Some good ideas here, a decent introduction to Morbius character, and kudos for #4 alternate cover homaging classic Tomb of Dracula one, Marvel already that in recent Gerry Conway's Carnage run.Sadly main storyline seems turning the Living Vampire into a cousin of DC's Man-Bat, the Spidey's blood plot is essentially the same from old Kaminsky/Wagner run, I've never been a fan of ret-con, Elizabeth Nikos seems coming out from a 90s bad girls/bad comic-book, and Spider-Man seems having lost spider...
I was expecting this to be bad. I mean... it's Morbius. When has anyone cared about Morbius? But I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't call this a hidden gem in the Marvel Unlimited library that one has to read, but it's a solid story. Morbius used science stuff to become a monster, is now trying to use science stuff to not be a monster, and there's a bunch of shenanigans regarding science and monsters and grudges and whatever.This sort of story has been told countless times, but that doesn't m...
There’s an interesting battle between Marvel and DC for the vampire not vampire character in their books. DC has Man Bat. Marvel has Morbius. With Man Bat’s inclusion in Justice League Dark, the character is able to riff off of the other JLD members. They have successfully made the ex scientist who’s experimenting turned him into a vampire like creature more human. Marvel’s Morbuis falls a little short and could use the scaffolding of a better supporting cast. The attempt was made to do this her...
The art is fantastic, dripping and distorted, as befits a horror story. But sadly, I didn't find it as horrifying or as interesting as I wanted it to be. It was sadly only okay, too wordy and too super-heroic. I wanted it to be more of a horror story, honestly. I wanted more from it. I had high hopes.
Ah Morbius... one of the darkest titles Marvel has. The basic premise is known: Michael Morbius is a doctor who has a rare blood disease. In order to cure it, he begins experimenting on himself and discovers a kind of cure when he combines his DNA with bat DNA. The problem? It makes him hunger for blood like a vampire. In this title, Morbius continues to try to find a cure, but instead amplifies his vampiric nature, causing his hunger to drastically increase. After attacking Melter and his hench...
After reading the first two issues last year (back when I thought the film would be released in July), I finally finished this series! Or, at least, the series so far? It has an open ending, but I think the series was cancelled after these 6 issues, I'm honestly not sure.I liked what I read, though! While it wasn't an origin story, it still had enough flashbacks that I was able to understand where Michael was coming from and how he got to be this vampire thing he is today. The story can seem a l...
This one was ok. The first three issues were decent and the last two felt too rushed and disjointed. It also doesn't help that the series was abruptly cancelled and it showed in the last issue for sure. The art had moments where it was good and others where it was lackluster. Nothing too compelling to make Morbius an interesting character in this one. He creates a cure that doesn't work (what did he expect with the resources he was using) so he uses the remaining time of the series to fix that m...
Morbius and the Eternals have more in common than being C-listers who wangled big-screen debuts which then got delayed by the Event. They're also characters whose original selling point was hugely undermined by being part of a shared universe. The Eternals were part of a von Daniken-knockoff history in which aliens had created secret races living on Earth who had in the past been mistaken for gods and demons...a notion which ceased to make sense as soon as they were crowbarred into the Marvel Un...
I’m not a big Morbius fan. That said, this series did impress me. I enjoyed the philosophically based approach here, considering what makes a man a man, and then what would make him virtuous. It’s all right there in the text with little sub-textually subtlety, but it tries its best to be nuanced in the various potential answers.I feel the art was not the best fit. It is too often your traditional Big 2 fare, when it should often be horrifying. When everything is clean and there is no shadows, an...
The interesting thing about Morbius is he is a living vampire rather than undead, and also that he brought the curse upon himself through scientific experimentation, he is not a victim. He's more a fusion between Doctor Jekyll & Doctor Moreau. Old Wounds isn't an origins story - One of Morbius's experiments goes wrong and his bloodlust is exacerbated. Elizabeth, the sister of his deceased best friend is the Van Helsing character here. Teamed up with the opportunistic Melter she is out to kill he...
