Savage Avengers vol. 1: City of Sickles

Would you care to take a guess which “Avengers” series isn’t present (save for one issue) on Marvel Unlimited?  I blame Conan since the Cimmerian’s other Marvel-published comics aren’t on that app either.  So that means I had to buy this volume to see what kind of threat would have him team up with Wolverine, […]

Harrow County Omnibus vol. 1

First Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw toiled in obscurity on titles like “Buzzkill” and “The Paybacks.”  Then they hit it big at Image with “God Country.”  Then they hit it bigger at Marvel with “Thanos Wins.”  Then they did an arc of “Guardians of the Galaxy” while Cates went on to even bigger success with […]

Marvel Previews Picks: September 2021

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Dark Ages #1 (of 6) With “DCeased,” Tom Taylor delivered a smash hit for DC that, as of this writing, entails two core miniseries, a thoroughly entertaining side-story, and a digital-first series that has since been collected in print.  Given how the writer has had a long history with Marvel before this, “Dark […]
