Comic Book Reviews: Uncanny X-Men #494 and Nightwing #140

July 6, 2010   ·   Video Book Reviews   ·     ·  

We’re all enjoying the Messiah Intricate crossover in Uncanny X-Men. But, we’ve got a couple of gripes. Watch this episode to find out what they could be doing better.

Then, in our Newsarama Sneak Review, we check out Youngblood #1 and Nightwing #140.

In Youngblood, we reckon the report line sounds a small familiar. Watch the show and see what we mean.

We spoil the “huge” reveal at the end of Nightwing #140, so be warned.

Then in our speed round we check out Thunderbolts #118, Northlanders #2, Shark Man #1, Wildstorm Revelations #1, and Gravel #0

In our viewer mail we talk about how we’d feel if by this time next year, Marvel has undone the end result of “One More Day”.

    I’ve just picked up and read owing to come forth 0-9 of the comic “Fall of Cthulhu” and it’s fantastic, report driven take and continuation from a grand H.P. Lovecraft small report. I’d like to hear your take on the comic, also there’s a TPB with the first 0-7 issues out “I got lucky and found all the issues at my local comic shop instead of having to go with the TPB”

    Review, preview. And “thanks you”? WTH?

    Regardless, entertaining as always. I subdue want to hear you guys discuss series that are already complete, and give recommendations for would-be readers. So I’ll insist in your comments section. :)

    Thanks for sharing – you guys deserve more viewers.

    Yes! One of my top 3 favorite bands!

    Damn straight Marvel is the real universe bitches!!! Also, like the t shirt Justin. Augie March are incredible.

    I don’t reckon Peter and MJ being married ruined Spider-Man, but it was just never written correctly. They kept showing MJ as just his wife caught in the background. She was never described as a realistic person. They should have focussed in on making the marriage more realistic, and we would’ve had a touch that wouldn’t need a retcon. It also seemed like everything went downhill after Romita and JMS left (except the total gwen babies. Terrible go JMS. Terrible go).

    I choose. It WAS written well. But it’s ludicrous, offensive and wholly unnecessary. Felt like a way for the editorial team to get out of a box without having to be creative.

    I’ve got mixed feelings about OMD. I felt the total thing just came and went to quick. To do a retcon that huge in only four issues, felt sloppy to me. Not that I like the thought much anyway. But, in its defence, I thought it was written well.

  8. SmileOnADog on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    Which show will I not be seeing? You get three guesses.
    I’m glad the web shooters are gone. I’m glad that Harry is back. I reckon that the erradication of the marriage is hugest mistake Marvel has ever made.

    they need script writers and the middle guy needs sedatives.

    Be grateful GOD I’m not a Spider Man aerial!!!!

  11. Oppp2 on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    WAR RAMBO!!

  12. GodofRoads on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    I see that OMD got rid of some stuff that I was ambivalant to. (Organic web shooters, I didn’t even reckon about that anymore) and the Other storyline was being ignored anyway, but even so it got rid of so much more that I really loved that when I weigh in on it I gotta go negative. I have always argue with Joe Q about the Marriage between MJ and Peter and I always will.

    I thought Shark Man was entertaining. And Thuderbolts is just a GREAT COMIC.

  14. odouglasj on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    I’m a huge fan of Nightwing. He’s the original Robin. But he’s grown up and went on. He can’t be “Boy Wonder” forever. But he doesn’t want to be Batman Jr. any. I reckon he’s a fantastic character.

    Visits from Superman can get tiresome, but.

  15. Daredevilfan182 on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    I watch Dcompose’s Spider-Man 101: One More Day review the dudes a huge spidy fan I saw people feakin out I just reckon its another go for Mavel to bring new readers which obviouly there fantastic at otherwise I wouldnt be typin this. Anywho kool vid thanks again to Pulpsecret another fantastic review.

  16. Daredevilfan182 on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    I dont follow Uncanny altough this Messiah Intricate might exchange that fact. I heard NightWing is a fantastic comic and Iv been meaning to follow up on it for a while now but Im just following to many titles at the moment. And isnt X-Force from waaayy back I reckon it ws Lighting Comic or a touch does anyone know?

  17. kingcanti on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    Another fantastic episode.

  18. Dragon92364 on November 8th, 2008 9:42 pm

    RE: How would I feel if Marvel undid “one more Day” a year from now??? I wouldn’t f***ing care! Straczynski & Quesada are both JERKS and have ruined the Spider-man franchise for the forseeable future, and it will be a long time previous to I bother with it again.
