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 […]
A+X + Outstanding (Comic Files)
Preamble I read a lot of comics. And one of my goals is to read all of the Marvel NOW! titles so I have sampled the anthology series A+X combining a Avenger with a mutant but never found it comic file worthy. But then they had to go and add Agent Adsit! Situation Report […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #4 (Comic Files)
Preamble It took Nick Spencer seven issues before he showed he misunderstood why I was buying Secret Avengers. Ales Kot did it in four! Sure, Hawkeye and Black Widow appear in this title, but there is only one Agent that leads me to buy this book monthly! Situation Report Agents Fury Jr. and Barton […]
Avengers A.I.: Human After All (Comics Files)
Preamble My first impression of Avengers A.I. by Sam Humphries was underwhelming. I read through everything in Marvel NOW! thanks to a well-stocked library so eventually I would run across this title. As I opened the first pages and saw an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent I thought I knew I was in trouble. Yep, Avengers A.I. was […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble As this new volume of Secret Avengers begins I will admit to being a little lost. It does not help that at times the team seems newly formed, even though Spider-Woman is really the only new member. I guess this is a good thing because it serves as a jumping on point for new […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble Okay, I am still not completely warmed up to Secret Avengers volume 3. But I am here to stay as long as this really is a S.H.I.E.L.D. book. Yes, I would love a book with the whole Bus Crew, but I will continue to see it as a win if Coulson is in print! […]
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 […]
Indestructible Hulk: S.M.A.S.H. Time (Comic Files)
Preamble Peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best things in the whole world. But the idea of the Hulk and time travel almost sounds as tasty? Would Indestructible Hulk: S.M.A.S.H. Time prove to be delicious? Situation Report Time is unraveling and because of someone messing with the timeline people and things are […]
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 […]
Uncanny X-Men: Broken
Preamble The X-Men are broken! They have been broken into two team; with the clean cut Cyclops leading the wanted terrorist mutant group and ironically the rough and tough Wolverine leading the socially acceptable Mutants. And Cyclops, Magik, Magneto, and Emma Frost find their powers broken and uncontrollable. Can training a new generation of heroes […]
