Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble I read a preview stating that we would see 200 years into the future when Bucky Barnes’ job was done. So I had to pick up Bucky Barnes: The Winter Solder #3 because I wanted to see this time jump play out on the page. Too bad that is issue #4! Situation Report […]
Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #2 (Comic Files)

Secret Warriors: Wheels Within Wheels (Comic Files)
Preamble Jonathan Hickman’s and Alessandro Vitti’s Secret Warriors: Wheels Within Wheels brings this series to an end.

Secret Avengers #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble If there was ever a comic poised for a letdown for me, it is Secret Avengers #9. I love with a big old capital L the Mockingbird centered Secret Avengers #8. So it would take a lot for Nick Spencer and team to keep me from being disappointed with this Daisy Johnson focused issue. […]
