In 2010, Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato created a new Avengers comic, Secret Avengers, led by Steve Rogers This new team undertook secret S.H.I.E.L.D.-based missions and initially up against the Shadow Council, who were after the Serpent Crown Or crowns Nick Spencer took over the comic from issue 12.I mention this because in the comics[...]
can anyone else challenge them for a moment of true meta that can also be interpreted as story?Not bad, final issue of Secret Avengers... You too final issue of New Avengers... but the winner is Bitch Planet #4 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro Which, with it's fourth issue, ever to be dubbed "the shower[...]
So in New 52: Futures End, the new Batman Beyond persuades Brother Eye to look across the multiverse to another reality...And in Earth 2: World's End, that's exactly where they are......and the Green Lantern looks back again.Maybe sometimes you should just be happy with the universe you have travelled to? But it also gives a potential for[...]
Secret Avengers drawn by Michael Walsh and Zero, drawn by Marek Oleksicki.And they are both song and dance numbers With Jay Z......and The Smiths.Is this the violence inherent in Morrissey?No, no, that's just silly But at the heart of each book is violence and reaction to that violence We have a MODOK talking about his reasons for being[...]

I understand that Marvel have informed the editorial and creative teams that both the Invaders and Secret Avengers comics are on notice for cancellation and will survive on an issue-to-issue basis.So if you like the books, now is the time to start evangelising on their behalf.We'd previously reported, later confirmed, that Mighty Avengers would be[...]
Though it also reveals that the cast have run out of swear words now and are just having to make up new ones from component parts. That'll be in the Oxford English Dictionary next year.They're simlarly arseholes-for-eyes obsessed in Squidder as well, from Ben Templesmith.Crossed: Badlands just goes as far as it possibly can.Until Original Sin[...]
Though the "sock on the doorknob" line is probably rather insensitive considering the circumstances.I'm not really enjoying the downplaying of The Fury these days when in Secret Avengers even Hawkeye can manages to escape the Fury relatively unharmed.X #14 shows us the power of prayer But I'm sure it can be used for better,[...]
Anything else?Courtesy of Secret Avengers, SHIELD has MODOK! Remind me who are the good guys again?This may be my favourite comic of the day though, as it successfully channels its inner Hawkeye with a painter/poet turned terrorist (not such a jump) and meets a suicidal bomb Shades of Life The Universe And Everything?Maybe it's time for another[...]
And the second issues of Ghost Rider and Secret Avengers by Tradd Moore and Ales Kot were both better then the first and welcome editions to the 616.Over at Image we got a double shot of East of West (volume 2 and #11) If you haven't checked it out, a $1 one dollar #1 is[...]
From today's Secret Avengers Which does, as we'd hoped, feature Fury against Fury Though it's not quite the Fury we remember...First, yes everyone's naked, second SHIELD hacked NSA so they know everything, and in the Marvel Universe, Ed Snowden would have been spilling secrets about Nick Fury to the world and would be hanging out[...]

Am I wrong?Someone likes We3 don't they? Secret Avengers sees Shang Chi against a foe where hand-to-hand combat may not quote be enough Also, love the little panels in this issue Especially MODOK signing a contract...Though, as Sixth Gun shows us, exactly the outcome of any contract can never quite be determined at the time[...]
in Secret Avengers, I do like ice cream But where would a supervillain buy ice cream from?Why that would be the Joker's ice cream emporium in today's Batgirl, the Gothtopia issue, where everything's just a little more lighty-brighty.. talking fo which...Imagine Agents #4 searches for wings that work, but we won;t get to them until[...]
Not so fast, Locke & Key: Alpha #2, we've only just started our run through the day's comic books. Just no one ask exactly what is being… wiped away, here. And yes, it's the final issue of this wonderful series. Watch it go out with a bang. Thanks for that Uncanny Avengers, giving us a […]
But Secret Avengers fills a nice gap...Is that Eric Sykes, British comedy legend and writer/star of the infamous The Plank short film? Should Think Tank be renamed Think Plank? You know it makes sense.. and as for that T-shirt of choice.. such language could get a man into trouble.Or, not using such language[...]
Who's with me on this?Why, it's a new Inhuman from today's Secret Avengers He makes the point rather succintly, I feel.But so does Imagine Agents #2 Heroes just don't get the respect they deserve no more.Well, we're getting a mostly-black Avengers, why not a black Fantastic Four? Who seem to be in about as[...]

Another week, a lovely load of comic books! The Gay Blade does seem to suit the long beard and hair in when talking to a created-by-Alan-Moore character in today's Tom Strong, doesn't he? Today's lesson. When fighting Nova, don't call his mother a cow. Simples. Don't worry new Inhuman-in-Secret-Avengers, there are worst places you could […]
