Like many Marvel fans, I’m reading Civil War II. There are two issues out so far and considering it’s a limited series, it seems a good time to give some impressions on it. (And yes, there are spoilers!) Continue reading Comics Cosmos – Going to War… Again

Comics Cosmos – Buy Me a Mockingbird
Thanks to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I became interested in the character Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse). As sad as it was to see her and Hunter leave the show (yes, there was weepiness), I’m hoping they return since their spin-off wasn’t picked up for next season. She’s actually been around in the comics since 1977, showing up in other hero’s books or as part of a team. Only recently did Marvel give her a title all her own. So, of course, I’m reading it.

Comics Cosmos – Oh Captain, My Captain
Over the past year I’ve become a fan of the current incarnation of Captain Marvel. Why would I phrase it that way? Well, I’m not talking about the DC hero and the Marvel version has had a half dozen or so folks carrying the mantel. It’s not to say I’m not interested in the earlier Captains, but thus far it’s Carol Danvers who has me hooked. Continue reading Comics Cosmos – Oh Captain, My Captain
