London – British comic book writer Al Ewing transformed into legendary British science fiction monster Gorgo and promptly began destroying the city Friday following news that Ewing would write 12 stories in Marvel's upcoming Marvel Comics #1000 anthology Authorities assured worried Londoners that everything was under control even as BBC News footage showed Ewing swatting[...]

Because as anyone could tell from a cursory glance of the teasers, there was a very obvious pattern, something clearly not as well-represented as it should be. Of course, we're talking about stories written by Al Ewing. For a long time, Marvel has had a severe lack of Al Ewing comics, only publishing 2 or 3 per[...]

Writer Al Ewing is creating a modern horror classic that is echoing the great Swamp Thing run of Alan Moore, and bringing so much of the Hulk's often times forgotten or ignored character history to do it Throw in pencils from a Joe Bennett that is elevating his game to new heights and covers by[...]

The Immortal Hulk battles against Sasquatch in a smashdown across the hospital that held Walter Langkowski. Is it a good read?

Wednesday draws near, and that means that it's time for another Comics for Your Pull Box. What is worth your time? We'll tell you here.

The Immortal Hulk has been spotted in South Dakota. Jacqueline McGee partners with the Sasquatch to find Bruce Banner. Is it a good read?

He sees what transpired as an insurmountable tragedy, shaking his faith to its core. The bartender's story provides more dry humor and something of a frame within the frame, and the actual frame of McGee's investigative journalism provides foreshadowing for future stories and a guest star appearance at the end of the comic. Once again, Al Ewing[...]

Another week passes, and that means it's time to count down the top and bottom five comics of July 4th, 2018. What will make the list? Read here to find out

That is, of course, when things don't go green. Immortal Hulk #2 shows a remarkable storytelling acumen from the talented Al Ewing He's impressed me before with Mighty Avengers and Ultimates, but Immortal Hulk may be his finest work yet The plot is tight, the theme is consistent, and Bennet, Ruy Jose, and Mounts keep things[...]

It's a bit late, but the Top and Bottom 5 Comics of the past week is here (that's June 6th). If you want to know the comics score for last week, read here.

Al Ewing has delivered something incredible indeed with this first issue, and it will hopefully maintain its quality This one comes highly recommended Give it a read. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] A terrible crime is committed at a gas station in the American Southwest The perpetrator goes to those who coaxed him into action while the[...]

The Cosmic Rider gives us a series of tales about the Mad Titan himself, Thanos, across the saga of his long life. Is it a good read?

The Avengers are still caught in the game between the Grandmaster and the Challenger, with Voyager's role in it all still a mystery. Plus, the Hulk is back and madder than ever. Is it a good read?

Before arriving at the current Black Panther series, we are going to take a look back at a couple of teams he enjoyed before the newest series under Ta-Nehisi Coates. From my personal experience, I had actually become more interested in T'Challa after reading about him in Al Ewing's Ultimates and Ultimates Squared Jonathan Hickman's New[...]

The question becomes who to send in to the Astral Plane to fight these gods. Inhumans: Judgment Day #1 cover by Daniel Acuna Al Ewing, Kevin Libranda, Mike del Mundo, Marc Deering, and Jose Villarrubia continue Ewing and Libranda's Royals directly with the opening to this miniseries We pick up on the main characters of Royals shortly[...]

Ultimates by Al Ewing, Kenneth Rocafort, and, later, Travel Foreman was easily one of the best comics to come out of All-New, All-Different Marvel Right out of the gate, this book presented a great team of heroes out to solve the biggest and most existential problems in the universe[...]

What does Maximus the Mad learn from Maximus the Mage? Royals #12 cover by Javier Rodriguez and Alvaro Lopez While this comic is an interesting read with some dramatic reveals about the intentions of the Progenitors, it is quite an underwhelming finale to a comic book series. Yes, Al Ewing is writing a follow-up mini with Inhumans: Judgement[...]

Based on the 1984 Bruce Springsteen hit off the album Born in the U.S.A., Avengers: No Surrender is written by Mark Waid, Jim Zub, and Al Ewing, and issues #683-686 are mostly drawn by by Paco "Funky Cold" Madina, with some help by Joe Bennett on #684. In a press release, Marvel revealed Mark Brooks's covers[...]

Similarly, in the Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers run, he stated how Asgardians didn't have concepts like straight and gay, and so such things don't factor into his own sexuality. In Al Ewing and Lee Garbett's Loki: Agent of Asgard, Loki changed shape and gender a few times. Sadly, readers have a little while to wait[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] U.S.Avengers #12 from Marvel Comics by Al Ewing, Paco Diaz, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna is a great example of when Marvel Comics can do really well, with a fun superhero adventure story that also has a layered commentary on the world outside our window This particular issue takes a very specific focus on[...]

The Inhuman Royals have narrowly escaped the Progenitors, but they still need the Prima Materia. This means facing the Progenitors again. Is it a good read?

Based on the hit Bruce Springsteen song off his 1984 album Born in the U.S.A. — we assume — Avengers: No Surrender is co-written by Mark Waid, Al Ewing, and Jim Zub, and features a rotating art team of Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto, and Paco "Funky Cold" Medina. "In month two of NO SURRENDER, the rubber hits the road[...]

The Earth has been moved, and the planet is suffering for it. The Avengers are uniting to meet this threat, but will it be enough. Is it a good read?

In Royals #10, the Inhuman Royal Family have arrived on the planet system of the Progenitors, the gods of the Kree. Is it a divine read?

Certainly, the original Avengers seems to be important part of the upcoming Avengers: No Surrender event, with a lot of artwork centred around the original Avengers statue with the addition of mysterious new character Voyager. Avengers: No Surrender will be made up of the several Avengers titles currently being released, Avengers, USAvengers and Uncanny Avengers, creating[...]

It's begun to interest me more and more in recent issues, but, even then, it didn't really have me grabbed. This issue changed that. Royals #9 is awesome. It feels like this is the story that writer Al Ewing really wanted to tell, and everything before this was an extended prologue intended to build up to this and[...]

Al Ewing and Mike del Mundo will be teaming up for Inhumans: Judgement Day, starting in January 2018 Ewing called the series "the capstone" of the Inhumans story they've been telling The story will essentially be Earth vs The Progenitors, the conclusion of the Inhumans story coming out of ResurrXion Daniel Acuna is on covers,[...]

Sunspot is cool as ever, Squirrel Girl is endearing, Cannonball has the Midwest charm, and Toni Ho is an intellectual badass. I followed Al Ewing's New Avengers all the way up until U.S.Avengers I dropped it for a number of reasons: there were other titles I wanted to read, Power Man, White Tiger, Wiccan, Hulkling, and[...]

The style is nostalgic of older comic book art in a manner somewhat akin to Art Adams. Flint actually gets some panel time in the second half of the comic, as well, which hasn't really happened much since that one issue where we manipulated the gravitational pull of entire planet. When Noh-Varr touches the Skyspear, his visions[...]

I liked Hickman and Spencer's work quite a bit, but it never quite reached the level of enjoyment I got from Bendis's books. Al Ewing did manage to reach that level and even exceed it at times with his Mighty Avengers and Captain America and the Mighty Avengers books I loved those series, and, when he[...]
