Preamble I have a political statement to make. All of this talk about Secret Wars and Convergence at DC has put me on edge. What is going to happen to Secret Avengers and Aquaman? Will they even be titles? What about the stories I feel invested into? I cannot even tell you what titles I […]
Guardians of the Galaxy Annual #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Man, it has been nothing but tense lately. We found out some shocking secrets about Nick Fury in Original Sin. And I cannot even discuss the distrubing turns on Tuesday nights that we were hit with (because it is possible that some agents do not know yet about that thing with that person). So […]
Thor Volume 4 #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble It feels like everyone is talking about Thor! The news for once is not about how handsome Chris Hemsworth is, but about the Marvel 616 where male Thor is being replaced by a female Thor. Now, I am more than willing to give Thor #1 a chance, not because of the gimmick but because […]
Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Bucky Barnes the Winter Soldier has a new job! Spinning out of Original Sin, Barnes has taken on the mantle of Nick Fury becoming the man on the wall. He protects Earth from Intergalactic and extradimensional threats…with his gun! Situation Report As this episode opens, Bucky Barnes is a prisoner on the world […]
Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand (Comic Files)
Preamble The rumor was that Galactus might eat the Earth of Marvel’s Ultimate universe. Well, he did not. In Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand, Galactus does leave a deep scar on the Ultimate universe and plenty of unanswered questions. But as we see with continuing titles, Galactus failed to get a full meal! Situation […]
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 […]
Original Sin #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble In the last issue of Original Sin, Nick Fury suited up for what could have been the last time. Fury is under attack from every corner as villains and Avengers look to make Fury pay. And Jason Aaron gives us a big clue to who might have killed The Watcher! Situation Report Nick […]
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. The series has been S.H.I.E.L.D. fantasticness, despite the fact that Fury has at times been an agent of nothing. Would Hickman give his readers a satisfying end to this saga? Situation Report The volume opens in 1961 […]
Original Sin #6 (Comic Files)
Preamble What’s in the box, what’s in the box? Actually I should yell in a sharp-pitched voice (as noted on the cover) who pulled the trigger, who pulled the trigger? Yes, Nick Fury spilled a lot about the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Unseen. But is Fury going to tell us, if he even knows, […]
Avengers Forever (Comic Files)
Preamble If I have learned anything thanks to Astrocity, it’s that I love me some Kurt Busiek! So despite the fact that I have never been huge into Marvel 616 Avengers, I still prefer the X-Men, when I saw Busiek wrote an Avengers event it was a must read for me. Busiek is enough for […]
