leg still extended behind its head, face still over its crotch. It narrowed its eyes at me, let out a displeased sound, then promptly got back to work.
I suppose there are worse things than being a cat.”

“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

“They say you can know a man by his enemies, Dresden." He smiled, and laughter lurked beneath his next words, never quite surfacing. "You defy beings that should cow you into silence. You resist forces that are inevitable for no more reason than that you believe they should be resisted. You bow your head to neither demons nor angels, and you put yourself in harm's way to defend those who cannot defend themselves." He nodded slowly. "I think I like you.”

“We are not going to die."
Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. "We're not?"
"No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. "Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. "And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.”
