Daredevil - Black Widow Appearance























When the Daredevil Netflix television series came, we wondered if there was a possibility of someone else appearing on the show. This particular character was a frequent partner of Daredevil and also an Avenger.

Review: Secret Avengers 21.1

Captain America taps Hawkeye to be the new leader of the covert Secret Avengers team. Accompanying him on a mission, will Hawkeye pass the test? Does Captain America even realize what’s in store for both them?

It’s not easy being a superhero, especially with the world filled with many problems taking up your time. That’s the dilemma Captain America faces and turns to another Avenger to lead the covert team of the Secret Avengers. That honor lands on Clint Barton better known as Hawkeye. Of course, when you choose a candidate for a demanding role such as this, you might want to tell them first!

In Secret Avengers issue 21.1, Captain America and Hawkeye head off to the country of Bagalia to rescue an American politician. Using S.H.I.E.L.D. technology to sneak their way in, all is not what it seems when they finally locate the politician. Instead, it happens to be a trap set up by Max Fury and Captain America ends being captured by the Masters of Evil. Looks like the test for Hawkeye turned out to be more than what the duo bargained for as Max Fury eventually explains to Captain America. Who ends up rescuing the good Captain? Pick up issue 21.1 at your local stores to find out!

Review: Amazing Spiderman Issue 683



Spiderman brings some heavy hitters namely, The Avengers to help him stop Dr. Ock and his mad scheme. Will even the combined force of Earth's mightiest heroes be enough to stop the Sinister Six and Dr. Octopus from completing his goal of world destruction?

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men Issue 2


Not even John Romita Jr.’s spectacular artwork could really save issue 2 of Avengers vs. X-Men. While there are some good qualities about the second issue, it has been reduced to showcasing scenes that branch off into other comic books, forcing the reader to purchase these related titles.

In effect, the focus on The Phoenix force, Hope Summers and The Scarlet Witch as main elements, has been substantially reduced. Instead, what we readers get is page after page of cut scenes and transitions so fast, that it leaves nothing enjoyable about the book itself. You’re left wondering if there’s truly anything you’re missing out by not picking the other titles.

X-Men: Storm


It's amazing how many changes costume-wise and especially appearances, a character goes through over the years. While there may be some fan backlash on social networking sites for fan favorites such as Power Girl in her Earth-2 series outfit, the same hasn't been said for Storm, the revered member and former leader of the X-Men.

Alexandra Shipp as young Storm
On the big screen, fans finally got to see her rock her famous mohawk look, in the X-Men: Age of Apocalypse film. Generations have been used to Halle Berry's portrayal of the mutant but we were definitely treated to Alexandra Shipp's portrayal of young Ororo Munroe. It should be noted that only Kitty Pryde gave her disapproval of Storm's drastic new look when Storm revealed it, to the entire team.

Halle Berry as Storm

Marvel Comics' TJ Dietsch highlights some of her spectacular costumes during the past few decades. In fact, her biggest change came during the 1980s right after initial appearance. Capitalizing on the waning punk rock and new wave movement at the time, Storm sported a mohawk! Here's a look at the weather wonder woman over the years and to her style in the Marvel NOW X-Men series:

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men 0


Unfortunately, the buildup issue leading towards the battle of the year was a bit of a letdown, offering scant details of the upcoming event. While the issue does profile both the Scarlet Witch and Hope Summers, little is revealed of their major roles in the miniseries. Does the emotionally unbalanced Scarlet Witch become more of a presence in this miniseries?

LEGO X-Men Marvel Superheroes



Could some of the upcoming LEGO X-Men minifigs wind up being released along with or part of the LEGO Avengers movie sets as well? A peek at the Marvel Superheroes page at the LEGO site, shows Magneto, Deadpool and Wolverine alongside Earth's mightiest heroes. This could also be simply a preview of the separate LEGO X-Men merchandise to come. Of course, this is all just speculation but we'll have more updates as they come.
