Immortal Iron Fist, Vol. 1: The Last Iron Fist Story

Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2007

Makes ME wanna challenge Shou Lao the Undying!
My favorite obscure Marvel character Iron Fist makes his return to comics in this book. Filled with superhero mysticism and crazy kung fu action, the stories contained within hold up well and deliver plenty of plot and drama. Billionaire superhero Danny Rand learns ...

X-Men: Divided We Stand

Mike Carey, Matt Fraction, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Divided Who Stands?
"X-Men: Divided We Stand" is not to be confused with "Uncanny X-Men: Divided We Stand." The latter stars Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, etc., while this book stars a B- and C-list of mutants, such as Cannonball, Husk, Nightcrawler, Storm, Neznho, Anole, Beast, Dark ...

Young Avengers Presents

Ed Brubaker, Brian Reed, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A variable collection of stories by talented creators.
The Young Avengers arrived on the Marvel scene in 2005 with a bang; the original twelve-issue series by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, published with increasing delays, ended midway through 2006. And then...the characters, at the threshold of real stardom, ended up in ...

Teenagers from the Future: Essays on the Legion of Super-Heroes

Timothy Callahan, Matt Fraction, ...

Sequart Research & Literacy Organization, 2008

Great Essays
The essays in this book cover just about everything in Legion history (except L.E.G.I.O.N. / R.E.B.E.L.S.). They vary in style and quality, but many are by themselves worth buying the book. Some are written by academics and others by fans. There are big essays on ...

Immortal Iron Fist, Vol. 2: The Seven Capital Cities of Heaven

Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

Finally... Iron Fist done right!
If you grew up during the 1970's Kung Fu craze you will love this series. If you grew up during the 1980's ninja craze you will love this series. If you grew up with Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II in the 1990's you will love this series. Iron Fist has been a ...

Sensational Spider-Man: Back in Black

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Matt Fraction, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

First half is great. Second not so much.
Collecting Sensational Spider-Man 35-40 and Annual 1, Spider-Man Family 1-2, Marvel Spotlight:Spider-Man and Spider-Man:Back in Black Handbook, this is the second book of two Back In Black hardcovers detailing Spider-Man's life after the Civil War events in the Marvel ...

Civil War: Marvel Universe

Ed Brubaker, Paul Jenkins, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Now this is my kind of TPB!
I'm a huge fan of the Civil War series and I have to say that the Civil War: Marvel Universe book totally exceeded my expectations. The artwork amazed me and its not one, but many different styles by the very talented artists who brought the illustrations to life. Not ...

Bloodsucker Tales, Volume 1 (30 Days of Night, Book 4)

Steve Niles, Matt Fraction, ...

IDW Publishing, 2001

I LOVE KODY CHAMERLAIN'S ART!!
BLOODSUCKER TALES WAS OVERALL A REALLY GOOD BOOK. THE WRITING WAS OK, BUT THE ART WAS AWESOME. BEN TEMPLESMITH CONTINUED HIS STYLE THAT HE DID IN THE OTHER BOOKS, BUT NEWCOMER KODY CHAMBERLAIN WOWED EVERYONE WITH HIS EXCELLENT REALISM AND COLORS. I LOVED THE ART IN ...

Punisher War Journal, Vol. 1: Civil War

Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2007

Great Book
I can see that this version of the Punisher has drawn mixed reactions, but this is a really refreshing take. Who needs another mindless version of the Punisher? The Civil War has given the Punisher new life. Fraction and Olivetti's approach reminds me of Will ...

Immortal Iron Fist, Vol. 3: The Book of the Iron Fist

Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

More tales of the Iron Fist. Can I get a "Kii-yaahhh!!"?
I've been an Iron Fist guy since the days of POWER MAN AND IRON FIST back in the '80s. In the decades following, dude's popped up now and again, but, disappointingly, Danny Rand barely registered a murmur on the comic book radar, not nearly enough noise to merit ...

Punisher War Journal Volume 4: Jigsaw! Premiere HC (Punisher)
Matt Fraction, Rick Remender, ...

Marvel Comics, 2009

All the players are assembled...the stage is set...the lights are lowered...and a conspiracy 18 issues in the making begins. This is it: the ultimate revenge saga as designed and engineered by Punisher's arch-rival, Jigsaw! He's killed off the loose ends from Frank Castle's life before the Punisher; he's replacing him on the streets with a leaner, ...

Immortal Iron Fist Volume 3: The Book Of Iron Fist TPB (Immortal Iron Fist Volume 3)
Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, ...

Marvel Comics, 2009

There have been sixty-six men and women to carry the mantle of The Immortal Iron Fist throughout the ages - men and women of great courage, valor, skill, and sacrifice. Sixty-six men and women have stood between man and the unstoppable forces of evil, willing to give all they have to hold back the hordes. This is the story of four of them - Wu ...

Punisher War Journal Volume 3: Hunter Hunted TPB (Punisher)

Matt Fraction, Ariel Olivetti

Marvel Comics, 2008

Surprisingly not bad
It has been no secret that I have not been a fan of Punisher War Journal since its debut. As a lifelong fan of the character, I have always felt that Garth Ennis' MAX take on the character is the definitive take on the Punisher, where as Matt Fraction's (Immortal Iron ...

The Order Vol. 1: The Next Right Thing (Iron Man, Avengers)

Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

The Superhero Book That Couldn't But Should've. . .
Matt Fraction is one of the most prolific of Marvel's new wave of young writers - and one whose name consistently promises quality comic books. The Order is no exception - it's probably the best book that no one was reading until it was too late. Early in the book, the ...

Punisher War Journal Volume 2: Goin' Out West TPB (Punisher)

Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

Laughable
Matt Fraction's (co-writer of the surprisingly good Iron Fist with Ed Brubaker) launch and run on Punisher War Journal has been less than flattering to the character to say the least. The issues contained in the first volume of the series found Frank Castle making his ...
