Enter the Heroic Age #1 Review


Wow, that's a very long list of creators in the font page, but Enter the Heroic Age #1 is an anthology. Five sets of creators have 8 pages to sell their wares and interest you in their respective series that launch or relaunch amidst Marvel's thematic change to the Heroic Age. No, they don't just 'borrow' pages from the ongoings, each story is written specifically for this book to compliment their respective series.

Shadowhawk #1 Review

Almost five years ago to the day the Shadowhawk was relaunched with Eddie Collins at the helm, a young character, of an age similar to that of Mark 'Invincible' Grayson. Eddie's tenure in a solo title lasted a one shot and fifteen issues, a title that in its short lifespan adopted many artistic styles and a lack of its own identity that may have perpetuated its premature end. Now the originally published Shadowhawk, Paul Johnstone is back.
