Spider-ManXMEN

With the team that created the Spider-Man/X-Men coming back together, there was absolutely no doubt that this one will be a great. Christos Gage no doubt is a great story teller but without the outstanding artwork on Mario Alberti, his books wouldn’t have had the same bite.

So, when Gage decides to give Alberti a run for his money and try to outdo his artwork, the readers are definitely all set for a classic. Such creative rivalry is a great thing in terms of outcome and as long as it is healthy, no one would complain. This book definitely has the best of both, a great story and a superbly done art work.

Spider-Woman Vol2

The most striking thing about the second volume of Spider-Woman is Maleev’s art. It looks really amazing and is simply the highlight of this issue. The story begins with Jessica Drew finding herself in a Madripoor prison with grim and blurred surroundings. However, Maleev has a stunning job with the lights in this issue. The multi faceted artist has also taken this opportunity to show his skills with shadows and darkness in this issue imprisoning the mood and feel of the edition. The panel structures have also been given a personal feel.
