I'm told that the Kev Walker is the new artist on Secret Avengers as part of the MarvelNOW! relaunch, the 2000AD artist currently drawing as much Judge Dredd as he can in Dark Avengers. But who to write the book? Well I have been told two possibilities Either Nick Spencer or Dennis Hopeless And the word[...]

Secret Avengers has been hitting a plot from issue 1 and 2 of AVX, and so seem stuck in an irrelevant past, this point has been lost But the politics of both an alien plante and that of superheroing itself are played with rather nicely It just seems a little pointless at this stage. New Avengers[...]

And a very refreshing take from Jonah Hex on the whole thing. Secret Avengers gives us the New Mar-Vell Family, just at a time when DC are abandoning their claim to that, or similar, name So, we get a Phoenix-related fight on another planet which may indicate the way it cold go on Earth, in a[...]

We knew it might well be coming in Secret Avengers #27 Because of, you know, the cover and content descriptions, and that kind of thing. But instead, it turns out it actually happened in Secret Avengers #26 In deep space, the body of Mar-Vell is captured by the Kree race, who then use the M'Krann crystal[...]

Quite a large retcon…  Secret Avengers is pretty much obsessed by showing genocide as well Or course, for all these deaths, one person comes back to life… We heard mention that Steve Trevor was in Wildstorm's Team 7 in last week's Justice League Now it seems that Black Canary's new husband Kurt Lance is also a member… Daredevil[...]

But this new cover to Secret Avengers #26 , another Avengers Versus X-Men[...]

Others were Kieron Gillen and Antony Johnston. Today, Secret Avengers #16 by Warren Ellis and Jamie McKelvie is published And it's insanely joyous. Warren Ellis thinks superheroes are silly And, yes, obviously he's right, but he thinks they're very very silly And he likes to prove it So he creates a very silly scenario here, using the[...]

With the conversation about Action Comics #900 still going strong, a new debate begins about Captain America in Secret Avengers #12.1 and its references to events surrounding Wikileaks  And today, Wikileaks took notice  But politics in comics didn't begin when Clark Kent started taking on wartime topics for the Daily Planet in the 1940s, and[...]

And as for Justice, well that's debatable. Oh you thought Action Comics #900 had a monopoly on controversial storylines involving patriotic superheroic figures engaged in real world politics? Except in this case it's a story to get the liberals in a lather over, rather than the conservatives. Like if Captain America took down the people behind Wikileaks[...]
