Crushing Comics S01E14 – Wolverine: Enemy of the State, Wolverine/Elektra: Redeemer, & SHIELD: Architects of Forever (plus, the Jonathan Hickman indie library)

by

It’s part two of talking through the massive brick of comic books I pulled off the shelf last episode, including a Wolverine blockbuster, and apocryphal tale of Elektra, and the one Jonathan Hickman book I just hate – plus, a quick overview of Jonathan Hickman’s indie bibliography.

Want to start from the beginning? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

Episode 14 features Wolverine: Enemy of the State (Amazon / eBay), which was also in the Wolverine by Mark Millar Omnibus (Amazon / eBay) along with Old Man Logan; Wolverine/Elektra: The Redeemer by Greg Rucka (Amazon / eBay); and SHIELD: Architects of Forever (Amazon / eBay). Both Wolverine books are covered in the Guide to Wolverine.

by

I haul a massive brick off the shelf today, but before I open it I go off on a long tangent about one of my favorite characters – Moon Knight! Then, it’s time to dig into the books – but, just half of them, since it was a seven-book stack!

Want to start from the beginning? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

Episode 13 features X-Men/Steve Rogers: Escape from the Negative Zone (Amazon), Spider-Man and the Human Torch (Amazon), Astonishing X-Men: Northstar (Amazon/ Astonishing X-Men Guide), and Storm in X-Men: Worlds Apart (Amazon) – plus an introductory discussion of Moon Knight (visit the guide!).
