Infinity Countdown #5 art by Mike Hawthorne, Jose Marzan Jr., and Jordie Bellaire Mike Hawthorne and Aaron Kuder both do a decent job in this issue Kuder's work really disappointed me last issue, and that is mostly made up for in this installment His panels tend[...]

Mike Hawthorne, along with inker Terry Pallot take over for the Warlock sequence; it looks decent, even if Adam's face looks quite odd and it's hard to discern what's going on with the Surfer from a visual standpoint Bellaire provides excellent work throughout, with a lot of color being splashed about the page in a[...]

It's just that this series has been of dubious quality at best in recent years.

He almost never seems to be in control of whatever situation he's in, and even the meaningless conflict involving Loki is caused by the Trickster God banking on Peter being witless and reckless. Amazing Spider-Man #795 art by Mike Hawthorne, Terry Pallot, and Marte Gracia At least the art is quite good Mike Hawthorne manages to make[...]
