Comic Book Reviews: She-Hulk, Marvel Zombies and much more!



Thanks to Spacekicker on YouTube for his great Blue Beetle Primer. Check out more of Spacekicker’s comic book videos at:

We’ve got a Newsarama Review of She-Hulk #26. In this issue She-Hulk’s has some identity issues and is questioning whether or not she’s a hero. Spoiler Alert: She-Hulk gets her pants blasted off!

We also review Marvel Zombies 2 #5. We’re not completely thrilled with the final issue of this series. It felt like the characters were a bit removed from their environment.

Comic Book Comics deals with the history of comic books in the form of a comic. It truly represents what a comic is all about and we think it’s really well done and a great read for beginners.

In the Speed Round we review Shadow Pact #22, The Flash #237, Immortal Iron Fist:One-Shot, Zorro #1, and The Spirit #14.

How should I write my book review for the newspaper?



I'm in eighth grade, and I'm on the newspaper staff for my school. For the newspaper, I am writing a book review on the book Leap Day by Wendy Mass. I have read Leap Day several times and I know the book well, but I'm having problems with the article. Should I just write a general outline of the events in the book, or something else?
Thanks in advance!

Well start of by saying
Nuts!
Everyone out there is nuts.
This is sure to catch everyone attention and make good reading, what ever your writing and probably later they throw you off the staff team.
Well at least you tried?
Good luck

How should I start a book review?



I have never done it, and I am new to it. I have to do a book review of "The catcher and the rye".
How should I start it? Do I just strat with the summary. Or say how good the book is first?

The summary of the book and then add in your opinion.

How do you write a book review that would be good for a blog?



I have never been great at writing. I volunteered to read books and review them for my library's website — I have a book read, but now comes the hardest part: writing my thoughts up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Actually all you have to do is to talk into a tape recorder about the book and then transcribe it onto the computer.

Or…just write it down exactly how you are thinking about it.

You wrote quite a lot in your question, no spelling mistakes, good punctuation, and well worded. I think you are selling yourself short by saying you have never been good at writing. Just do it and you will see how it will just flow out of you. You wouldn't have volunteered if you hadn't thought that you could do it.

MCR News, Comic Book Reviews Kick-Ass, Captain America, more



Breaking News: Lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way is calling Umbrella Academy his debut comic. BUT, we dug up a comic he published way back when he was in high school called “On Raven’s Wings”.

Mark Millar and John Romita take on real life people getting into superhero suits in Kick-Ass #1. This “real life” superhero even has a MySpace profile. Is this a gimmick or is it a book worth picking up? Find out in this review.

Is Thor #6 the Thor we’ve been waiting for? It’s still early on in this series, but we think this book has finally arrived with this issue.

Then Captain America #35, continues the great story arc with Bucky as the new Captain America. Justin calls it “an event comic written like a regular comic”.

In this Speed Round, we check out Good & Evil #1 which actually had some unexpected Biblical overtones, Ex Machina #34, Brave and The Bold #10 which is fun old school comic book action, Abyss #3, and Locke & Key #1 written by Joe Hill, Stephen King’s son.

In the mailbag: Metamorphic asks about our take on Mini-Series. Do more minis mean less attention to long-running series? Are more minis a good thing?
