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”
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.

Wolverine #12 Review! The Last Wolverine Story: Conclusion
This is it. The be all, end all, last issue of the WOLVERINE title. Going back to 1988 with WOLVERINE number 1, or even farther to the Frank Miller/Chris Claremont mini series from 1982, it has been quite the rollercoaster adventure, chronicling Wolverine’s life. It all comes down to this, a double sized issue that is now the bookend to a long and illustrious comic book series. [Read more…] about Wolverine #12 Review! The Last Wolverine Story: Conclusion
Silver Surfer #5 Review! The End of a Five Issue Setup Arc
Dan Slott and Michael Allred’s run on Silver Surfer was one of my most anticipated books once it was announced. I loved the idea that Surfer was going to travel around the universe with a human companion as they explore a trippy Jack Kirbyesque version of the Marvel Galactic Universe. And while I’m not disappointed with with this run, I do wish it would pick up the pace a bit. Dan slott has spent the last four issues introducing the audience to the new character of Dawn Greenwood, and while that is not a bad thing seeing as Dawn is a likeable character, let me just say that this book has not quite reached the heights set by the Infinite Comic that Marvel released on Comixology around the time this book started.
