Why Marvel Should Bring Back The Thunderbolts
Every issue was a 8-10 on ratings scale, and it was easily one of my most anticipated comics to come out each month. And then it abruptly stopped at the beginning of Secret Empire. Curse you, Secret Empire Must you take everything from me? I mean what I said at the top of this article[...]

I was Bleeding Cool's resident "Secret Empire is actually pretty good guy." I'm not so much anymore I tried to defend it, because I saw a lot of good in it It's hard to do that anymore I'd say Secret Empire #5 broke me, but, in truth, it finished off the culmination of problems that[...]

Secret Empire #5 Review – Just Not Good Super Hero Fiction
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Now, even though I am Bleeding Cool's "Secret Empire is actually pretty good" guy, doesn't mean I think the series is perfect It has its flaws, and one of my first two articles for BC was my review of #2, which was a comic that could basically be summed up with "Hey, don't forget[...]
Secret Empire: Brave New World #2 Review: Half A Good Book
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] As Bleeding Cool's resident "Secret Empire is actually pretty good" guy and as someone who was looking forward to the debut of the new Patriot, Rayshaun Lucas, I felt that it was necessary to review this comic.
