Preamble It is eight months in the future. And the world has changed drastically in Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers: Time Runs Out Volume One. Our world has been at risk as the global incursions of other Earth’s in the multiverse collide with ours. And the steps taken to save the Marvel 616 Earth has created a […]
Avengers: Infinite Avengers (Comic Files)
Preamble Jonathan Hickman has been working on a massive story that could be the end of the Marvel 616 Universe. In Hickman’s Avengers: Infinite Avengers the story begins to gain momentum as some beyond the Illuminati realize that the Earth incursions are occurring. And in true Civil War style heroes will choose sides! Situation […]
Avengers: Adapt or Die (Comic Files)
Preamble Infinity is over, so Jonathan Hickman and Salvador Larroca can let the Avengers just sit back and relax right? Nope, there are still potential global killing problems to face. And Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are reviewing if the team has the right mix. It is kind of like Avenger draft day. Oh, and […]
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 […]
Avengers Assemble: Science Bros (Comic Files)
Preamble Avengers Assemble: Science Bros collects issues 9 through 13 and Annual #1 of this series as it moves into Marvel NOW! With stories written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Christos Gage and Stefano Caselli, the volume provides a diverse set of three Avengers tales that vary from large scale adventure to […]
All New X-Men: Here to Stay (Comic Files)
Preamble As a kid I was introduced to Marvel comics through X-Factor. One of my most prized childhood issues is X-Factor #1 which brings back together the original X-Men of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Ice Man (ironically none of these five are my favorite X-Man). So when Agent Ben told me about All […]
Infinity #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble With my interest fading, would Infinity #3 save my curiosity in this series? Would I keep up with the story as I continue to refuse to read titles like Avengers and New Avengers on a weekly basis? Would DC’s Villains Month and Black Manta #1 make me question my spending habits? You will find […]
Infinity #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have been waiting for Infinity #2, mostly so I could figure out who the villain is. The good news is that I now know. Both Thanos and the Builders are the big bad! Yet separated by millions and millions of miles I wonder how this story is going to come together. Situation […]
Infinity #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Infinity is here and like the last Marvel event Age of Ultron making its claim on a future MCU movie! Okay that may just be sarcasm creeping in. Infinity is a big story bringing together Earth bound and cosmic elements of the Marvel Universe. And with the inclusion of Thanos and the Builders combines […]
Avengers: Avenger’s World (Comic Files)
Preamble I have always been an X-Men guy. True confession, I have read more West Coast Avengers than Avengers. So I wondered if the new Marvel NOW! version of the Avengers would keep my interest in Avengers: Avenger’s World when my history with this super group is largely based on the MCU. Situation Report […]
