Avengers World: Ascension (Comic Files)
Preamble Nick Spencer likes big stories. He is the master of the long game as shown in Secret Avengers and his creator owned Morning Glories.

Wolverine: Three Months to Die Book 2 (Comic Files)
Preamble Wolverine: Three Months to Die Book 2 was never intended to be a Comic File. No, reading about the death of an Agent Butcher top ten superhero was meant to be “fun.” And throw in the fact that I did not enjoy the first issue of The Death of Wolverine, this was a collection […]

Infinity (Comic Files)
Preamble Earlier I gave Jonathan Hickman’s a three-issue ride, before I stopped reading. My main complaint was there was enough going on between issues in other connected titles that I was not reading that the story often did not make full sense. But I did provide it a second chance recently in the collected, Infinity. […]
Avengers: Prelude to Infinity (Comic Files)
Preamble Infinity is coming, Infinity is coming! Actually it came and if you follow this crossover monthly, well likely over. Infinity did not work for me in single issues. Most of that had to do with the feeling I was not getting all of the story since I was not reading all of the issues beyond the […]
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 […]
