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 […]
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 […]
Infinity (Comic Files)
Preamble Earlier I gave Jonathan Hickman’s a three-issue ride, before I stopped reading. My main complaint was there was enough going on between issues in other connected titles that I was not reading that the story often did not make full sense. But I did provide it a second chance recently in the collected, Infinity. […]
X-Men: Battle of the Atom (Comic Files)
Preamble I made a choice last fall. I could either pick-up X-Men: Battle of the Atom or DC’s Forever Evil mini-series as a monthly follow. I chose DC, I know I know but a guy has to read around and explore new frontiers! After issue 2 of Forever Evil I was out! And Agent Ben […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #38 (Comic Files)
Preamble By all accounts, I made a bad choice. Instead of following my comic book bliss I ignored X-Men: Battle of the Atom and instead started to pick up Infinity and Forever Evil. For these two series I never made it past issue #3 of either (though I do plan to read as collections). Then […]
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 […]
The Official Marvel No-Prize Book: Marvel’s Mightiest Most Massive Mistakes (Comic Files)
Preamble When you print as many titles as Marvel Comics does and for as many years as they have, well there are going to be mistakes. And it is a reader pointing out a mistake to Marvel editor and writer Stan Lee that led him to send the first no-prize. That first no-prize was a […]
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 […]
Wolverine #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble Wolverine #9 shows Logan as he returns to the Jean Grey School. He investigates why Mystique invaded the school and deciphers an invitation left behind. And Wolverine discovers in his killable form that he is now the target of super villains. Situation Report Wolverine returns home to discover that Mystique’s incursion into the […]
Wolverine #8 (Comic Files)
Preamble Our band of heroes heads to Wakanda, worried that Black Panther is under the influence of the virus that recently took over S.H.I.E.L.D.. For a villain that I thought would be gone in 4 issues, the fact that virus still exists in Wolverine #8 is fascinating. With this being the first installment of a […]
