Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1 of 5 I'm going to come right out and say it, spoiler, this book is legit. I absolutely loved it. It's exactly what a Marvel Knights should be, dark and harrowing, pushing its hero to the limits.

So what we've learned from Age of Ultron #10 and Hunger #1 is that meddling with the space time continuum is bad joo joo, and as Tony Stark learned, so is messing around with … [Read more...]
Galactus Hungers
Age of Ultron: Aftermath Hunger #1 Brian Michael Bendis and Marvel Comics love their post conflict story arcs. Avengers vs X-Men had theirs, which is still ongoing, and off in the distant universe Age of Ultron is now getting one.
