Well we have quite the doozy on our hands folks. All the events that have been building and building in Avengers, and New Avengers, are starting to come to a head. Finally. Way, way back in the early issues of the reboot of this Avengers line, this was written: “The idea begun by two men. One who was life. And one who was death.” Ominous, but we now get some insight into what that means. [Read more…] about Avengers #35 Review! The Three Avengers

Thor God of Thunder #25 Review! Setup & Backstories
So ends Thor God of Thunder, my favorite title being published by Marvel; except it’s not the end. While issue 25 is the last of this title, the story will continue in the upcoming Thor book which will continue being written by Jason Aaron. Really this is just an example of how much Marvel loves launching titles so they can have more #1s. However, this really doesn’t bother me that much because the story and the artwork have been so amazing throughout, and look like they will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. So with that being said, how does issue 25 cap off this volume of Thor, and set things up for the future. [Read more…] about Thor God of Thunder #25 Review! Setup & Backstories
All-New X-Men #33 Review! The “Ultimate” crossover has arrived
The second issue of the new All-New X-Men story arc has arrived and not very much else happens. All-New X-Men has to be considered one of the best things to come out of Marvel Now!,but it definitely hasn’t been perfect for the whole run. The weakest arc so far in my opinion was The Trial of Jean Grey (this comic’s first crossover with Guardians of the Galaxy ) and I’m afraid this crossover may not be much better. The only difference here is that it’s more of a cameo than a crossover. Instead of the Guardians this time, we get to see the team interacting with Miles Morales and the ultimate universe.

Old-School X-Men with Lincoln Crisler: Uncanny X-Men #200
Our last installment gave us the transition of Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from…well, evil mutants…to a government-sponsored team called Freedom Force. Oh, and they captured Magneto. Okay, Magneto gave himself up willingly. But still, Magneto, in custody. And that’s how the 200th issue of Uncanny X-Men kicks off, with a splash page of Erik in chains, about to go on trial in Paris, and a two-page rundown of his history for the benefit of those readers unfamiliar with it. We’re then introduced to the personnel serving as the case’s prosecution and defense–Sir James Jaspers as the former and Ambassador Gabrielle Haller (with help from Professor Xavier) as the latter.

Edge of Spider-Verse #2 Review: Meet the Newest Spider…
Meet Gwen Stacey. I’m an old-school Marvel fan, and the life and death of Gwen Stacey stands as one of the most powerful moments in the history of the Marvel universe. She was Peter Parker’s lost love, the beautiful girl who he failed to save. She’s also gotten a recent popularity boost through Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man movies.
