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. […]
Captain America: Winter Soldier (Comic Files)
Preamble Ed Brubaker’s Captain America: Winter Soldier hit my reading wish list for one simple reason, I love the trailer for the spring 2014 movie of the same name. I am excited about this Marvel Cinematic Universe feature and really wanted to dig into one of the story sources of this hopefully epic movie. Situation Report […]
Infinity #3 (Comic Files)
Preamble With my interest fading, would Infinity #3 save my curiosity in this series? Would I keep up with the story as I continue to refuse to read titles like Avengers and New Avengers on a weekly basis? Would DC’s Villains Month and Black Manta #1 make me question my spending habits? You will find […]
Infinity #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble I have been waiting for Infinity #2, mostly so I could figure out who the villain is. The good news is that I now know. Both Thanos and the Builders are the big bad! Yet separated by millions and millions of miles I wonder how this story is going to come together. Situation […]
Thanos Rising #5 (Comic Files)
Preamble I read Thanos Rising for one reason, the fact I did not immediately know who was this purple guy at the end of The Avengers . And since he was there he had to matter right! In this series the reader really digs deep into the origin of this super villain and his psychological […]

Thanos Rising #3 (Comic Files)

In the end unable to fill this hole floating through the galaxy, he returns to his origins and a further step into darkness. Situation Report Readers of Thanos […]
Thanos Rising #2 (Comic Files)
Preamble The first observation that a reader of Thanos Rising #2 will likely have is that this series has quickly taken a dark turn. Thanos is no longer the friendly likable boy that we were introduced to in issue #1. Instead now he has taken his first steps to being the monster that the Avengers […]
Avengers Assemble (Comic Files)
Preamble One problem with the Iron Man movie was that people loved the movie and when they wanted more of that and turned to the comics, the character was not exactly the same. This can mean some quick course corrections by the publisher to catch up to the movies. Remember after X-Men came out, all […]
