Preamble I admit it, I am hesitant. With the beginning of Secret Avengers Volume 2 I was in the same boat. I was not familiar with Nick Spencer’s writing and the whole concept on the team but they had Agent Coulson to draw me in. But then by the middle of Spencer’s run I was […]
Indestructible Hulk: S.M.A.S.H. Time (Comic Files)
Preamble Peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best things in the whole world. But the idea of the Hulk and time travel almost sounds as tasty? Would Indestructible Hulk: S.M.A.S.H. Time prove to be delicious? Situation Report Time is unraveling and because of someone messing with the timeline people and things are […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #40 (Comic Files)
Preamble The Jean Grey School is under siege by S.H.I.E.L.D.! Wolverine is out and about fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. sentinels and slugging the mutant terrorist Cyclops.

Wolverine #13 (Comic Files)
Preamble Sure they say it is the conclusion of a six part arc. But really this “Killable” story has been going on for 13 issues! So I was hoping that “Conclusion” would help provide some relief to my beloved Wolverine and to my bank account as I have a number of monthly comics launching in […]
Agents of Atlas (Comic Files)
Preamble For fun, I like to relax with a nice issue of the distinguished competition’s Aquaman. But after two years there is something potentially upsetting with that title, Geoff Johns is leaving. But when I noticed that Jeff Parker the new monthly author had written for Marvel and had written a S.H.I.E.L.D. related book, Agents of […]

Wolverine and the X-Men #39 (Comic Files)

Situation Report Wolverine travels into the Rockies to a secret and not well defended S.H.I.E.L.D. base. So of course it is a trap! But […]
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. […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #38 (Comic Files)
Preamble By all accounts, I made a bad choice. Instead of following my comic book bliss I ignored X-Men: Battle of the Atom and instead started to pick up Infinity and Forever Evil. For these two series I never made it past issue #3 of either (though I do plan to read as collections). Then […]
Taskmaster: Unthinkable (Comic Files)
Preamble Taskmaster, I need more of you. You are Deadpool’s buddy. You are now a member of the Secret Avengers. And your power is really cool. Would Taskmaster: Unthinkable written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Jefte Palo finally quell my desire to have more Taskmaster? Or will I continue to demand more of […]
