Michael Straczynski’s stint on Wonder Woman, it’s a little easy to overlook the fact that he’s also taken over writing chores on Superman. Plus, the Wonder Woman hype aside, his story line on Supes — titled “Grounded,” about the Last Son of Krypton going for a walk [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/07/23/review-superman-701/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>REVIEW :: Avengers #1</title><link>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/06/25/review-avengers-1/</link> <comments>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/06/25/review-avengers-1/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Jun 2010 20:43:38 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Carlton Hargro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[DISCUSS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/?p=2028</guid> <description><![CDATA[I’m liking the Avengers right about now. In case you hadn’t heard, after the Siege limited series, Marvel Comics decide to relaunch the entire Avengers franchise, canceling all the team’s books and then rolling out five new titles: The Avengers, New Avengers, Avengers Academy, Secret Avengers and Hawkeye &#38; Mockingbird.

Of course these mammoth events have become standard operating procedure for the “Big Two”; the last one at the House of Ideas, Secret Invasion, really stunk.

I haven’t exactly been loving Action Comics (sans Clark Kent) or any of the New Krypton books (sans awe-inspiring moments ). And, Superman: Secret Origin (an updated retelling of Supes’ earliest days) hasn’t been entertaining either … well, that [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/04/16/review-superman-secret-origin-5/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>REVIEW :: X-Force #25</title><link>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/04/08/review-x-force-25/</link> <comments>http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/2010/04/08/review-x-force-25/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:05:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Carlton Hargro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[DISCUSS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.heroesonline.com/blog/?p=1578</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the latest issue of Marvel’s X-Force (No. 25), writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost seem to be wrapping up a bunch of dangling plot lines, putting to close much of what they started rolling in the first issue of the series.

And as it ends, we’re left with one question: Was it any good? Well, it sucked a bit but, ultimately, it was an satisfying — and necessary — comic. First the bad.
