As the rest of the comic lines in the Marvel Universe are gearing up for the AXIS event, Captain America is pulling double duty. Not only providing story clues to the upcoming problem that all heroes and villains will be facing, but also dealing with the events started way back in issue number 1.

Death of Wolverine #1 Review! “The End”
Through the last few decades, Wolverine has become a household name, and has gained an incredible amount of fame in and outside the culture of comics. One would have never thought that Marvel would toy with the idea of killing off this immensely popular character, until now, when they totally are going to do just that. It is with a heavy heart and a hopeful look towards the future in comics that I review this first issue of four, THE DEATH OF WOLVERINE. [Read more…] about Death of Wolverine #1 Review! “The End”
Astonishing X-Men Overview & History! – The Joss Whedon, John Cassaday Era (2004-2008)
It all started at a Comic Con. Marvel Editor Joe Quesada spoke to the legendary Joss Whedon, not for the first time, and tempted him with the idea of writing the X-Men – with art by John Cassaday, of whom Whedon was a fan.

If I Wrote Agents of SHIELD Season Two
Let’s face it guys and girls: Agents of SHIELD Season One was disappointing. With a capital DISAPPOINT. Yes, things started to “Turn, Turn, Turn” following Captain America 2, but that simply saw Agents of SHIELD progress from a massive disappointment to a passable show filled to the brim with potential.

You know what? This isn’t about Season One anymore. It’s in the past, and we’ll never watch it again, even though the DVD was just released (seriously: not a DVD you need, although 4 and a half stars on 800 Amazon reviews is STUNNING). It’s time to focus on how we make Agents of SHIELD awesome for Season Two, which begins September 23rd. I have some ideas: [Read more…] about If I Wrote Agents of SHIELD Season Two
Thanos: A God Up There Infinite Comic Review! An Infinity Epilogue
I didn’t have any awareness of Thanos: A God Up There, the six issue Infinite Digital miniseries from Marvel, until I received a Marvel Unlimited membership deal for half off each issue. Having recently enjoyed Jim Starlin’s Thanos: The Infinity Revelation and always carrying an appreciation for the Mad Titan, the opportunity for discounted Thanos stories was too good to pass up. What I didn’t foresee was 1) how enjoyable the series would be and 2) how relevant it would be to Marvel continuity, particularly Infinity.
