Preamble I love Secret Avengers and never have any constructive criticism to give it. Oh man, another cover I do not dig at all. Geez, I hope we get something in issue number 6 that gets my attention. Situation Report Lady Bulleye continues to be alive and has hijacked a Japanese bullet train. All […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble As this new volume of Secret Avengers begins I will admit to being a little lost. It does not help that at times the team seems newly formed, even though Spider-Woman is really the only new member. I guess this is a good thing because it serves as a jumping on point for new […]
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 Avengers Vol. 3 #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble Okay, I am still not completely warmed up to Secret Avengers volume 3. But I am here to stay as long as this really is a S.H.I.E.L.D. book. Yes, I would love a book with the whole Bus Crew, but I will continue to see it as a win if Coulson is in print! […]
Secret Avengers Vol. 3 #1 (Comic Files)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
