Avengers #17 has the Avengers saying, “it’s Storm, I know her!”

Scott Redmond — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 13:00:00 +0000

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. A tagline long attributed to the gathered heroes known as the Avengers (one they might have given themselves, who can say). Yet, how mighty can a team of heroes be when they routinely ignore some of the most powerful beings around? Who just happens to be mutants, by the way. Don’t worry...

Dan Grote — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 16:00:00 +0000

In 2017, Marvel released Marvel Legacy #1, a one-shot intended to move its marquee characters forward after the critical abomination that was that year’s Secret Empire crossover, where a Hydra-fied Captain America takes over the U.S. It was a $5.99 book, expensive for its time, that I fondly remember overflowing from a bin at my...

Austin Gorton — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 13:00:00 +0000

In a stunning turn of events, the Progenitor has abdicated from the position of God to spend the rest of his days as an omniscient corpse. The position of God has been turned over to noted religious extremist Ajak. Truly, an inspiring moment as we get our first female God. A.X.E.: Judgment Day #6 was...

S.W.O.R.D. #5 Preview: Fabian Cortez is honestly incredible. He was introduced in X-Men #1, the best selling comic of all time, with an incredible ability.
