I wanted to like Stohl's version of Carol Danvers... Wanted being key. This book (and the 'Mighty Captain Marvel' series) skews to a younger demographic, that I'm just not part of anymore. I know they want to get young readers, so it does accomplish that, I think.
Yet another rehash of a story that's been told over and over. How many times does Carol have to lose control of her damn powers? Nothing new here, move along.

Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction

The inspiration for the Ron-Perlman led movie(s) of the same name, Hellboy - like the lead character - is sort of a strange mix: in this case, of the occult with the medium of the graphic novel with a very Cthulu-like monster at the end of the tale.

I also have to say that this is proof that Marvel and DC aren't the only two publishers in the world able to produce compelling and enjoyable reads!

Classic Who Done it with a twist
Have watched it twice now, once at the cinema and another at home through Amazon. Enjoyed both times, the plot does twist and turn but you might be able to guess who it is. Sorry but this should have given Daniel Craig a different accent as it was rather bad. Son who is a big Marvel fan found it strange watching Chris Evan play a different type of character.
