Marvel fans are bracing for INFINITY! The huge cosmic event kicks off in August. The Avengers head into space to face aliens racing to Earth while Thanos launches a sneak attack on our planet.

Aliens are descending on Earth. The Avengers must go into space to stop them. That’s when Thanos launches a sneak attack on the planet.

 

It’s all part of the cosmic showdown: Infinity! Jonathan Hickman has been building up to this war with Thanos since he took over Avengers and New Avengers.

 

As the the forces of Thanos attack Earth – the Inhumans will rise! One of my all-time favorite characters is Black Bolt. The King of the Inhumans has played a huge role in the Illuminati in New Avengers as Marvel’s biggest brains attempted to save Earth with the Infinity Gauntlet. Continue reading Inhumans in INFINITY

Avengers #11 was a thrilling, fun side trip on Jonathan Hickman’s cosmic odyssey! You don’t have to have read the earlier issues and enjoy this espionage filled chapter that puts Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman, Sunspot and Cannonball on the front burner of a undercover mission that would impress James Bond.

A.I.M. scientists are taking the alien viruses from the previous arcs and turning them into bioweapons for highest bidder. Natasha, Carol, Jessica, Roberto and Sam assemble in Macao to execute a Mission Impossible operation against A.I.M. agents. Hickman is known for his big epic scope but here he shows he’s equally powerful at writing comedy mixed with the thrills.

The real star of this issue is Continue reading Avengers #11 Review

Captain America and Iron Man rallied to create a bigger roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and declared Earth as Avengers World in Jonathan Hickman’s first arc. The new and improved team isn’t big enough to handle what’s coming in the six-part event Infinity.

The Avengers will need to become a universal team to face Thanos. Marvel is revealing new details about the event that will bring Black Bolt and the Inhumans into the cosmic clash with the Mad God of Titan (and the villain behind Loki’s invasion in The Avengers movie.)

“Events stories simply don’t come bigger Continue reading INFINITY & Avengers
