Preamble I have Jessica Jones issues, hang-ups not actual comic books. It seems like every time I read her in a story she is yelling the same refrain, “What about the baby!” Now I do agree as a parent that Mr. Cage should be sharing in this mission statement and getting a little more serious […]
Captain America: The Tomorrow Soldier (Comic Files)
Preamble When I reviewed Captain America #25 I had to admit I was a little lost since between defeating Iron Nail and naming a new Captain America some stuff happened. This included a new Zola attack and the return of Sharon Rogers. Now with Captain America: The Tomorrow Soldier by Rick Remender my questions are […]
Avengers A.I.: 12,000 A.D. (Comic Files)
Preamble Sam Humphries’ Avengers A.I. gave us a different kind of Avengers team, one lead by a human and composed of artificial intelligences. Avengers A.I.: 12,000 A.D. brings this short lived title to an end. But the creative crew is able to give the team one last run against their greatest artificial nemesis, which is […]
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. […]
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 […]
Avengers Forever (Comic Files)
Preamble If I have learned anything thanks to Astrocity, it’s that I love me some Kurt Busiek! So despite the fact that I have never been huge into Marvel 616 Avengers, I still prefer the X-Men, when I saw Busiek wrote an Avengers event it was a must read for me. Busiek is enough for […]
A+X + Outstanding (Comic Files)
Preamble I read a lot of comics. And one of my goals is to read all of the Marvel NOW! titles so I have sampled the anthology series A+X combining a Avenger with a mutant but never found it comic file worthy. But then they had to go and add Agent Adsit! Situation Report […]
Avengers A.I.: Human After All (Comics Files)
Preamble My first impression of Avengers A.I. by Sam Humphries was underwhelming. I read through everything in Marvel NOW! thanks to a well-stocked library so eventually I would run across this title. As I opened the first pages and saw an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent I thought I knew I was in trouble. Yep, Avengers A.I. was […]
Ultimate Comics Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 (Comic Files)
Preamble I admit it, we really should cover more books from Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. The Ultimate Nick Fury is honestly more closely related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Nick Fury Jr. in the Marvel 616. And Ultimate Comices Ultimates by Sam Humphries – Volume 1 is a great example of how the MCU could use Marvel […]
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 […]
