Comic Review: Violent Comics from Marvel!

(Warning This Post Contains Violent, Gory, and Mature Content!)



I recently picked up Robert Kirkman's and Cory Walker's version of the Destroyer, and it does not disappoint. Destroyer is based off the character Keen Marlow, a pre-marvel / Timely Comics character that was created during the Golden Age of comics (1930s - 1940s). If you're looking for a fast paced, straight up, no bs, action comic, this comic is for you!

This title comes from Marvel's MAX Comics line, which is for mature readers only. I gotta give credit to Marvel for creating this line and growing some balls!

Also look up Destroyer on wiki! He would be a great character to do for the golden age of comics show in July. Here he in his Golden Age attire.

Another great comic that's been out for awhile now is Mark Millar's and John Romita Jr.'s KICK ASS. This comic been coming out in spurts, but each issue is worth the wait. Like Destroyer, its got a lot of action and gore, with a little bit of teen angst thrown into the mix.

This one is published through Marvel's Icon Comics imprint, which is geared toward more creator-owned titles.

To no surprise,this title already started being made into a live-action movie, while the comic is still ongoing and not finished. It does look pretty darn faithful to the material though and its being directed by a kick-ass director, Matthew Vaughn.



That is all!
