Fanboyplanet.com likes “Marvel Nemesis”
Fanboyplanet.com on “Marvel Nemesis” Issue One, which hit stores Wednesday:
Marvel does a videogame crossover that could be just a cheaply hyped book. But they put Greg Pak on the writing and the mysterious Renato Arlem on the art, making for something creepier and more clever than it deserves to be.
Kudos from IGN.com
IGN.com gives “X-Men: Phoenix – Endsong” Issue Five this week’s “Sweetest Cover” prize and offers the following review:
The swansong for this saga is certainly the best issue of the five and is handled quite nicely. It’s a tad sentimental, but then, so is every great comic-book drama.

“Phoenix – Endsong” Issue Four reviews
“Greg Pak delivers the enormous scale of the mini through the subtle emotions and decisions of each of the individual X-men.”

“… a surprisingly successful exercise in getting under the skin of the core characters, while serving the needs of continuity into the bargain.Ý Much better than it has any right to be.”
