Savage Avengers, Best Avengers.
Savage Avengers #1 Review I'ma come out and say I've been hyped for this book for a while. I'm also going to say that the Savage Avengers are the best Avengers. The. Best. With the return of Conan and the continuing growth of Punisher and Wolverine/Logan's bad assery, Savage Avengers was gonna hit, hard. The Punisher can't be stopped right now, he's overthrowing Zemo's … [Read more...]
