COMICS FOR HEROES Presents: The November File
This is the first in what will be a regular series that briefly reviews the books that I (Brian, President and Founder of Comics for Heroes) have read every month. There is no such thing as a bad comic — just one that may not be for you. One of the great things about comics…
Review: NEW AVENGERS #24
NEW AVENGERS #24 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Mike Deodato Jr. Release Date: April 11, 2012 Avengers Vs. X-Men is here, and with it, the first tie-in issue. It is completely logical that this book would tie-in to the AvX main series, being that every single member of this book is a part…
Review: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1
AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by John Romita Jr. Release Date: April 4, 2012 Last week we got our first taste of Avengers Vs. X-Men with issue #0 and this week, amidst pre-launch parties and shops choosing sides, the main event begins. Avengers Vs. X-Men has a lot riding on…
Review: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #0
AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #0 Written by Brian Michael Bendis & Jason Aaron Art by Frank Cho Release Date: March 28, 2012 And so it begins….Avengers Vs. X-Men #0 is not part of the ‘main event’ but rather a little appetizer to whet your appetite and introduce (or perhaps re-introduce) readers to two key players in…
Review: ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #8
ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #8 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Sara Pichelli Release Date: March 7, 2012 I’m gonna come out and say it: this is the best book Marvel is putting out. I never expected to be saying this about Ultimate Spider-Man, but each month, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man delivers and issue #8 is…
Review: NEW AVENGERS #22
NEW AVENGERS #22 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Mike Deodato & Will Conrad Release Date: February 29, 2012 This particular arc of Avengers/New Avengers has been difficult for me, as it felt like Osborn was being brought back prematurely…but with a single issue that has all changed. New Avengers #22 is filled with…
Review: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6
ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #6 Written by Brian M. Bendis Art by Chris Samnee Release Date: January 18, 2012 I don’t know how much more I can rave about this title, but issue after issue Ultimate Comics Spider-Man delivers. Issue #6 is no exception, and while I did miss Sara Pichelli, Chris Samnee does an excellent…
Review: Avengers #21
AVENGERS #21 Written by Brian M. Bendis Art by Renato Guedes Release Date: January 18, 2011 I’m not entirely sure I was ready for Avengers vs. Norman Osborn just 2 years after Siege and Dark Reign, and I can say with certainty that I was not ready for it to consume two of my favorite…
Review: Avengers Annual #1
AVENGERS ANNUAL #1 Written by Brian M. Bendis Art by Gabrielle Dell’Otto Brian M. Bendis is the king of the Avengers titles and the Avengers Annual #1 is no exception. It is a really solid read for long time Avengers fans, but for an annual it may not be the most accessible title for new…
