Avengers Assemble “Avengers Protocol” (Video Files)
Preamble It is a long time before Avengers 2 but there is still plenty of toys to sell! In November 2012, Marvel wrapped up The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

“How It Should Have Ended” Marvel Editions
It is quite possible that the How It Should Have Ended animated videos are the perfect loving geek exploration of plot holes. No, it’s not “quite possible.” It just plain is. (Although, for some reason, Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 didn’t merit a HISHE. Hmm.) Here’s a collection of the HISHE Marvel themed videos, […]

Avengers Assemble (Comic Files)

Secret Avengers #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble It has become clear that those who wish to follow the comic adventures of Agent Coulson need to follow Secret Avengers. In Secret Avengers #2, the team has been formed and it is time to kick the New Nick Fury into larger story arcs. But for me the big question is simply, will I […]
Wolverine #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble I had chosen to read Savage Wolverine on a monthly basis instead of the Marvel NOW! renumbered Wolverine. The savage version is enjoyable high adventure, while the Wolverine title seemed to be in the first issue to be typical Wolverine fair that I could pick up at my library as a trade. […]
Thanos Rising #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble 2013’s Thanos Rising limited series provides the origin of this super villain. Though there are no Avengers and no S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as the series opens, it provides a glimpse into the background of a villain that has already pulled the strings in launching the Battle of New York in The Avengers. And clearly from […]
