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 […]

All New X-Men: Here to Stay (Comic Files)
Preamble As a kid I was introduced to Marvel comics through X-Factor. One of my most prized childhood issues is X-Factor #1 which brings back together the original X-Men of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Ice Man (ironically none of these five are my favorite X-Man). So when Agent Ben told me about All […]
Secret Avengers #9 (Comic Files)
Preamble If there was ever a comic poised for a letdown for me, it is Secret Avengers #9. I love with a big old capital L the Mockingbird centered Secret Avengers #8. So it would take a lot for Nick Spencer and team to keep me from being disappointed with this Daisy Johnson focused issue. […]

Wolverine #7 (Comic Files)
Preamble I love Wolverine. Seriously I have done some major apologizing and explaining about The Wolverine. But I had quit reading Wolverine with the S.H.I.E.L.D. arc at the end, I thought. I was wrong because Nick Fury Jr. is back to hang out with his buddy Logan. Situation Report Thanks to a Microverse virus […]
Infinity #1 (Comic Files)
Preamble Infinity is here and like the last Marvel event Age of Ultron making its claim on a future MCU movie! Okay that may just be sarcasm creeping in.
