Preamble Thanksgiving really threw me for a loop. Because of being off work on new comic book day I had to wait a week to get my copy of Secret Avengers #10. Typically that may not have been a problem but with a cover showing Hawkeye and Coulson in a standoff…well it was torture. […]
Loki: Agent of Asgard — Trust Me (Comic Files)
Preamble You know what villain Marvel Cinematic Universe fans love? I will give you a hint or two. He does not have a red face. He is not on your computer screen. He has a spear of destiny and almost handed our world over to an alien invasion. Yes it is Loki. And I am […]
Secret Avengers Vol.3 #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble It is time for us to dispense with “the love” after the last issue of Secret Avengers and time for us to get dirty as we follow the conspiracy to bring Tlön to Earth. But maybe if not full on romance maybe at least we can find bromance in this issue. Situation Report […]
Captain America: The Iron Nail (Comic Files)
Preamble Author Rick Remender and Steve Rodgers have been through a lot together since the kickoff of Marvel NOW!. Remender has provided Rogers an entire lifetime in another dimension, given him a family and stood beside Rogers as loved ones passed away. In Captain America: The Iron Nail, Remender takes Rogers on one last ride […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #8 (Comic Files)
Preamble Secret Avengers has been doing what it does best, building complicated conspiracies! In Secret Avengers #8 “Tried to Run/Tried to Hide” Ales Kot and Michael Walsh begin to turn back the curtain to show us how things have unraveled to this point. And we might just be surprised what we find, cue the romance […]
Deadpool Bi-Annual #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Maybe I should just start reviewing every issue of Deadpool. Sure Agent Ben would hate every minute of it. He would fight the trend. But he has to admit that Deadpool is really Coulson’s second regular title. And with Paul Scheer, from The League, co-writing Deadpool Bi-Annual #1, one knew the funny was coming. […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble Seriously, do you know how hard it was to not tell you that Deadpool was the big reveal in Secret Avengers #6?. Seriously I was pumped, but since the Tradd Moore and Matthew Wilson cover of Secret Avengers #7 lets the cat out of the bag, and is brilliant, I can now tell you […]
Red She-Hulk: Route 616 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have to admit there is something different about this one, Red She-Hulk: Route 616. First, it is written by Jeff Parker whom Agents Daniel and Ben enjoy over at the distinguished competition with Aquaman. Second, this volume mostly paints S.H.I.E.L.D. as somewhat the bad guys as they hunt the title character. And finally, […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #6 (Comic Files)
Preamble I love Secret Avengers and never have any constructive criticism to give it. Oh man, another cover I do not dig at all. Geez, I hope we get something in issue number 6 that gets my attention. Situation Report Lady Bulleye continues to be alive and has hijacked a Japanese bullet train. All […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 # 5 (Comic Files)
Preamble It’s been established I only want like 9 things. And along with the occasional cool drink, a warm blanket and Thanos as a big bad I want someone to get Agent Coulson right in the comics. And Secret Avengers #5 has everyone commenting on the fact that Coulson is not himself. Situation Report […]
