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 […]
Secret Avengers #13 (Comic Files)
Preamble Issue #13 means Secret Avengers has had time to mature and become more refined.

Indestructible Hulk: Gods and Monsters (Comic Files)

The Avengers: The Last White Event (Comic Files)

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 […]
Avengers: Endless Wartime (Comic Files)
Preamble Marvel has positioned Avengers: Endless Wartime written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Mike McKone as an event book. The title serves as Marvel’s first original graphic novel.
