Suggested Reading: The History of Marvel Comics Dramatically Transforming Key Characters

August 25, 2014 by Dave 4 Comments

This past July, Marvel announced that they’ll be launching “Avengers NOW” in the fall, another revamp of their comic book universe. More dramatically, Marvel has unveiled key details of this initiative, including the reveal of Thor becoming a woman (but not Lady Thor), Sam Wilson upgrading from Falcon to Captain America, and Iron Man donning a new suit in a series titled “Superior Iron Man.” It’s a continued, largely successful effort on Marvel’s end to inject new life into their comics since Marvel NOW!, but as you’d expect the major character transformations are met with both praise and abject hate, cheering and cries of political correctness gone wrong. Personally, I’m a big fan of new stories and Marvel taking chances with their characters. Don’t buy it? Here’s a whole bunch of suggested reading from the past where Marvel dramatically changed established heroes along with the end result: [Read more…] about Suggested Reading: The History of Marvel Comics Dramatically Transforming Key Characters

2014’s 10 Best Ongoing Comic To Start Reading RIGHT NOW (Mid-Year Edition!)

July 10, 2014 by Dave 2 Comments

I’m either more plugged into the new comic book landscape through my reviews over on Capeless Crusader, or 2014 is absurdly impressive in terms of new comic book output. Seems like every week there are a handful of “must-grab” number one issues. This is exciting (tons of good comics!), but also a bit intimidating. Let’s say you’re new to comic book pulllists, or simply on a budget. Where do you start? [Read more…] about 2014’s 10 Best Ongoing Comic To Start Reading RIGHT NOW (Mid-Year Edition!)

The Best of Captain America Comics in Marvel Unlimited

March 26, 2014 by Dave 6 Comments

Of all the founding Avengers, Captain America was one of them.

This is an egregious foray into sacrilige, but it’s how I felt about solo Captain America stories for years. The old guy? The boyscout without superman’s godlike ability? The star of one of the most unintentionally hilarious B-movies of all time? No thanks!

Needless to say, I’ve learned the error of my ways. Here are the best Captain America comics on Marvel Unlimited: [Read more…] about The Best of Captain America Comics in Marvel Unlimited

2014’s 10 Best Ongoing Comics to Start Collecting RIGHT NOW

January 6, 2014 by Dave 3 Comments

So your New Year’s resolution for 2014 is to start collecting some of the best ongoing comics in all the land. Great decision. Exercise and productivity are shamefully overrated.

Much like I did with 2013’s mid-year list, this collection of comics will meet some combination of accessibility (they aren’t 40 issues into a great run like Chew) and enjoyability (they have proven their awesomeness or potential). While many comic book stories can be consumed best via trade collections, this list details the non-major publisher books I think you’ll have the best experience with on a month-to-month basis. Kick off 2014 right by adding these comics to your pull list: [Read more…] about 2014’s 10 Best Ongoing Comics to Start Collecting RIGHT NOW
