Preamble It feels like everyone is talking about Thor! The news for once is not about how handsome Chris Hemsworth is, but about the Marvel 616 where male Thor is being replaced by a female Thor. Now, I am more than willing to give Thor #1 a chance, not because of the gimmick but because […]
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 […]
All-New Invaders: Gods and Soldiers (Comic Files)
Preamble I have spent a lot of time studying World War II. But I have never read any of Marvel’s premier World War II superhero squad, the Invaders. The team of Captain America, The Original Human Torch, Namor and Bucky sounds cool to me but that has never lead to action by picking up one of their stories. […]
Original Sin #8 (Comic Files)
Preamble New comic day was a busy night. But there was a comic burning in my bag (actually two of them) and I knew I would not be able to sleep until I finished Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato’s Original Sin #8. I needed to know so much. Would Nick Fury live? Who killed the […]
Avengers World: A.I.M.PIRE (Comic Files)
Preamble I really came to love Nick Spencer’s run on Secret Avengers. I loved his A.I.M. vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. storyline and it felt like a big spy movie every month. But he abandoned me for Avengers World with Jonathan Hickman as co-writer and Stefano Caselli as artist. As I sat with pen in hand reading Avengers […]
Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand (Comic Files)
Preamble The rumor was that Galactus might eat the Earth of Marvel’s Ultimate universe. Well, he did not. In Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand, Galactus does leave a deep scar on the Ultimate universe and plenty of unanswered questions. But as we see with continuing titles, Galactus failed to get a full meal! Situation […]
Red She-Hulk: Route 616 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have to admit there is something different about this one, Red She-Hulk: Route 616. First, it is written by Jeff Parker whom Agents Daniel and Ben enjoy over at the distinguished competition with Aquaman. Second, this volume mostly paints S.H.I.E.L.D. as somewhat the bad guys as they hunt the title character. And finally, […]
Original Sin #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble In the last issue of Original Sin, Nick Fury suited up for what could have been the last time. Fury is under attack from every corner as villains and Avengers look to make Fury pay. And Jason Aaron gives us a big clue to who might have killed The Watcher! Situation Report Nick […]
Secret Warriors: Wheels Within Wheels (Comic Files)
Preamble Jonathan Hickman’s and Alessandro Vitti’s Secret Warriors: Wheels Within Wheels brings this series to an end. The series has been S.H.I.E.L.D. fantasticness, despite the fact that Fury has at times been an agent of nothing. Would Hickman give his readers a satisfying end to this saga? Situation Report The volume opens in 1961 […]
Original Sin #6 (Comic Files)
Preamble What’s in the box, what’s in the box? Actually I should yell in a sharp-pitched voice (as noted on the cover) who pulled the trigger, who pulled the trigger? Yes, Nick Fury spilled a lot about the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Unseen. But is Fury going to tell us, if he even knows, […]
