The matchup of Aliens vs. Predator was first made available by Dark Horse comics more than two decades ago. It has since been remembered a couple of times and you may also have come across some movies made on this concept. With the possibility of a movie looming large, Dark Horse has decided to relive the clash between these gigantic species. The book in spite of the combined genius of Rick Leonardi and Randy Stradely fails to induce any sort of excitement to the readers.

This issue of the Amazing Spider Man has been wonderfully written by Dan Slott, but feels more like a filler issue than anything. The issue sees Spider Man and Black Cat teaming up with the latter making a comeback after almost 14 issues. They gear up together to teach Mr. Negative a lesson.

X-Men Pixie Strikes Back vol1

The series of “X-Men” begins in a little odd manner with different girls from the new mutants changed into an unrealistic high school setting. It does take a little time for the readers to get into the thick of things. The issue highlights the unique style of the writer who after a recent overlooked stint returns with a more commercialized series.

secret warriors

The entire story of “Secret Warriors” has been written beautifully by Jonathan Hickman who has managed to present the story in a series of scenes that build up to another and leading the story towards an exciting finish. Unlike other stories that revolve around a main character, the story of “Secret Warrior” gives an account of four different organizations and many sub-groups and has new characters taking the role of the central character.

The Devil Made Flesh

The fourth issue of “The Unknown: The Devil Made Flesh” marked the end of the second mini-series of “The Unknown”. Although the issue is entertaining, it fails to match the earlier issues of the series. The revelation that Scott Tilton had been the murderer of the single soul solved the mystery of the killer in Colorado in the issue which also sees Catherine, the world renowned detective being trapped in the caves. The issue explains the reason for Tilton’s fixation with the caves and how he slewed his companions.

Batman Vol690

This issue of the Batman would probably see Judd Winick conclude his run as a writer as he is going to be replaced by Tony Daniel who will replace him as the writer from the next issue. Winick’s brought back Jason Todd and although he had a brief run to the title, he made it very clear how good he is at writing Dick Grayson. Winick depicted Grayson-as-Batman to be a person with a mix of confidence with a bit of wonder.

S.W.O.R.D. Vol. 1

The story of the debut issue of the S.W.O.R.D. is quite different from what its cover has to suggest. Look at the cover. Don’t you get a feeling that that it would be a very serious super agent comic based in space? Well! Guys! This is actually closer to comic books like “She-Hulk” and “Secret Warriors”. Kieron Gillen has done a fabulous job with the humor of the story which appears to be in sync with the drama of the story. However, the work of the artist Steven Sanders in the issue is far from being satisfactory.

Star Trek

Fool’s Gold Vol.1 takes place between the third and fourth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and being the first act of television episode sets up the plot in a great way without delivering much interest on its own. It creates an intriguing mystery which explains the state of the incoming and outgoing traffic to DS9. Quark who seems to hold the answers does not provide much of a clue. The issue starts in a way that would throw some light on the background of Deep Space 9 for new readers and focuses on two suspicious characters who arrive at the station for unspecified reason.
