Captain America Reborn is Marvel’s big summer mini-event. A culmination of plots put in place by Ed Brubaker two years ago when Captain America was shot.
Firstly, to the negative. The truth of what happened to Steve is revealed (only partially to the other heroes, but we find out the truth from a conversation between Norman [...]

Well, that wasn’t entirely what was expected.
For anyone expecting a big fight between the New and Dark Avengers, this issue is going to disappoint. The cover is in fact, the only place the two teams appear together. However, that said, this was still an enjoyable issue and the conflict actually played out in [...]

Despite feeling a bit burned by the Avengers titles during Secret Invasion, and personally not being too bothered about the New Avengers lineup, the idea of them facing off against the Dark Avengers is enough to get me interested in this issue.
Newsarama now have the preview for the issue up and I must admit the [...]

Its event week this week, with Final Crisis #4 from DC and the penultimate part of Secret Invasion from Marvel.
Following on from last month’s issue, this part is effectively one giant fight scene between the humans and the Skrulls. There’s some great moments though, best of which is probably Hawkeye’s revenge for the fake [...]

Unusual comics post from me this week, since its been largely Marvel stuff that’s been catching my eye over the last couple of weeks. However with GL and GLC due later in the month, not to mention Final Crisis kicking back in at the end of the month, I don’t imagine it’ll be long [...]

The fact that I enjoyed Secret Invasion #5 has obviously given this series a shot in the arm for me, as while I doubt I’d have enjoyed these tie-ins a couple of weeks ago, I definitely did enjoy the background this week.
New Avengers revisits the Skrull Throneworld after the Illuminati’s disasterous retaliation. Here we [...]

Is it just me, or are the main Avengers titles tie ins to Secret Invasion becoming more missable? Or am I just starting to hit crossover burnout?
After the missable Hank Pym issue of Might Avengers, I decided to just skip the Elektra-focussed issue of Mighty this month, as I’m more interested in the ongoing [...]

Well, its been a busy couple of weeks, with a tonne of Secret Invasion stuff.
First up was Mighty Avengers, which filled in some of the backstory as to how and when Hank Pym was replaced. To be honest, this was the first MA issue I felt was a bit missable, although I can [...]
