Lanterns is Here!
*NOTE: This was written before having seen episode 3 Between all the hype for Avengers; Doomsday and the current resurgence the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had this year, most of the posts on this blog revolve around that, but contrary to popular belief, I also love a good DC project. After all, it was CW’s…

Heavy Lies The Head That Wears The Mask: Dan Slott Spider-Man Finale
So the time has finally come, where I finally finish my reading of Dan Slott’s Spider-Man run. Before I go in to my thoughts on this section, I think it’s important to note that the general consensus on this section of the run is fairly negative. I only give that context because going in to…

Spinning The Same Webs: Dan Slott Spider-Man Part 3
So here we are at the second last part of the Dan Slott Spider-Man read through, and oh boy do I have a few thoughts on the return of Peter Parker, so let’s just jump right into it. This is a very small volume, with only 18 issues as part of the main run, so…

Superiority Complex: Dan Slott Spider-Man Part 2

New Comics Round-Up – May 6th
This was a middling week for me in terms of quantity, but there’s definitely some good stuff this week! Batman #9Every month, I look forward to one book to give me the feeling of a warm hug, and Batman is always that book. Matt Fraction is always on top of his game giving us one…

What Does It Mean To Be Invincible?
When it comes to comics, everyone has different series or creators that they consider the best. Whether or not people agree is simply a matter of preference. For example, I’ve said here before that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is my favorite comic series of all time, and to lots of people that seems childish. But…

New Comics Round-Up – April 1st
Something I want to start doing every week or two is to go through all the weekly pulls I have on a given week and give my quick thoughts on them. In a typical month, I’m reading on average 35-40 monthly titles so hopefully that gives me enough content to fill in some gaps. This…

So, at the start of February I decided to start my journey into reading all modern day Avengers comics, starting with volume three written by Kurt Busiek. Going in to these 56 issues (plus the 12 Avengers Forever issues), I was cautiously optimistic. Taking Kurt Busiek, who wrote one of my favorite comics of all…
