I Love Comics (Blah, Blah, Blah…)

NEW COMICS 4 THIS WEEK (10/07/20)
*All comics will be rated on a scale from 1 to 10*

– “All You Need Is…?” by Kurt Busiek & Chris Bachalo takes the readers back to Peter Parker’s college days as he meets up with The Red Rajah, an old Defenders villain who emerges from a mystical crystal called the Star of Capistan. Using a museum as a backdrop for the battle is excellent as well as using J. Jonah Jameson as the host of the Rajah, plus I also like how Spidey was listening to The Beatles while battling The Rajah (Cool!); First off, let me just say it’s amazing (No pun intended) that Kurt Busiek returned to write a Spider-Man story (Or any story for Marvel) as he is absolutely one of the best storytellers in comics and with Chris Bachalo providing the artwork (His best to date) this is a story that you’ll want to read over and over.
– “Four Shoes” by Tradd Moore (Making his writing debut) sees Spidey tangle with someone wearing some stylish medieval armor all while trying to save …….ready for this!…..a dog named “Tina Four-Shoes” who is a wizard (Yeah I know, it’s weird!); This story could have had a lot more balance to it, but since it’s Moore’s first time out as a writer, I think most comic fans will cut him some slack. And his artwork was basically all over the place, making it hard for anyone to take this story with a grain of salt (
Eddie Peverill
was right all along about Moore’s art); Hopefully, his writing will get better as time goes on.
– ” A Family Affair” by Saladin Ahmed & Aaron Kuder delivers the first-ever meeting between Starling (A character mostly known to show up in “Miles Morales: Spider-Man”) and who’s the granddaughter of Adrian Toomes (The Vulture) meets up with Spider-Man. It was a great story but nothing to brad about but at the same time, I understand that Ahmed and Kuder had six pages to work their story in so I can’t nitpick any further.
Overall, this oversized issue of ASM will make any Spider-Man fan happy with the contents within this issue, but somewhere down the line Marvel should consider adding more backup stories with lots of fanfare and leave some in a file (I.e. Moore’s story)

so this new era of Batman under Tynion’s watch will continue to be an absolute home-run and it will only get better as time marches on.


At the same time, what really made the story so great was that you could tell nothing was normal (At least when it comes to Natasha Romanoff), and seeing as how the surface of Nat’s new life is slowly beginning to unravel will really get anyone invested in this storyline as this could be a sensation spy thriller.
Well, that’s it for me this week. I’ll be back with some new reviews so thanks for sticking around and I will see you all next time.
