Preamble Man, it has been nothing but tense lately. We found out some shocking secrets about Nick Fury in Original Sin. And I cannot even discuss the distrubing turns on Tuesday nights that we were hit with (because it is possible that some agents do not know yet about that thing with that person). So […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #10 (Comic Files)
Preamble Thanksgiving really threw me for a loop. Because of being off work on new comic book day I had to wait a week to get my copy of Secret Avengers #10. Typically that may not have been a problem but with a cover showing Hawkeye and Coulson in a standoff…well it was torture. […]
Secret Avengers Vol.3 #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble It is time for us to dispense with “the love” after the last issue of Secret Avengers and time for us to get dirty as we follow the conspiracy to bring Tlön to Earth. But maybe if not full on romance maybe at least we can find bromance in this issue. Situation Report […]
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 Vol. 3 #8 (Comic Files)
Preamble Secret Avengers has been doing what it does best, building complicated conspiracies! In Secret Avengers #8 “Tried to Run/Tried to Hide” Ales Kot and Michael Walsh begin to turn back the curtain to show us how things have unraveled to this point. And we might just be surprised what we find, cue the romance […]
Avengers World: A.I.M.PIRE (Comic Files)
Preamble I really came to love Nick Spencer’s run on Secret Avengers. I loved his A.I.M. vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. storyline and it felt like a big spy movie every month. But he abandoned me for Avengers World with Jonathan Hickman as co-writer and Stefano Caselli as artist. As I sat with pen in hand reading Avengers […]
Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand (Comic Files)
Preamble The rumor was that Galactus might eat the Earth of Marvel’s Ultimate universe. Well, he did not. In Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand, Galactus does leave a deep scar on the Ultimate universe and plenty of unanswered questions. But as we see with continuing titles, Galactus failed to get a full meal! Situation […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble Seriously, do you know how hard it was to not tell you that Deadpool was the big reveal in Secret Avengers #6?. Seriously I was pumped, but since the Tradd Moore and Matthew Wilson cover of Secret Avengers #7 lets the cat out of the bag, and is brilliant, I can now tell you […]
Red She-Hulk: Route 616 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have to admit there is something different about this one, Red She-Hulk: Route 616. First, it is written by Jeff Parker whom Agents Daniel and Ben enjoy over at the distinguished competition with Aquaman. Second, this volume mostly paints S.H.I.E.L.D. as somewhat the bad guys as they hunt the title character. And finally, […]
Avengers Assemble: The Forgeries of Jealousy (Comic Files)
Preamble What’s it like to be young, confidant, super-powered and in trouble in the Marvel 616? Kelly Sue DeConnick and Warren Ellis give us a glimpse to this world through the eyes of young Spider-Girl in Avengers Assemble: The Forgeries of Jealousy. Can Spider-Girl and the reader learn what it’s like to be a real […]
