MARCO SPEAKS SPIDEY: Spider-Woman #10 Review
This story has been building up for ten issues now, and the last chapter of this arc delivered a worthy ending for Spider-Woman’s tumultuous dip into the dark side, once again. But as with previous […]
MARCO SPEAKS SPIDEY: S.W.O.R.D. #4 Review (‘King in Black’ Tie-In)

MARCO SPEAKS SPIDEY- King in Black: Thunderbolts #3 Review
Norman Osborn’s plan makes sense. At least, in my head, it does. Kingpin knew what he was doing when he assembled this team of Thunderbolts, and recruited Osborn. It is the classic Trojan Horse, which […]
