Preamble It is kind of a Buddy Picture! Yep, Captain America & Hawkeye written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Alessandro Vitti and Matteo Buffagni, compares the two Avengers with very different personalities. You have to ask, will these two very different men be able to survive their monsters. Situation Report Captain American and […]
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 […]
Secret Avengers #10 (Comic Files)
Preamble I was being cynical. I walked into my local comic shop, took my copy of Secret Avengers up to the counter and said, “Great, it’s an Infinity tie-in, I’m done with that!” The owner then proceeded to tell me how great the cross-over is and why I should be excited! Honestly, I did […]

All New X-Men: Here to Stay (Comic Files)
Preamble As a kid I was introduced to Marvel comics through X-Factor.

So when Agent Ben told me about All […]
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 […]
Secret Avengers #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble If there was ever a comic poised for a letdown for me, it is Secret Avengers #9. I love with a big old capital L the Mockingbird centered Secret Avengers #8. So it would take a lot for Nick Spencer and team to keep me from being disappointed with this Daisy Johnson focused issue. […]
