Fanboyreview.com on “Marvel Nemesis” Issue 4
“Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects” Issue 4 hits stands on Wednesday. Here’s an excerpt from the FanBoyReview.com advance review [WARNING: SMALL SPOILERS]:
Pak shows a deft hand for character interaction.
I’m a whore for the Marvel Universe getting together, which is happening more and more lately. I like all the main characters interacting, like they do at DC. And here it’s all the more interesting, because the Marvel characters come from such diverse, disparate backgrounds….
Daredevil flying a Quinjet. What more is there to want?
ComixFan.com review of “Iron Man: House of M” Issue 2
An excerpt from the ComixFan review:
Based on the story alone, Iron Man: House of M belongs next to Spider-Man: House of M as the mini which uses this reality�s premise most consistently and most interestingly. This is not a Doom or Hulk solo book or a New Avengers/Astonishing X-Men crossover. It�s a book about a racist society and the compromises and dilemmas faced by those trying to survive and/or destroy it. On the strength of his writing here as well as on Phoenix: Endsong Greg Pak deserves to be given a major ongoing title.
