Predator Versus Wolverine #3 review




Predator: The Original Screenplay adaptation by Jeremy Barlow and Patrick Blaine is still not on the stands... but don't be too sad, there's a comic out there waiting for you, it's PvW #3 and it features some spectacular Zama art!

This issue: It's not very clear but apparently the Predator is now pining for adamantium, the indestructible metal bonded to our diminutive hero. Since the Predator isn't talking it's kinda hard to tell.


What I did like:

Japanese Transformers artist superstar Kei Zama is the reason to buy the book! Multiple copies would be best. You've got to support, Kei! Okay?

Pilot is a Schwarzenegger homage.

Other Pilot is a Carl Weathers homage.

NO Xenomorph in the trophy room. Makes sense since the Predator in this story is a cowardly pullet.

Reverse-engineering a Predator mask.


What I did not like:

A Predator killing a sleeping prey. Hard to swallow. Even if the Yautja is lusting for revenge.

Filleting a comatose Logan gives out barely any blood? Wolverine ain't got time to bleed? My pussycat scratches me and plasma spurts all over the place.

Wolverine knows the name Yautja,

The Yautja melts Wolverine's brain with acid. I'm sorry, but Wolvie would be dead.

Wolverine gets spewed out stark naked into outer space. I'm sorry, but Wolvie would be dead.

The Canadian mutant survives an uncontrolled atmospheric entry and a fall back to Earth? Sure. LOL. Nothing on this Earth could have lived.

A Predator helmet can withstand an uncontrolled atmospheric entry? Just like my Timex watch, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking? LOL.

Again just Canada. It's a big place Canada, be more specific, it's actually offensive to a Canadian.

You didn't name a pilot Sven-Ole Thorsen or Franco Columbu? Percy, you don't know your Arnie?

Still no Jean-Claude Van Damme homage!

I give it a 4/10. A really ridiculous comic that could be so much better, so much cleverer. Leave your brain in the wild North, you won't need it.

Transformers #12 (2023) review

Prepare for battle? You bet! With Robert Kirkman’s Void Rivals having launched Skybound’s Energon Universe, noted writer/artist rolled-into-one Daniel Warren Johnson takes the reins on the linchpin of this initiative, the flagship Transformers comic series! Well, he maintains the reins on the writing of this series at least, as does Mike Spicer on colors. Jorge Corona has taken over regular penciling duties with a style all his own. In this twelfth issue, the Autobots’ rescue mission has gone horribly awry as Ultra Magnus abandoned them in the middle of a fight! Can Optimus Prime turn things around against Devastator and stop Shockwave’s plan to transfer Earth’s energy resources to Cybertron, which is now hovering over Earth via space bridge? Fighty fight? This issue is indeed mostly a long fight scene, which is only fitting for the conclusion of the second arc. The main drama happens late in the issue where Optimus faces a choice that will define his relationship with his Autobots and

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane The Original Marvel Years review

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane the dour English Puritan Swashbuckler gets a complete collection of his classic Marvel adventures. Sadly no Dark Horse Comics Guy Davis monster creations inside at all. You get All the pin-ups, adverts, text pieces + All the Kane stories from The Sword of Solomon Kane limited series, Savage Sword of Conan, Conan Saga, Kull and the Barbarians, Marvel Premiere, Marvel Preview, Monsters Unleashed and Dracula Lives. My favourite stories are: A Marvel Team-Up featuring the ectomorph: Kane in his twilight years and the mesomorph: Conan the Barbarian in his prime (The Moon of Skulls II: Death's Dark Riders by Roy Thomas and Colin MacNeil). Kane versus a ghost that kills (Skulls in the Stars by Ralph Reese). Kane versus a Lovecraftian cloud of blood (The Footfalls Within by Don Glut, Will Meugniot and Steve Gan). Kane versus the bat-people (Wings in the Night by Don Glut and David Wenzel). Kane versus vampires/zombies/the walking dead men (The Hills of t
