Now Donny Cates also has a Marvel comic book out today, Thor #16 with Michele Bandini and, spoilers on, obviously he can't put the character in that His Crossover powers do not extend that far. Thor #16 But he does get to reintroduce someone to the Marvel Universe after some time apart…   Thor #16 Angela, as created by Todd[...]

And that Michele Bandini will be the artist on Thor #15 for the new arc, not Alessandro Vitti Is this permanent? For one issue? Has he been targeted by Mister Smith? Maybe we'll find out when Marvel Comics' August solicitations come around and see who is on the book… Alessandro Vitti No Longer New Artist On[...]

It scores points for prefacing this with a painful scene of young Ororo witnessing her parents' deaths, but it's not enough buildup for what this comic wants to pull off. X-Men Gold #34 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini bolsters the comic with solid artwork, but even that is soured somewhat in this installment[...]

Even if the comic didn't have more than a few moments of yikes, it would still be wildly mediocre. X-Men: Gold #33 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini does some good work on the visuals, giving the book a sleek and deceivingly simplistic aesthetic A couple of panel framings mess with the perception of[...]

Rachel and Kitty get some cool moments too. X-Men Gold #28 art by Michele Bandini and Arif Prianto Michele Bandini's artwork is absolutely gorgeous in this issue It adds a sleekness, expressiveness, and energy to the comic which adds an extra jolt of life to the proceedings Arif Prianto supports Bandini's work with bright and well-contrasted colors[...]

The only time this comic really connected with me is the instance where Carol finally interacts with Bean, and that is a short-lived moment. Captain Marvel #129 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini's art continues to hold steady throughout this issue The style has an appealing smoothness to it, and the characters are made[...]

It's far from charmless; it just feels pointless. Captain Marvel #128 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini's artwork continues to do the job The comic looks good, Carol gets a sweet darker suit, and Thanos looks as regal as ever, though it would have been cool to see him get a costume change too[...]

It gets a little too cute sometimes. Captain Marvel #127 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini's artwork continues to be quite good The Ravagers/evil Guardians of the Galaxy all have pretty clever designs which play on the original characters well Widower has a cool costume too, and Captain Marvel gets some sweet new duds[...]

The reunion isn't too dramatic, as Widow spends most of her time declaring how much of a scumbag this version of Carol is while the Captain stands in shock. Captain Marvel #126 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini's art is really good in this issue His work is usually solid, but it especially impressed[...]

However, writer Margaret Stohl makes it work. Captain Marvel #125 art by Michele Bandini and Erick Arciniega Michele Bandini's art is quite good It's expressive and works well for humorous scenes He's great at action scenes too, and his work has a definitively comic book-feel, too Erick Arciniega is a solid color artist too, and he grooves[...]

Fan-friggin-tastic. Mighty Captain Marvel #8 Art by Michele Bandini That's not to say this book is without its redeeming qualities The cast of characters are still good, and Margaret Stohl is good at playing with them, even if Hopper comes off like a dick for no reason. We get to see the reunion between Captain Marvel and Wendy,[...]

Michele Bandini has a sleek, clean style that works well with the setting being entirely in space Captain Marvel and Hyperion's powers look really cool, the Chitauri look menacing, and the energy web the Alpha Flight drones made looks nice The color work of Erick Arciniega matches the sleek look really well, and his focus[...]

Michele Bandini's art is very good It has a nicely stylized cartoonish aesthetic which fits the overall lighter tone of this series There is a nice amount of depth in the details, and Michael Garland and Erick Arciniega's colors are visually very pleasing There is[...]
