Classic Cover: MARVELous Monday Edition


Marvel Team-Up Vol. 1 Issue #67

Marvel Comics

Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 Comic Review


Let me just start this review by saying it is about time that Wade and Peter get a book together.  With that being said let the hilarity begin.

Anyone who has been a true comic fan knows that one of Spidey's gifts was the gift of gab.  Decades pass and all of a sudden we have a new comer wanting the title.  Of course we know the challenger as Wade Wilson aka Deadpool.  So it was only fitting for them to star in a title together.  We know Wade as the Merc with a mouth and he lives up to that title.  Don't believe me?  Just check out the panel above.

Issue #1 finds the team of Spider-Man and Deadpool in the depths of hell about to be tortured by the Mindless Ones.  How did they get there, well you really need to read the issue to understand the flashback.  Eventually they get free and resolve the issue at hand only to make it back to New York to be attacked by a polluted Hydro Man is bent on getting money or destroying the city.

the Mindless Ones aren't so Mindless anymore.

I know that you must be thinking, wait, Derf really hasn't told us much and you would be right.  This book is one that I really feel that you should pick up and enjoy for yourself.  I, myself, had some laugh out loud moments I am proud to say.  My biggest LOL moment was when Deadpool provided the Mindless Ones with brains.

Anyway, I give Spider-Man Deadpool #1 a strong 9 out of 10 rating.  Some people may give it a perfect 10, but there was too much going on in this issue for me to.  I look forward in getting issue #2 to see if Deadpool succeeds in his plan on becoming Spidey's partner.

Until next time, unleash your inner NERD and get your READ on!

Rocket Raccoon and Groot #1 Comic Review


Greetings Comic Lovers,

As stated in an earlier post,

I have forsaken my comic reviews on this site as of late with all the "real" world work I have been up to, but I vow that the year 2016 will be the year of change. I am still doing interviews and posts for the site Somewhatnerdy so I suggest you check that site as well.  For those of you who missed my interviews, click the link and see what I have been up to.  I have interviewed wrestlers, actors, directors, models, as well as the cosplayers you have all grown to love.  :)

Anyway, let's get to my first review of the new year shall we?

Rocket Raccoon and Groot #1 is a breath of fresh air after the events of Marvel's latest Secret Wars.  In fact, the book pokes fun at it a little as well as other things that are trending right now, including Star Wars.

The issue starts with  a galactic funeral for two of the greatest guardians there ever was.  Only problem is, as you find out later in the book, they are not dead. They are simply trapped in another dimension thanks to the events that took place in Secret Wars.


We find a stranger trying to buy passage from two familiar looking characters.  No it is not Rocket and Groot but that universe's version.  They agree for the transport only to be arrested and accused of theft from the ruler of the system they were assigned to go to.  That leader was none other than Rocket and the stranger is none other than Groot.  What happens next?  Well, we will have to wait for issue #2.

I personally loved this issue and I am looking forward to the series to continue to grow.  I give issue #1 an 8 out of 10 rating. The writing of Skottie Young is action packed with humor as always and the art of Felipe Andrade has enough Young qualities that fans love while making it his own.  I truly cannot wait to read more.


Happy New Year!

It is a new year and with that come new resolutions.  I have forsaken my comic reviews on this site as of late with all the "real" world work I have been up to, but I vow that the year 2016 will be the year of change.  My followers will grow because I am going back to the basics that made this blog great.  I am still doing interviews and posts for the site Somewhatnerdy so I suggest you check that site as well.  For those of you who missed my interviews, click the link and see what I have been up to.  I have interviewed wrestlers, actors, directors, models, as well as the cosplayers you have all grown to love.  :)
