I’m trying to get back on track reading the original Avengers run, what with so much of my time being spent in doors of late. Suffice it to say, I finally made it to the inaugural issue featuring the appearance of Vision. #spoilers This is actually one of the faster paced books I’ve read fromContinue reading “Avengers #57”

Mongul… y’all remember Mongul, right? He’s this buff alien bad@$$ that once screwed with Superman’s mind, amongst other things. These days he’s all about #spoilers pitting would-be contenders for intergalactic peace against one another. Even better? He’s just getting warmed up. Meanwhile, Lois Lane deals with the overbearing pressure of a world now knowing Superman’sContinue reading “Superman #21”

The world spins on. Of how recent events has taken its effect on the comic book industry I may speak of later, but for now, some fun. #spoilers? Like its anniversary predecessors over the past couple years, Robin’s big book is nothing short of delightful. In fact, it might even be a contender for theContinue reading “Robin 80th Anniversary Special”

Y’know, I didn’t realize just how long it had been since I read a solid team-up until this book. Marvel Insider is doing a special for members to read the early Absolute Carnage titles, and honestly I think this one was probably the strongest. #spoilers Miles and Ganke are in town looking for shoes whenContinue reading “Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales #1”

This was an awesome one-off, and I say that mainly because I wasn’t expecting much going in. Similar to Action Comics I’ve been thinking of giving Detective Comics the boot as well. Lo and behold, this one rejuvenated my desire to carry on. #spoilers My favorite thing about Detective is that more so than theContinue reading “Detective Comics #1017”

#spoilers I’m going to say up front that if there’s one problem I presently have with this Doom! arc, it’s that I’m feeling awfully behind on a lot of key plot points. Leviathan has been revealed as a man named Mark Shaw, Lex Luthor is half-Martian somehow, and … that’s about it, I guess, butContinue reading “Action Comics #1019”

Things are really starting to heat up in Batman right now! … My comics vendor mentioned that this book is already going for higher prices… though I’m not exactly sure why besides the cover… #spoilers Batman’s gauntlet of assassins and at-risk rogues continues on. A lot happens here, and yet not so much, but atContinue reading “Batman #89”

I’m getting a little caught up on Venom. As with all my great binges, it comes from me taking the title off of my pull just before it got really good. To be honest it was Ryan Stegman’s artwork during Absolute Carnage that really swayed me to returning to the series, and honestly it’s aContinue reading “Venom #4”

I recently received a few old issues of Captain Canuck as a gift from a friend of mine. Took me a bit, but I’m starting to give them a look. #spoilers I’ve only read the first issue, but I have to say that this is such a treat. As a proud Canadian, it’s fun toContinue reading “Captain Canuck #1 (1975)”

What happens when you dig up Rick Jones’ corpse and splice it with the Abomination? #spoilers The Thing. The Thing happens. Like, John Carpenter style, I kid you not. Look. Seriously… I know Immortal Hulk has been about bringing horror back to the jade giant, but damn, I didn’t think I’d ever see something likeContinue reading “The Immortal Hulk #19”
