Hulk Issue 6 Review (2014)
Title: Hulk Issue 6 Publisher: Marvel Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 5/5 The Hulk is a hard character to write. I get it. It's been 50+ years of telling a story about the same old character.

Alice Cooper Issue 1 Review
Title: Alice Cooper Issue 1 Publisher: Dynamite Publishing Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 4/5 Okay, this comic came out a few weeks ago, and I didn't get a chance to chime in.

Original Sin Issue 8 Review
Title: Original Sin Issue 8 Publisher: Marvel Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 4 out of 5 No secret I like Jason Aaron. Just started following him, but everything I read by him is special.

All New X-Factor Issue 13 Review
Title: All New X-Factor Issue 13 Publisher: Marvel Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 5 out of 5 Peter David is someone I didn't know I liked. I'd read some Hulk (see Incredible Hulk 417 or The Bachelor Party issue).
