When the Avengers rush out to save the day anywhere with civilians around, they are often mobbed. They’re celebrities, and everyone wants a photo or maybe just a lock of Beast’s fur:

Going Rogue
We’re at just over a week and a half before AVENGERS hits theatres here in the U.S. (and I don’t need to hear from any of you European types who have already seen it, thank you very much), and it’s already more than clear that this is going to be a massive hit, and that […]
Why It’s Better When Everyone Doesn’t Get Along
I’ve finally been able to put my finger on one reason why The Avengers appeal to me so much more than that other super heroic fighting team I referenced earlier this month. They actually argue. Simple, right? These heroes who save the day and universe time and time again get into fights with each other. […]
The Avengers and Coffee

Beast Makes Me Laugh
Let’s just face it. The Beast brightens any page with his humor, snark, and endearing expressions. Case in point: I may have to incorporate that saying into my everyday language.

Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You
The recent induction of Daredevil to the Avengers has got me thinking: when I first started reading comics, there was always a sort of conventional wisdom that there were certain Marvel characters that absolutely, hands down, no-questions would never been in the Avengers. For the longest time, that “common-knowledge” list was kind of set in […]
