Synopsis: "Spinning out of the SPIDER-VERSE event, a team of Spiders finds themselves face-to-face with Battleworld! Starring SPIDERGWEN, SPIDER-MAN NOIR, SPIDER-MAN: INDIA, MAYDAY PARKER, SPIDER-UK and SPIDER-HAM!"

Spider-verse was one of the big events for Marvel last year. The Spider-verse occurs when nearly all of the iterations of Spider-man join forces to figure out just how they came to exist together. Spider-verse: Warzones features SpiderGwen, Spider-man Noir, Spider-man: India, Mayday Parker, Spider-UK, and last but not least, Spider-ham.

SpiderGwen really takes center stage as she is employed by Norman Osborn and has discovered that he is hiding a secret. As the secret is uncovered, she learns that she isn't the only super powered Spider in town. As all of the Spider heroes meet up they join forces and confront Osborn, only to uncover exactly how they all came to be on one plane of existance.

While the story is interesting, it isn't as spectacular (yeah, I went there) as I was hoping. Peter Parker isn't Spider-man in this iteration and so he is constantly being saved by Gwen. It was great to see all the different Spiders but the story could have easily been done with one of them and it would have still worked. It adds very little to the mythos of Spider-man and really felt like it was a placeholder for something else. That all the stories collected are a part of a minor side story that could have easily been forgotten but were collected only for the purpose of making a quick buck.

If you want to be a completionist for this event, then by all means, pick it up. Otherwise I would skip it and grab something else.

Overall 6/10

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story By David F. Pelly Toronto: Dundurn, $21.50 Reviewed by Russell A. Potter When I was in Gjoa Haven for ten days in 2004, I remember a local Inuk who, though he was happy to answer my newcomer's questions, regarded my interest in his community as a short-term one, despite my protestations to the contrary. When I asked him why, he put it plainly: many  Qallunaaat say the same thing -- but then that's the last you see of them -- they never come back. David F. Pelly is one who came back -- again and again -- and so earned the trust and the friendship of the people he sojourned among. And these qualities are vital to the  project of  Ukkusiksalik , which is no less than to provide a comprehensive oral history of this area from the earliest appearance of humans to the establishment of the national park that bears its name in 2003, and beyond. Indeed, Pelly opens with an account of the geological history of the area beginning with the last Ice Ag...

Will Ben Kenobi risk revealing himself to do what's right? Then, Luke continues his quest to learn about the Jedi by heading for the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Plus: Han & Leia are confronted by an unexpected foe from Han's past! COLLECTING: STAR WARS 7-12" Last week I reviewed the first volume of the new Star Wars comic book that covers the time between New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Volume 2 continues the adventures of the rebels and this time it features a little more of Leia, which was missing from the last book. I don't want to give too much away but in this storyline Han and Leia's struggling romance gets sidelined when someone...

Mort(e) by Robert Repino Publishing information: Hardcover; 358pgs Publisher: Soho Press; 1 Jan 2014 ISBN: 9781616954277 Series: War with No Name #1 Copy: Out of Pocket Reviewer: Tyson Amazon Synopsis: "After the “war with no name” a cat assassin searches for his lost love in Repino’s strange, moving sci-fi epic that channels both Homeward Bound and A Canticle for Lebowitz. The “war with no name” has begun, with human extinction as its goal. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that would forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation and religious superstition. As a final step in the war effort, the Colony uses its strange technology to transform the surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.
