I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vol. 1 & 2 on DVD. The Avengers are one of my all-time favorite superhero teams. I have nearly 400 issues of Avengers comics, so I consider myself a reasonably dedicated fan. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 […]

The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series comes out on DVD today from Walt Disney Studios! They’ve spread the first 13 action-packed episodes across two volumes. I’ve been an avid collector of Avengers comic books since the early 1990s. I love this team and I love these characters. The animated series really has an interesting […]

Looking for some good clean superhero fun? Then give the Power Pack digests a try! If you’re not familiar with Power Pack, they are a team of super-powered siblings ranging in age from 5 to 12. They first appeared in 1984, but Marvel started a new series of adventures five years ago featuring Power Pack […]

I can’t explain it, but I’ve been infected with Bronze Age Marvel Madness! I’m loving old Marvel comics from the Bronze Age! This is surprising because I’m predominantly a post-Crisis DC guy (or Tween-Crisis DC guy to be exact). The Bronze Age is often defined as mainstream comics published from 1970 to 1985. Growing up […]

I love me some Alpha Flight! I got hooked reading the John Byrne back issues in the late 1980s. I’ve stuck with the team ever since. Sadly they were wiped out in early 2006 in New Avengers (vol. I) #16. In 2007 we did get a solid Omega Flight mini-series, but it didn’t spawn anything […]

In addition to blogging about comics this past week, I actually read some too! I’ve literally got stacks and stacks of comics I’m behind on reading. I got through over 60 comics and two digest this past week. For some reason I had a hankerin’ for Marvel, so many of these are Siege and X-related. […]

Siege will be over before we know it. With it brings the cancellation of all the current Avengers titles. Beginning in May, Marvel will relaunch the entire Avengers franchise with some big shake-ups. There will be several one-shots and mini-series, along with four ongoing books. I’ve outlined below what we know so far about the […]
