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 […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #40 (Comic Files)
Preamble The Jean Grey School is under siege by S.H.I.E.L.D.! Wolverine is out and about fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. sentinels and slugging the mutant terrorist Cyclops. But based on this cover, I just want to know if the school is getting shut down by S.H.I.E.L.D.? Situation Report This issue is broken into two plots. In the […]
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 […]
Wolverine #13 (Comic Files)
Preamble Sure they say it is the conclusion of a six part arc. But really this “Killable” story has been going on for 13 issues! So I was hoping that “Conclusion” would help provide some relief to my beloved Wolverine and to my bank account as I have a number of monthly comics launching in […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #39 (Comic Files)
Preamble I’ve been promised punching and slashing. So Wolverine and the X-Men #39 better deliver. I need to see some S.H.I.E.L.D. resources get damaged! Logan can you deliver property damage? Situation Report Wolverine travels into the Rockies to a secret and not well defended S.H.I.E.L.D. base. So of course it is a trap! But […]
Wolverine #12 (Comic Files)
Preamble I like Wolverine more than the next guy. But seriously, can we kill him already! The fact that Wolverine #12 touts that it is part 5 of 6 in the “Killable” arc is making me relieved that I soon will have a break from non-healing Wolverine. Situation Report Wolverine finds himself in a […]
Wolverine and the X-Men #38 (Comic Files)
Preamble By all accounts, I made a bad choice. Instead of following my comic book bliss I ignored X-Men: Battle of the Atom and instead started to pick up Infinity and Forever Evil. For these two series I never made it past issue #3 of either (though I do plan to read as collections). Then […]
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 […]
Wolverine #11 (Comic Files)
Preamble I never meant to keep following Wolverine. Honestly, it was Savage Wolverine that caught my attention. But with the promise of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents I find myself still reading this monthly out of the hope of catching a glimpse of Nick Fury Jr. nearly a year later! Situation Report Wolverine #11 continues 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 […]
