Defalt

The origin of Winter Soldier

The writing by Ed Brubaker is great as usual of course, but the art is just okay with nothing interesting to look at and very hard to follow action scenes. Also it’s interesting to see some characters from the movies with different faces, although the cap looks funny to me.

And, as it usually happens with superhero comics, you need to know some additional characters who are connected to the cap from his earlier adventures.

I guess I'll continue looking for other Brubaker works elsewhere.

Spider mini adventures

A collection of short, fun, sometimes funny, very creative stories featuring a few spiders and a lot of villains (feels like every spider villain and a couple more).

The art is similar to double trouble comics, which suits these light adventures perfectly, and has some really nice scenes.

I should probably check out some other volumes in this series.

Cartoony Thor is kinda funny

The art is pretty nice, especially various and really cool Loki transformations. But the overall story is very simple—even compared to other double trouble comics—with a few fun character moments.

I hope we'll get another double trouble volume.

Manga about vikings…

This can be a good introduction to manga, especially if you like viking setting. The story has some nice features like a gradual unveiling of the situation through the whole volume and giving the reader just enough information to be intrigued. And of course interesting characters.

The art sometimes is almost as good as in Berserk—can be very detailed, shows the chaos of epic battles with a lot of sounds and things happening—,but it often has too many anime features, like faces. It’s also great at portraying snow—falling or covering everything—, seas, storms and auroras which looks unusual in black and white. The addition of maps is very nice and the action is fast-paced and has some anime features.

Overall it feels adventurous with a few funny moments, looking forward to some great story moments.

The Eclipse ends…

This can be traumatizing even for the reader.

Everything that happens during The Eclipse is really building up dread and horror inside. Some scenes are staying in my mind, I hope not for long. And again there's just too much unnecessary violence, especially towards Casca.

The ending has a feeling that no matter what you lost, no matter how hard it's to go on, you still can't give up.

I hope the situation gets a little better, but I need a break from this.

The Eclipse begins…

All the demons are just horrifyingly insane looking and so grotesque it’s hard to pull your eyes away from them. The art can't be better.

The whole Eclipse event is just shocking.

There’s nothing else to say, you just have to see it.

Immediately started the next one!

Demon Action

Finally we get some action against a demon and that fight is just wild, but basically it's just one long action episode with a lot of hints and foreshadowing about The Eclipse.

Of course the art is great, especially how the demon is shown, but some scenes just have too much unnecessary, gratuitous violence, even for Berserk.

Can't wait to see what's next!
