With this "Heroic Age" dawning in the Marvel Universe, every comics fan is looking forward to a new grand era of can-do, gung-ho, happy-go-lucky, cheese-and-bacon flavored superheroes, because for the last few years the Marvel U. has pitted brother against brother ... Asgardian against technocrat ... vigilante versus claws ... Super-Soldier versus bullet. But now, at last, it's going to be just like the old days ... when every hero was ever-ready to team up with another, to fight together for

Quickie reviews/reactions to recently read (though not always recently published) comics ... Maybe some SPOILERS ... So yeah, you know ...
