Preamble Our band of heroes heads to Wakanda, worried that Black Panther is under the influence of the virus that recently took over S.H.I.E.L.D.. For a villain that I thought would be gone in 4 issues, the fact that virus still exists in Wolverine #8 is fascinating. With this being the first installment of a […]
Infinity #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have been waiting for Infinity #2, mostly so I could figure out who the villain is. The good news is that I now know. Both Thanos and the Builders are the big bad! Yet separated by millions and millions of miles I wonder how this story is going to come together. Situation […]
Thanos Rising #5 (Comic Files)
Preamble I read Thanos Rising for one reason, the fact I did not immediately know who was this purple guy at the end of The Avengers . And since he was there he had to matter right! In this series the reader really digs deep into the origin of this super villain and his psychological […]
Thor God of Thunder: The God Butcher (Comic Files)
Preamble I look at Thor, expect in the MCU, as being a high fantasy hero who has never caught my interest. This is the man (God) who fights trolls and dwarfs. I tend to prefer more non-divine superheroes. But with Thor a very active member of the MCU, I had to see if the Marvel […]
Secret Avengers #8 (Comic Files)
Preamble I am going to say something that I have never said n my entire life. As I picked up Secret Avengers #8 “Cathedral” all I could think was I am really looking forward to this Mockingbird story. I have never in my entire life bought a comic because of Mockingbird’s role. I have honestly […]
Wolverine #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble I love Wolverine. Seriously I have done some major apologizing and explaining about The Wolverine. But I had quit reading Wolverine with the S.H.I.E.L.D. arc at the end, I thought. I was wrong because Nick Fury Jr. is back to hang out with his buddy Logan. Situation Report Thanks to a Microverse virus […]
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 […]
Avengers: Avenger’s World (Comic Files)
Preamble I have always been an X-Men guy. True confession, I have read more West Coast Avengers than Avengers. So I wondered if the new Marvel NOW! version of the Avengers would keep my interest in Avengers: Avenger’s World when my history with this super group is largely based on the MCU. Situation Report […]
Uncanny Avengers: The Red Shadow (Comic Files)
Preamble I have never actually been a big fan of Avengers comics. I have always identified myself as a X-Men fan. So a title that combines my favorite print hero team with my favorite big screen movie franchise is something I wanted to sample. Therefore picking up a copy of Uncanny Avengers: The Red Shadow […]
Secret Avengers #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble At the end of issue #6 faithful readers were promised answers in the saga of Secret Avengers. I was concerned that it may all be lies! Other than Coulson, okay and Barton, most S.H.I.E.L.D. agents seem truth allergic. Would Secret Avengers #7 just bring more deception? Situation Report Secret Avengers #7 takes place […]
