Preamble When I reviewed Captain America #25 I had to admit I was a little lost since between defeating Iron Nail and naming a new Captain America some stuff happened. This included a new Zola attack and the return of Sharon Rogers. Now with Captain America: The Tomorrow Soldier by Rick Remender my questions are […]
Marvel Team-Up #95 (Comic Files)
Preamble It was a very special Valentine’s Day. As I sat next to my best girl I read a comic that I had searched for, bid on and finally landed at a reasonable price while I prepared to listen to Benny Goodman. It was a comic that I had to have. My heart screamed out […]
Captain America #25 (Comic Files)
Preamble The cover yells, “Who is the NEW Captain America?” But the sad thing is if you picked up Captain America #25 you probably already know. Marvel has already spoiled the most important plot point through press releases and news stories. So I feel a little more free with spoilers in this comics file. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Secret Avengers #14 (Comic Files)
Preamble As Secret Avengers #14 begins, Taskmaster is dead! Our hero, my Deadpool stand-in, has served S.H.I.E.L.D. well, but alas he was one step behind the one who betrayed him. And one agent gets the answers to the question that has been bugging her, who am I? Situation Report Taskmaster is dead and the Scientist Supreme […]
Secret Avengers #13 (Comic Files)
Preamble Issue #13 means Secret Avengers has had time to mature and become more refined. In a world filled with action story lines that relay entirely on violence, Secret Avengers gives us something we have to think about. And as the thinking heats up, well I am left wondering who will be left standing when […]
Secret Avengers #12 (Comic Files)
Preamble Congratulations Secret Avengers, you have reached a full year in giving us 12 issues of spy versus spy excitement. Issue #12 marks the end of the title’s first year and a new addition as Ales Kot joins Nick Spencer in writing the closest thing to a Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tie-in book we have. […]
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. […]
