Preamble After Deadpool #25 and the end of the S.H.I.E.L.D. storyline I thought I was out of the Deadpool monthly issues despite my love of the merc with a mouth. Then Marvel gives us an “inventory” Deadpool story with Nick Fury in the 1950s. And if that does not grab your attention, how about time-traveling […]

Wolverine #13 (Comic Files)

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. […]
