Preamble Another crossover event! Hey why don’t I still this one out until the trade, I’m sure there is nothing to see here! Wait, Nick Fury Sr, Nick Fury Sr. is in the house. I’m in! Where’s my copy of Original Sin #1 by Jason Aaron and art by Mike Deodato? Situation Report Uatu […]
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. […]
Secret War (Comic Files)
Preamble No, it’s not Secret Wars! And it is not even Secret Wars 2! Secret War is a Nick Fury driven story that could be ripped from today’s headlines, if it was not for the super villains and heroes that decorate this story. But with an introduction written by an unnamed member of the intelligence […]
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 […]
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 […]
Age of Ultron (Comic Files)
Preamble In 2015 we get The Avengers: Age of Ultron. This announcement came out right after the conclusion of the Age of Ultron mini-series written by Brian Michael Bendis. Now clearly this future movie cannot translate the story frame for frame as it is incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is possible that the […]
Spider-Men (Comic Files)
Preamble Usually here at Welcome to Level Seven we focus on Marvel 616 for Comic Files. Maybe this is a mistake since the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Ultimate Universe share a lot of similarities. Recently a story from the Ultimate Universe caught our attention and forces us to dive into the Ultimate Universe. Spider-Men […]
Avengers Assemble: Science Bros (Comic Files)
Preamble Avengers Assemble: Science Bros collects issues 9 through 13 and Annual #1 of this series as it moves into Marvel NOW! With stories written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Christos Gage and Stefano Caselli, the volume provides a diverse set of three Avengers tales that vary from large scale adventure to […]
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 […]
Deadpool: Soul Hunter (Comic Files)
Preamble Guess what Agent Ben, Deadpool’s back! Yes, the merc with a mouth is hanging out yet again with some of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s finest in Deadpool: Soul Hunter by Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn with illustrations by Scott Koblish and Mike Hawthorne. Being a Deadpool book, Deadpool: Soul Hunter is far from the high and tight […]
