***** SPOILER ALERT *****
This review will be discussing plot points which may be considered spoilers. Consider yourselves warned.
Way back in 1963, Marvel premiered The Avengers, a new team comic featuring several of their solo heroes. Of course, in 2012 those same heroes starred in their own feature length film. Missing from that feature however, were two notable Avengers founders, Ant-Man and Wasp.

The Marvel Universe is dead. Nothing really shocking about that, especially since Marvel has been telling us for months that this was their plan for the last couple of years. What I had failed to truly realize is that the destruction of the Marvel universe also meant that most of the titles I have been reading have now ended. When Secret Wars is over, I’m sure that functionally similar titles will return, so I’m not particularly worried, but it does mean that I’ve had to mix up my reading with some of the brand new tie-in titles. My favorite this week, Inferno. Continue reading
