Fear Itself Checklist

(via)
MARCH 2ND, 2011 FEAR ITSELF BY STUART IMMONEM POSTER

Avengers Prime

(via)
AVENGERS PRIME collects issues #1-5 of this indulgence of a mini-series, featuring Brian Michael Bendis’ writing and Alan Davis’ predictably dynamic illustrations. Not that this was a story that needed telling. Rather, AVENGERS PRIME – or, as I like to call it, the big apology adventure – is pretty much Bendis at his most egregious utilizing the decompression style. At the end of this story, what crucial plot points are served, really, other than these three primary Avengers getting over their beef? Forward, the Brightest Day or Heroic Age or whatever.

Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos

(via)
This run should have been called SS guest starring Starlins creations. When Jim Starlin took over he brought a great deal of excitement with him, he also brought the world of Thanos that he created many years ago in Captain Marvel & Iron Man.

X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga

(via)
The Dark Phoenix Saga by Chris Claremont and John Byrne was simply the best comic book story I have ever read. While this trade paperback contains most of it, the story really ran for about 25 issues *before* the issues in the TPB.

The Death of Captain America Omnibus

(via)
This a an excellent, lovely collection of some wonderful “Captain America” stories between issues 25-42 of the current Captain America series being published by Marvel comics. Although not a perfect collection, it comes pretty close, and is presented in a sturdy, wonderful and high quality format that will look great on any shelf and stand up to several readings.

Infinity Gauntlet

(via)
When the Infinity Gauntlet saga originally happened, I was in my comic collecting prime. I missed out on most the saga, sadly, because I was in an area where it was quite hard to get a good selection of comics.

Vengeance of Moon Knight, Vol. 1: Shock and Awe

(via)
I love Moon Knight. Love him. And I also love the writer of this book, Gregg Hurwitz. His “FoolKiller” mini-series were amazing and got me hooked on his writing. Here though, it’s a mixed bag.

X-Men: The Complete Onslaught Epic, Book 1

(via)
Here is the first of 4 X-Men books, chronicling the Onslaught Saga from the late 90′s. Many people will praise it. Many people will hate it. This is one of the those books that marked the beginning of a downward trend for Marvel.

Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth

(via)
Yeah, it sure is. Does it succeed? You better believe it! I’ve been into the Merc with a Mouth for quite a few years now. Honestly, besides Joe Kelly’s work, this has to be some of the best writing I’ve read in a Deadpool book. It doesn’t quite reach Kelly’s level, but it sure comes close.

Inhumans

(via)
The Inhumans by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee is an incredible work. Told in 12 chapters, the story takes a bit of time to unfold and new readers will need a while to familiarize themselves with all of the characters. But once these two areas are handled…get ready for a fun ride.

Spider-Man: The Complete Clone Saga Epic, Book 1

(via)
I look back on the Clone Saga with a mixture of frustration and nostalgia. These were my prime comic reading days…and some parts of the story were good. So when I heard that a series of volumes would finally collect this massive plotline within several books, I was pretty excited.

Wolverine Vol. 1: Wolverine Goes to Hell

(via)
With all the Wolverine stories out there today, how do you create a new story arc that reminds us why Wolverine is so awesome? You get Jason Aaron to write it and send Wolvie to Hell!

House of M

(via)
There was also the Age of Apocalypse miniseries, in which Apocalyspe, in an altered reality, controlled the world, and Magneto was the leader of the X-Men. However, in most alternate reality storylines, the ending seemed to undo everything. The characters remembered nothing of the other world when things went back to normal. Such is not the case in House of M.

Avengers: Nights of Wundagore

(via)
It’s great to read old stories that are just as fresh as ones written today. This Avengers book will not dissapoint fans, especially since the story arc is so important to the future of the Avengers.

Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk

(via)
The Hulk is one of my favorite superhero characters around and this collection is probably one of the best stories he’s seen in many years, probably the finest since the epic Pantheon saga that Peter David did in the early 90′s.

iOS Apps: Marvel Comics

(via)

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions blends together four universes from the Marvel Comics multiverse, it gives players the unprecedented chance to play four different “Spider-Men” in one game.

Gods Smile Upon Mighty Thor at Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO — Any doubts about Thor, the upcoming movie based on the Norse god comic book character, got seriously hammered Saturday when Marvel Studios showed off a ballsy new trailer at Comic-Con International.

Captain America Outfit Revealed, It’s Cooler Than We Thought It Would Be

(via)
When I heard so very long ago that a Captain America movie was on the horizon my first thought was “oh dear god don’t let them destroy the outfit” after all the red, white and blue coloring is a symbol of what Captain America stands for. I’m happy to announce that a mock-up of the outfit has been spotted (pictured above) and it’s not hideous.

Iron Man 2 Movie Review

(via)
Marvel’s most celebrated Superhero, Iron Man 2 showcases an excellent weapon loaded with minimal firepower.

First Official Look at Chris Hemsworth as Thor

(via)
Amidst all the brouhaha surrounding Iron Man 2, Marvel would also like to remind fans that the next movie to be released will be Thor, and the best way to do that was to finally reveal what Chris Hemsworth looks like as the Norse thunder god.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

(via)
Concept: The amazingly recuperative fighting machine with retractable claws known as Wolverine, gets his own violent backstory in this prequel to the X-Men movie trilogy. Wolverine navigates his dicey relationship with mastermind Victor Creed and the Weapon X program as a parade of mutants old and new gives the rage-filled Wolverine more reasons to get ticked off.

Movie Review - Iron Man

(via)
when i first heard that they are planning to film IRON MAN, i was really not sure if it was a brilliant idea. i can’t say that IRON MAN have less “recall” to viewers unlike the X-MEN, FANTASTIC FOUR or SPIDERMAN. maybe it’s worth a try.
