Preamble Another crossover event! Hey why don’t I still this one out until the trade, I’m sure there is nothing to see here! Wait, Nick Fury Sr, Nick Fury Sr. is in the house. I’m in! Where’s my copy of Original Sin #1 by Jason Aaron and art by Mike Deodato? Situation Report Uatu […]
Secret Warriors: Wake the Beast (Comic Files)
Preamble Secret Warriors: Wake the Beast chronicles the open phases of a war! Two super villain organizations prepare their forces for the ultimate evil conflict. And since Nick Fury has been a traditional enemy of each and sees himself as a guardian of peace, he cannot sit on the sidelines. To meet the challenge, the Secret […]
Winter Soldier Bitter March #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have been pretty excited about Rick Remender’s Winter Soldier Bitter March. And my only complaint last month was not enough of the title character. Would issue #2 correct that problem, or would it just be more Agent Ran? Situation Report Agent Ran is on the run! He has successfully extracted the two scientists […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble I admit it, I am hesitant. With the beginning of Secret Avengers Volume 2 I was in the same boat. I was not familiar with Nick Spencer’s writing and the whole concept on the team but they had Agent Coulson to draw me in. But then by the middle of Spencer’s run I was […]
Secret War (Comic Files)
Preamble No, it’s not Secret Wars! And it is not even Secret Wars 2! Secret War is a Nick Fury driven story that could be ripped from today’s headlines, if it was not for the super villains and heroes that decorate this story. But with an introduction written by an unnamed member of the intelligence […]
Winter Soldier Bitter March #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Honestly, I have been pretty excited about Winter Soldier Bitter March mini-series for a few months now. It has a vintage feel, had a tie-in to Captain America: Winter Soldier, and feels in some blanks for that character during his silent years in Marvel 616. The vintage feel is a huge bonus to a […]
Ultimate Comics Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 (Comic Files)
Preamble I admit it, we really should cover more books from Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. The Ultimate Nick Fury is honestly more closely related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Nick Fury Jr. in the Marvel 616. And Ultimate Comices Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 is a great example of how the MCU could use Marvel […]
Captain America: Winter Soldier (Comic Files)
Preamble Ed Brubaker’s Captain America: Winter Soldier hit my reading wish list for one simple reason, I love the trailer for the spring 2014 movie of the same name. I am excited about this Marvel Cinematic Universe feature and really wanted to dig into one of the story sources of this hopefully epic movie. Situation Report […]
Age of Ultron (Comic Files)
Preamble In 2015 we get The Avengers: Age of Ultron. This announcement came out right after the conclusion of the Age of Ultron mini-series written by Brian Michael Bendis. Now clearly this future movie cannot translate the story frame for frame as it is incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is possible that the […]
Wolverine #11 (Comic Files)
Preamble I never meant to keep following Wolverine. Honestly, it was Savage Wolverine that caught my attention. But with the promise of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I find myself still reading this monthly out of the hope of catching a glimpse of Nick Fury Jr. nearly a year later! Situation Report Wolverine #11 continues the […]
