While this isn’t the first issue to set up Marvel’s next event, Uncanny Avengers #24 marks the first issue that officially places one of Rick Remender’s titles (who is going to write the event) on the path towards Axis. This is the first issue not directly involved with the excellent Apocalypse Twins/Kang arc that Remender has been writing for over two years. Still picking up the pieces from the major fallout of that story, we revert back to the Red Skull plot point introduced during the first arc of this title (which was great by the way). So how does this title do picking up where the last arc left off and set things up for Marvel’s next event. [Read more…] about Uncanny Avengers #24 Review! The Road to Axis Continues

Superior Spider-Man #33 Review! A Little Help From My Friends
You just can’t keep Doc Ock/Superior Spidey down. It has been a while now since Peter Parker regained his body and mind and defeated Doctor Octopus, but because of the Edge of Spider-Verse event that is happening, we get more issues of SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN. Which is not a bad thing in the least, because as we learn in this issue, Superior Spidey is a singular being. [Read more…] about Superior Spider-Man #33 Review! A Little Help From My Friends
Avengers #35 Review! The Three Avengers
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.
