By Andy Diggle (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Joe Pimentel (Inks), and Frank Martin (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: So far, I’ve had a fair share of conflicting emotions regarding Andy Diggle’s Thunderbolts run.

Mighty Avengers #15 (Secret Invasion) – Review

Posted on June 24, 2008 by andrewcmurphy

Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), John Romita Jr. (Breakdowns), and Klaus Janson & Tom Palmer (Finishes) There’s a trope in bad movies and TV shows that’s almost as common as guy-being-tortured-spits-in-his-tormenter’s-face. In this scenario, a man and a woman are about to climb into bed together, when the woman pulls out a pair of handcuffs and smiles. The [...]

By Dan Slott & Chris Gage (writers), Stefano Caselli (art), Daniele Rudoni (colors) Wow, the Taskmaster as a trainer for The Initiative? I didn’t see that coming!
