Wow. What a year. I don’t say that lightly, as I believe 2012 was one of the most bountiful years in comics this century. The diversity of titles was astounding and the craftsmanship throughout the industry was fantastic. DC’s New 52 continued to roll with steam, Image proclaimed 2012 the ‘year of creator-owned’ and Marvel…

Review: NEW AVENGERS #30
NEW AVENGERS #30 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Mike Deodato Release Date: September 12, 2012 This is a really solid comic book.

Review: NEW AVENGERS #29
NEW AVENGERS #29 Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Mike Deodato Release Date: August 8, 2012 Illuminati fans, this comic is for you.

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: 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…
