Preamble It’s been established I only want like 9 things. And along with the occasional cool drink, a warm blanket and Thanos as a big bad I want someone to get Agent Coulson right in the comics. And Secret Avengers #5 has everyone commenting on the fact that Coulson is not himself. Situation Report […]
Avengers Forever (Comic Files)
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 […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble As this new volume of Secret Avengers begins I will admit to being a little lost. It does not help that at times the team seems newly formed, even though Spider-Woman is really the only new member. I guess this is a good thing because it serves as a jumping on point for new […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble Okay, I am still not completely warmed up to Secret Avengers volume 3. But I am here to stay as long as this really is a S.H.I.E.L.D. book. Yes, I would love a book with the whole Bus Crew, but I will continue to see it as a win if Coulson is in print! […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble I admit it, I am hesitant. With the beginning of Secret Avengers Volume 2 I was in the same boat. I was not familiar with Nick Spencer’s writing and the whole concept on the team but they had Agent Coulson to draw me in. But then by the middle of Spencer’s run I was […]
Secret Avengers #16 (Comic Files)
Preamble I am a simple man with simple tastes. All I want I really want is a great tie-in S.H.I.E.L.D. comic that features Coulson and the bus crew. I want stories to be suitably finished. And I want to make sense of the All-New Marvel NOW!. Seriously is the next issue of Secret Avengers #1 […]
Secret Avengers #15 (Comic Files)
Preamble We are in the back half of Nick Spencer and Ales Kot’s “How to MA.I.M. a Mockingbird.” And with the All-New Marvel NOW!’s shadow looming just two months away, it is time to start wrapping nearly a year of story up. But will it resolve in a way that has made a long-term investor […]
Ultimate Comics Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 (Comic Files)
Preamble I admit it, we really should cover more books from Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. The Ultimate Nick Fury is honestly more closely related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Nick Fury Jr. in the Marvel 616. And Ultimate Comices Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 is a great example of how the MCU could use Marvel […]
Hawkeye: Little Hits (Comic Files)
Preamble It is easy in the world of superheroes to expect huge epic stories where the entire universe is in the balance. But let us be honest, even a superhero has to lay his bow somewhere. So really Hawkeye: Little Hits might be renamed Hawkeye: Little Stories as this S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Avenger watches the story play out in […]
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 […]
