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)

Captain America: Loose Nuke
Preamble Rick Remender’s run with Captain America has really paid off for me in the Marvel NOW!.

Captain America: Castaway in Dimension Z Book Two (Comic Files)
Preamble I really enjoyed Rick Remender’s Captain America: Castaway in Dimension Z Book One. In fact I have really been looking forward to the second installment.

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 Warriors: Last Ride of the Howling Commandos (Comic Files)
Preamble Secret Warriors: Wake the Beast left us with three massive questions. So when Secret Warriors: Last Ride of the Howling Commandos opens with H.A.M.M.E.R. attacking Asgard you can color me confused! What happened to our Hydra, Leviathan, Secret Warriors war friends? What is happening? At least the name Howling Commandos is floating around. That […]

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. […]
