Milenko's Graphic Novel Reviews

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: It flows perfectly like I've come to expect from Mark Millar.

The Storyline: Captain America goes rogue when he meets The Red Skull and finds out the villian is his own son. The Avengers are assembled to stop him as well as get something back from Red Skull he stole from Reed Richards.

Artistry: Clean & crisp which is how I like it.

Re-readability: 100%

How much I Liked It: Enjoyed every page.

Final Thoughts: another must read that made me feel some feels. By the end I actually felt bad for Red Skull.

My Rating : * * * * * out of 5

The Amazing Spider-Man #200

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

(recommended by John McCass)

How Everything Flows Together: It's a single comic so it flows together nice

The Storyline: Mysterio has shot Spider-Man with something that takes his powers away at the same time his Uncle's killer comes back to NYC looking for something in the Parker house. Spider-man must save his aunt and avenge his Uncle's murder (that he could have prevented but didn't)

Artistry: very dated. It's ok but not anywhere near my favorite.

Re-readability: 49%

How much I Liked It: It was ok. The lack of back story is what killed it for me. Action was good though so it wasn't to bad

Final Thoughts: This made me realize why I don't do single edition comics. In order for me to get the whole backstory I would have to go back and read a few more which is a pain in the ass on my computer. I much prefer someone else combines them into one book than doing it this way.

My Rating : * * * 1/4 out of 5

X-Men: Second Coming Revelations

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: It flows ok. It's not a single title but it does have a single overarching storyline that brings it all together.

The Storyline: Mutantkind is on the brink of extinction but are fighting for the survival of the species

Artistry: There's actually a few different styles but none of them are bad to the point that it takes anything away.

Re-readability: 80%

How much I Liked It: I liked it but that's probably because of my love for everything X-Men more than anything else.

Final Thoughts: It was ok but without the ones Justin said comes before this one I was a bit lost. Read them in order or risk confusion.

Uncanny X-Men: Manifest Destiny

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: It flows pretty good

The Storyline: Emma Frost & Scott Summers move everyone from New York to San Francisco where they face the same trouble they had before.

Artistry: Very realistic. I actually thought some of the scenes had photos in them.

Re-readability: 47%

How much I Liked It: I liked it but that's again that's probably because of my love for everything X-Men more than anything else.

Final Thoughts: Well worth the read if you got some time to kill.

My Rating : * * * 3/4 out of 5

Wolverine: Get Mystique

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: It's all a single story

The Storyline: Wolverine chases Mystique around the world while we (the reader) get a glimpse into their history.

Artistry: Dark & Gritty which really suited this Graphic novel.

Re-readability: 88%

How much I Liked It: I love everything Wolverine and this was no exception.

Final Thoughts: Only one thing bothered me. They said Mystique betrayed the X-Men a few times and that's why Wolverine wants to kill her but they never said what exactly she did, which bothers me just a little bit.

My Rating : * * * * 3/4 out of 5

Thor

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: perfectly except for the last few short stories that didn't have anything to do with the main story

The Storyline: The main storyline is that Odinson is unable to lift the hammer after Nick Fury whispers something in his ear. However a strange woman does pick it up and is now the new Thor. Odin wants the hammer back and goes a bit nuts trying to do so including sending The destoyer to Midgard to get it. Odinson spends his time trying to figure out who the new Thor is.

Artistry: Very good for the main story. The short stories ranged from meh to just silly.

Re-readability: 85%

How much I Liked It: One of the newer Graphic Novels I've read (2014) but it was very good. The comic industry is very good at keeping up with the times.

Final Thoughts: Well worth the read, especially if you don't know who the new Thor is and want to find out..

My Rating : * * * * out of 5

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

Artistry: Very good & it suit the story perfectly.

How much I Liked It: Being a chef & a fan of Anthony Bourdain I absolutely loved it.

Final Thoughts: A must read for anyone who loves a more out there grahic novel. You won't be disappointed.

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

I got bored of just copying & pasting my old review so i got 2 new ones to do before i start that back up again.

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

How Everything Flows Together: It's all one story so it flows like you would expect

The Storyline: Blak Bolt makes his way home after being imprisoned. He has to notify his friend's wife of his death as well as come to terms with his padt.

Artistry: a little bit rough but very well done at the same time.

Re-readability: 73%

How much I Liked It: Despite not knowing much about the characters or the backstory I liked it a good bit.

Final Thoughts: The lack of backstory kept it going any higher but don't let that stop you as it's enjoyable on it's own.

My Rating : * * * 3/4 out of 5
