The Mighty Avengers #15

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

A blockbuster epic approached as a short story collection might sound a contradiction in terms, but is a concept very suited to Brian Bendis’s slow-burn writing style. With the casts of both Avengers titles still tied up in the Savage Land, the Secret Invasion’s mastermind continues his trip through the Marvel Universe’s recent past, showing [...]

Dusting Off: New Avengers #1 (January 2005)

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Every Wednesday we take turns to delve into our trusty longboxes, pluck out a dusty back issue at random, and give you our thoughts. We’ll also try and place it in the context of the time it was originally published.

New Avengers #39

Friday, March 28th, 2008

When Marvel brought back annuals after a lengthy absence from the shelves, they promised that they would essentially function as extra-sized issues of the parent series that would make them a must-buy. In the past, annuals contained extra-sized, though largely peripheral stories, and buyers treated them like the superfluous luxuries they were. While recently not [...]

New Avengers #37

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Following a good few months of barely comprehensible stories containing tie-ins with comics that still have yet to see print over in Mighty Avengers, this issue finally regains some sense of coherance. The New Avengers track down the up-and-coming crime boss, the Hood, and decide to ambush him and his super-villain army, using only their fists [...]
