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, […]
Captain America: Loose Nuke
Preamble Rick Remender’s run with Captain America has really paid off for me in the Marvel NOW!. So I was really anticipating Captain America: Loose Nuke with my biggest question being would Cap be impacted by his time in Dimension Z? I really want to know. And Remender does not wait long for us to […]
Original Sin #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble Nick Fury continues his chase for the Watcher’s murderer, which started in Original Sin #1. And the clues are going to take him to some strange places. And as the cover screams we all wonder, who holds the eye? Situation Report Ant-Man, Black Panther and Emma Frost explore a monster graveyard in the […]
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. […]
Avengers: Prelude to Infinity (Comic Files)
Preamble Infinity is coming, Infinity is coming! Actually it came and if you follow this crossover monthly, well likely over. Infinity did not work for me in single issues. Most of that had to do with the feeling I was not getting all of the story since I was not reading all of the issues beyond the […]
Captain America: Winter Soldier (Comic Files)
Preamble Ed Brubaker’s Captain America: Winter Soldier hit my reading wish list for one simple reason, I love the trailer for the spring 2014 movie of the same name. I am excited about this Marvel Cinematic Universe feature and really wanted to dig into one of the story sources of this hopefully epic movie. Situation Report […]
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!

The Avengers: The Last White Event (Comic Files)
Preamble With a title like The Avengers: The Last White Event, you know it has to lead to something big, or at least the last. And having read the first 3 parts of Infinity written by Jonathan Hickman who also wrote this volume, well I just knew the path was going to be laid out […]
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 #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 […]
