What a long, strange trip it’s been in the pages of Avengers. Poor Steve Rogers has been hurdled through time, yet again, but this is directly because of the time gem, of infinity gem fame. (We still have yet to see that one in any of the marvel movies, so keep your eyes peeled for that.) [Read more…] about Avengers #34 Review! The Last Avenger

Avengers Undercover #9 Review! The End is Near for Marvel’s Most Underrated Title
And so we’ve reached the second to last issue of a story that’s been going on since the beginning of MARVEL NOW! A book that I have enjoyed and looked forward to every month since it began as Avengers Arena, sadly appears it’s going to end slightly ahead of schedule, and will not allow Dennis Hopeless to write his planned trilogy following these characters. Now that doesn’t mean that this series will have a complete non-ending, it just means Hopeless had to jettison some plot and character development to get to the end he add originally planned. This would explain the three month jump in issue 8. So seeing as I’m talking about the the second to last issue of a story that’s gone through two titles, this is not a jumping on point. Before I start, let me just say I HIGHLY recommend checking out the first trade of Avengers Arena, and onward from there. Now, Avengers Undercover #9.

All-New X-Men #31 Review! While the Adults are away the Children will play
After a couple of fun filler issues in All-New X-Men, we’re finally starting to get into our next big story arc. Bendis has been on a roll with these X-books and the last issue (#30) was one of my favorite so far. I feel like even though not much was happening, he was able to bring in some great character elements and expand more on the X-Men from the past being teenagers. Although this issue does begin the next arc, it also allowed for more of a transition between the last two issues than previous arcs have. [Read more…] about All-New X-Men #31 Review!
