Secret Avengers #13 (Comic Files)
Preamble Issue #13 means Secret Avengers has had time to mature and become more refined. In a world filled with action story lines that relay entirely on violence, Secret Avengers gives us something we have to think about. And as the thinking heats up, well I am left wondering who will be left standing when […]
Secret Avengers #12 (Comic Files)
Preamble Congratulations Secret Avengers, you have reached a full year in giving us 12 issues of spy versus spy excitement.

Indestructible Hulk: Gods and Monsters (Comic Files)
Preamble I really enjoyed the first volume of Indestructible Hulk. So Indestructible Hulk: Gods and Monsters written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Walter Simonson and Matteo Scalera had a lot to live up to.

Uncanny X-Men: Revolution (Comic Files)

Secret Avengers #8 (Comic Files)

Secret Avengers #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble At the end of issue #6 faithful readers were promised answers in the saga of Secret Avengers. I was concerned that it may all be lies! Other than Coulson, okay and Barton, most S.H.I.E.L.D. agents seem truth allergic. Would Secret Avengers #7 just bring more deception? Situation Report Secret Avengers #7 takes place […]
