Preamble When I reviewed Captain America #25 I had to admit I was a little lost since between defeating Iron Nail and naming a new Captain America some stuff happened. This included a new Zola attack and the return of Sharon Rogers. Now with Captain America: The Tomorrow Soldier by Rick Remender my questions are […]

Secret Avengers #13 Vol. 3 (Comic Files)
Preamble It appears true that Secret Avengers is winding down. I guess I can survive with Agent Coulson now in his own book.

Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #11 (Comic Files)
Preamble With Agent Coulson in his own comic I wondered what if any changes would be seen in Secret Avengers. Would Ales Kot and Michael Walsh be able to continue using good old AC every issue?

Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #10 (Comic Files)
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. […]

Revolutionary War (Comic Files)
Preamble Growing up I became infatuated with British entertainment. I blame primarily a love of James Bond movies, I wonder why I like S.H.I.E.L.D? And there was a prominent long-running British sci-fi show I loved as a kid but whose name will not be spoken. My love of British things was so impactful that my master’s degree focused […]
Avengers A.I.: 12,000 A.D. (Comic Files)
Preamble Sam Humphries’ Avengers A.I. gave us a different kind of Avengers team, one lead by a human and composed of artificial intelligences. Avengers A.I.: 12,000 A.D. brings this short lived title to an end. But the creative crew is able to give the team one last run against their greatest artificial nemesis, which is […]
