Preamble I have never actually been a big fan of Avengers comics. I have always identified myself as a X-Men fan. So a title that combines my favorite print hero team with my favorite big screen movie franchise is something I wanted to sample. Therefore picking up a copy of Uncanny Avengers: The Red Shadow […]
Deadpool: Dead Presidents (Comic Files)
Preamble “You’re a vapid, unfunny, pale shade of a hero. You’re unintelligent, uncreative, and unremarkable in every way. You don’t seem to do anything well expect heal yourself and appear EVERYWHERE! I don’t understand your APPEAL!” – President Abraham Lincoln to Deadpool. Agent Ben agrees with the 16th President. Agent Daniel holds the opposite opinion, […]
Iron Man: Armor Wars (Comic Files)
Preamble The first Iron Man comic I ever read was Iron Man #229. In the midst of Tony Stark’s Armor Wars it was a pretty good place to start. Iron Man: Armor Wars shows need to have Tony Stark’s fanatical control of his armor. And the story has some pretty good action! Situation Report […]
THOR: THE DARK WORLD PRELUDE #1 (MCU Comic Files)
Preamble The Marvel Cinematic Universe is fairly self-contained. All you really need to enjoy it is what you see on the screen. But, as with everything that fans enjoy, we tend to want more. More backstory. More adventures with the characters we love. Just plain more. That’s what THOR: THE DARK WORLD PRELUDE gives us. […]
Avengers Assemble “Avengers Protocol” (Video Files)
Preamble It is a long time before Avengers 2 but there is still plenty of toys to sell! In November 2012, Marvel wrapped up The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. But we cannot be long without animated MCU heroes. Recently Disney XD premiered their new Avenger title, Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, in a special one hour premier […]
“How It Should Have Ended” Marvel Editions
It is quite possible that the How It Should Have Ended animated videos are the perfect loving geek exploration of plot holes. No, it’s not “quite possible.” It just plain is. (Although, for some reason, Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 didn’t merit a HISHE. Hmm.) Here’s a collection of the HISHE Marvel themed videos, […]
Avengers Assemble (Comic Files)
Preamble One problem with the Iron Man movie was that people loved the movie and when they wanted more of that and turned to the comics, the character was not exactly the same. This can mean some quick course corrections by the publisher to catch up to the movies. Remember after X-Men came out, all […]
Avengers vs. Thanos (Comic Files)
Preamble To provide a minor spoiler, I was saddened that the Iron Man 3 did not provide an overt reference to the villain Thanos. Since we were teased that Thanos was involved in the events of The Avengers I have assumed that he would return to the Avenger Initiative sometime in the near future. In […]
