When Marvel announced a while back that it would be launching a new “Noir” line of books that included Spider-Man, my first thought was that it probably wouldn’t be very good. Not that it couldn’t be, just that it wouldn’t be. I’m pleased to say that I was somewhat wrong.

If you read my last X-force review, you already know I’m rocking some serious wood for this book, but If you’re reading it too, you probably understand my love of it. With great writing and terrific artwork, you can’t miss X-Force #9!

With no date set for the Power Girl solo-series announced, I had to settle for the next best thing in the form of the new Terra book, featuring Power Girl. Since it’s written by the same writers and drawn by Amanda Connor it seemed like a pretty logical pick-up.
